Is that what it is? Today has been horribly hard. I'm normally a very emotional person. I cry at commercials for crying out loud! For some reason, I had been so cold about the whole thing. I figured I was in shock? Well, that's over now! I haven't slept and the tears are flowing.
My heart is broken. Not only for him, but the other kids who witnessed the effects of his attempt. I can't bring myself to go into his room. It's too painful to see..
We haven't spoken with our son yet. He called the house for his 5 minute phone call last night, but we weren't home. Not sure why he didn't call our cells? Hmm... maybe I actually do. I know he's angry with us, but he is where he needs to be. At any rate, I'm looking forward to talking with him this evening. **fingers crossed**
We're still on the lookout for substance abuse treatment centers within a few hours of Oklahoma City that will work with our insurance. There are like 6 in the Dallas area that take adolescents. Our plan is to find one while he's in the hospital here and then he'll go directly to a substance abuse treatment facility when he's discharged. He doesn't know that yet. I'm not sure when we'll break the news to him. I guess when we get everything coordinated and we know it's a sure thing?
If anyone recommends an adolescent treatment center in OK, TX, MO, KS... anywhere within a few hrs of OK please PM me!
Thank you for thinking us us. It means a lot.
