As I lay in bed I sometimes let my mind wander to the past. Sometimes I don't like what feelings come from this. I should feel content and satisfied with my life and how it has turned out. But then I remember how much we have gone through as a family. How much my children have gone through individually.
As a mother I wanted only what's best for my children, unfortunately others did not see it that way. I remember when I hit rock bottom.
It was May of 2005, I received a phone call at work and I wasn't prepared for what I was told. "Your son has admitted to thinking about suicide" and as a councilor she had to take him to Emergency to be evaluated. Now at first I was horrified, but gathered my self and met our son at the hospital. He was admitted to the Psych ward and kept on suicide watch for two days.
My life with my Special Needs son Chad, who aquired Brain Damage at the age of two. My blog will tell of our struggles, triumphs,of my ongoing advocacy, and how he has made me a better person. This blog is also about other personal struggles both old and new, and how each day I choose to be thankful for my life.
