It only takes one child with extreme disabilities to put a family in chaos under the best circumstances. God bless them for adopting older kids and their siblings to keep them together.
We are at our wits' end right now. I have zero help for my autistic adult son, and he's been frustrated and violent for the past six months. He injured my husband this weekend to the point he cannot participate in his care, and beat on me this morning, including hitting me in the head. To top it off, my MIL has dementia that is rapidly advancing. She has occasional episodes of delirium, but usually is just paranoid and bipolar, accusing us of hitting her, etc.  |

my dosage of an antidepressant. My thoughts have definitely been darker over the last four months.
For example, I was relieved and happy about the Biden/Harris win, but I couldn't really feel it. On Thanksgiving, I got so aggravated with my MIL (who was verbally abusing me) that I told my husband I'd had enough of her, and while I wanted to call her a bitch, I stopped and told him, "Your mother is not a nice person." He responded, "I know. She's always been unstable. The neighbors had to call the cops on her when I was in 5th grade. I was mortified." She has called the cops on him three times over the last year, including once at 1:30am.
We'll be putting her into a Memory Care Center as soon as we can get it worked out, but she threw out all of her vital documents, so we are having to get certified copies of everything. I'm really glad that the time I spent in nursing with elderly patients did not include dementia patients. I would have resigned my license. I'm not cut out for it. |
