Denial, Denial, Denial – Placement just fell through

Well. We were all set to take David to a new facility on Monday. Today, that fell through. Evidently, we haven’t tried hard enough. We haven’t driven enough miles. We haven’t tried this program or that. The psychiatrist’s recommendation isn’t enough. We didn’t try to give up custody to the state.

David left his established area. He went outside of the boundaries established for him. When mom got home from looking for him with the intention of calling the police and reporting him as a run away he was home. Later, a local
