About Me

Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
I'm first of all a Christian mother. I have five children and two grandchildren whom I adore. Does this make me June Cleaver? Not even on a good day. But I do wake up every day acutely aware of how my actions affect the behavior of my children and even others around me. I said I was AWARE of it not that I was GOOD at it! So goes my day...

He is who he is

Ian went into a adolescent behavioral center Friday.....after being in the ER for 24 hours. I found out that he took "15 or 17" of his Clonidine tablets and made no attempt to tell anyone. I had already sent him to school and he kept falling asleep so of course his teacher wanted to know why. Thus began our journey with the residential behavioral health center.
There are too many reasons why yet none of them truly explain anything. Who is Ian? What makes him who he is? Was he born with these difficulties? Did they develop over time? What affected his development? He is who he is..........
