NAKED and AFRAID

 

"Today has been overwhelming, to say the least. I'm being tested on every level, and my privacy has been invaded. I had to attend my son's court hearing, and he's still in a mental facility. This is an unusual case, and they're unsure how or where to place him. I'm being honest and open because that's what my blog is about. But now, I'm dealing with multiple agencies that don't know how to handle my son's mental illness. I feared he'd get lost in the system, and now the whole city knows his name - not in a good way. I'm suffocating under the weight of this surreal nightmare. As a devoted mother of over a decade, I've dedicated my life to my children. But now, I'm being investigated because my son is a danger to himself and others. Medications and hospitalizations haven't worked. I'm stuck, and I feel like I'm losing him too. The system is backed up, and no one took my son's mental health seriously until he started school. I've been fighting for him since he was four, and now I'm forced to deal with people from my past who don't know how to help him. I'm scared for his future, and I'm being blamed for his condition. Being a parent isn't just about providing for your children's wants; it's about creating a safe environment, like I have. My children have a safe space to vent, cuddle, and feel loved. But now, my motherhood is being questioned, and it's unfair. I'm exhausted, consumed by this chaos, and unable to focus on my classwork. I feel like I'm being forced to take the fall for everyone else's shortcomings. When does life get easier? Is this really the rest of my life? I need GOOD news. I need VINDICATION!!

THIS IS SO WILD!
