I wish I could tell you it will get easier but that would not be true, just remember that if the roles were reversed and he could tell you what is best for him, he would encourage you in your decision and tell you to be at peace with it.

I hope and pray for you and Billy that each day will get better.<br /><br />I had to place my husband in a long term home on January 2nd. And, like you, it was the hardest and saddest thing I've ever done in my life.<br /><br />My home is so empty without him, but I'm sleeping almost all night for the first time in a long time, and I feel confident in my difficult decision ......<br /><br />David is adjusting to his new home and I'm so thankful for that........<br />Keeping you all in my prayers for peace and new adjustments.Doloreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532665442199865950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289811992988702657.post-52186025832448752752012-01-30T20:16:43.742-08:002012-01-30T20:16:43.742-08:00Karen,

I remember you talking about leaving MIke for a few months for his meds and aggressive behavior. Each day is a struggle, but I know Billy is getting some much needed care in a loving environment. When he is finally qualified for Medicaid, we can re-evaluate his placement to determine what is best. God gives me the strength to get through it with peace of mind. My prayers are with you as you go with Mike through what seems to be his final journey to a place where he will be whole again.Kathy Knowleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821708227918444513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289811992988702657.post-72433958599880925162012-01-30T18:05:03.920-08:002012-01-30T18:05:03.920-08:00Kathy,

As I read your post, it reminded me of the time I had to leave Mike in the Geriatric Psych ward for medication adjustment. It was the worst time of my life. I will pray for you to stay strong and for Billy that he adjust well to his new home. I'm sure things will work out.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13072387476319001779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289811992988702657.post-5381673213786090252012-01-30T04:02:20.438-08:002012-01-30T04:02:20.438-08:00Dear Kathy,

I remember so vividly the afternoon I left my mom for the first time. It was so hard. Leaving my husband is beyond my comprehension. I know to the marrow of my being that the Lord is very near and will carry you through this transition. You are amazing.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692441927088206260noreply@blogger.com
