Identity issues

Since David’s placement I have experieced something of an identity crisis. For a long time our lives were all about him.  David did this. David did that. David needs to see his psychiatrist. David needs a different med. David assaulted so and so. David poisoned the dog. David took. 

Somedays I am lost without him getting into things and causing trouble.  Other days I am so very thankful for the residential placement that he is in now.

Today we are staffing David at the residential faciility. Maybe

Psych stay again

Working on getting David admitted to psych again. He is throwing up his meds, stealing and refusing meals. He has lost 5 pounds in the last week due to throwing up his meds.
