Hi crystal my name is Cathy. I put my 11 year old son in a home a year and half ago. It is 2AM on Monday and I can't sleep because I still miss him a lot. Some days are better than others. I cry when I am alone. I ask why? He is doing well my son I am not. My heart hurts. I see him also on the weekends. It is indeed the ultimate unselfish sacrifice. Hang in there! my email is [email protected] ↑

Crystal, I can identify with you. I had to place my 12 yr. old severely autistic grandson in a group home 2 months ago. Christmas was not easy, although he did spend the day at my home with me. But I had to bring him back. It broke my heart. I get by one day at a time and some days are better than others. I understand just how hard it is and miss my grandson soo much.
