The BIG Decision

Took a couple days off from blogging because there were some huge decisions in the air. How can we keep living this miserable existence? Not much longer. How can we properly supervise her when she needs constant supervision? We can't. How can we deal with her compete lack of hygiene now that she is an adolescent? Again, we can't. Is it good for her to have no interaction with peers, other than school? No. Is it good for her to never be able to play outside because we don't have time to supervise her? No. Is it good for us that we never have any time alone together, can't go out for an evening together, can't even run daily errands together? No. What to do about all of this? All of this contemplation brought us to the end result; we will start investigating group home placement. Part of me feels like we will have failed her if we send her to a group home. Another part of me knows that we gave her a chance to grow and thrive, and now it's time for the next logical step. Stayed tuned for the emotional roller coaster ride that is sure to follow.
