A not so Merry Christmas
Our Daughter has been going through some serious preteen drama these days. Last Thursday we had to do something I never thought we would have to do. We had to bring Sj to the hospital in fear that she may harm herself over school drama. They admitted her for 3 days because she cut her arms up. I knew the high schools were getting bad but I never knew the extent, until now. There is so much more pressure to fit in and to belong to a certain group of kids. We are lucky that Sj can feel comfortable enough to talk to us about how she is feeling or this could have ended in tragedy. Dealing with this has really put a damper on our holidays. We are dealing with so many appointments and trying to help her the best we can. I'm hoping the Christmas bug will bite us soon but for now I'm trying to nudge it along by doing Christmas type family thing's like decorating the empty tree that has been sitting in our living room for a week.
Have a great weekend all!

Oh my, our thoughts and prayers go out to you, in hopes of Sj getting past this. That is something I am dreading in the teen years, which is a long way off. It is good she is able to talk to you though.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your thoughts very much appreciated! Things are going a little better for now :)
DeleteI'm so sorry to read that SJ is going through such a difficult time. I do think it's great though that you have the type of relationship that made her feel comfortable coming to you. Thank goodness for that. Sending lots of Christmas cheer to you and yours this holiday season.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Merry Christmas to you & your cute little family as well!
