The other two families bailed on us. They felt they needed to move more slowly than we are able to. We need Nat to have a structured place to live and I just don’t see us being able to set that up so well here.<\/p>\n
I feel like I need to escape the very skin on my bones. I am so uncomfortable with this situation. I love my boy and I want him to be happy and stable. I have to regroup, think what to do. There’s Shared Living, which is when someone has their own apartment, with a caregiver. That might work but as Ned says, “It feels little.” It feels lonely. But would he be lonely? He would still have his Day Program and his social group and friends. It’s just mealtime mostly that he’d be just with the caregiver. And we are interviewing one this weekend; he might be fabulous.<\/p>\n
But I am just a jumble of nerves, not knowing what’s next. My go-to guy, my guru, the one who has helped me so much with all this education and planning, is not around this week. I don’t really know how to get through this time. I’ve lost weight from the stress and upset stomach and too-much-biking to escape it all.<\/p>\n
I’m glad for the weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
