Love your raw honesty about your children's pain and also your own. Sending you peace in the moments "between." Well, between the other junk. My daughter has been in an out of state PRTF for 2.5 years and is soon coming home. I am facing my own PTSD as I think of going back into the ring with her on the home front. It can be so ugly, and only a mama to ONE! I can't imagine your world with so many! Here's my blog if you'd like it. http://couldntmakeitupifitried-jen.blogspot.com/Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127943882280906686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-836394109152759629.post-10144674986457067992011-07-28T06:24:27.972-07:002011-07-28T06:24:27.972-07:00Sending you a big chenille blanket hug.....Sending you a big chenille blanket hug.....Erickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03870497728625144863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-836394109152759629.post-72561080499138113352011-07-27T15:47:55.842-07:002011-07-27T15:47:55.842-07:00Linds,

I would have been sobbing loudly and mortifying my child. It already seemed to me that, more than most parents, you are able to understand your children's pain because of your time in Haiti....and I can see how simply SEEING the things you saw would be traumatic. It is hard to imagine it happening to YOUR OWN WORLD...all your familiar landmarks, people you know, everything that is "home". At least my children can think that their former "places" are still THERE as they remember them.<br /><br />Yes; your little one would beat a weighted blanket, hands down....and the benefit of a personal therapist is nothing to sneeze at! No one deserves it more than you!<br /><br />Do you feel as though the hospitalization itself is making P. worse? Or that she was on a downward spiral before she was hospitalized that would have taken the same trajectory? Do you imagine an alternative treatment scenario where she would be doing better now? On one hand I am so glad she can call you; on the other it must be tking years off your life. I hope that Mormons have some idea of "offering it up" (as Catholics do); otherwise I don't know how you can bear it.<br /><br />AnnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-836394109152759629.post-26977225338857570712011-07-26T21:17:10.588-07:002011-07-26T21:17:10.588-07:00Wow.

My heart cried with you all the way through this one...and yet I can't help but standing up on a hill and shouting with joy because I am SOOOO dang proud of you! Rather than stuffing this horrible experience, you DID what we teach our kids to do every day...you used your words and you gave it a voice. And you took a giant step toward healing. Not only will it be less scary next time it comes up, it will be less scary for it to come up and it will be easier to talk about and talk through each time it does come up. Hard stuff. VERY hard and ugly stuff...but I still can't help but smile from ear to ear because I'm SOOOO proud of you!!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444891084585965661noreply@blogger.com
