Hi again ladies. I am going through a very rough time right now and need some support. My mom tried to commit suicide last night (11/3/0 and although this is nothing new to deal with the way she tried to do it was. My grandmother goes to AZ every winter and she is looking at leaving sometime very soon. My mother has had 2 brain anyerusms and a stroke. She also has depression and some other things wrong with her. It hurts me to have to deal with this but I know I have too. I spent part of yesterday with her and my grandma. My mom lives in a home (kind of like a half way house). Anyway, I went to check on her and I found her on her bedroom floor wrists bleeding. I panicked and then called 911. She was rushed to the hospital. I am just having trouble dealing with it b/c I am under so much stress with Julienne (who btw is coming home this weekend ) and my ex (husband) who got into a car accident and landed himself in the hospital as well. The only nice part about it is they're all in the same hospital building so I don't have to make 3 seperate trips to different hospitals. I just don't know what to anymore with what's going on with her b/c she is almost always in and out of the hospital but since now she has Cut herself I don't know what to do or think. Sorry for the long vent/rant and if you made it through it congrats!!!!

Glad that your daughter is coming home from the hospital!

Sorry to hear about your mom... Isn't there some where else that she could go that could keep a better eye on her? Like a hospital? If you try to commit suicide and they feel you're unstable they have to keep you on a 5150 hold ((Britney Spears taught me that ), I know it's a horrible feeling, but maybe it would help with some stress?

Good luck!

WOOHOO for Julienne coming home!! How old is she now?
I'm really sorry about your mum. I think if she is becoming violent towards herself (if thats the right words) that it might be a good idea to seek some more professional help.

And your ex is out of jail? wow I missed that. Please remember to keep yourself and your babies as safe as possible. I'll be praying for you and your family Stephanie.s

Julienne is 44 days old now. She is still tiny as ever though! My mom is in the psych ward in the hospital and I am hoping that this time they recognize she really does need a lot of mental help. Chris got out of jail for one day (something with good behavior or something) and he ended up in a car crash and then in the hospital. I am pretty sure once he gets released from the hospital he goes back to the jail so we will see where things go from here....thank you to all you ladies who have continued to give me such support.

(((HUGS))) It sounds like your plate is already full, but you could probably use some supportive therapy yourself. There are people who can help you cope with everything your mom is going through. Not to mention the extras going on in your life right now.

Stephanie - I can't really offer you any advice, but I want to wish you strength. The hospital is way more equipped to deal with your mom (both mentally and physically) so don't feel that you have to bear that burden all by yourself. You just concentrate on your children - especially little Julienne! I bet her brothers are so excited to have her home

Take care and stay healthy.
