As I work on my memoir, some dates on the calendar no longer pass unnoticed. November 13 is one of those dates. It is the day we took Savannah to her first residential treatment center in 2023. And one year later, it is the date she woke up in her own bedroom again, ready to continue her journey at home.
On November 13, 2023, I began a new journey too. Growing, changing, and a new way of being was not just for my kids in crisis. It was for me too. I needed rescuing just as much as my kids.
The following content comes from my manuscript. We are three years away from that day, and we are not the same people who sat on those couches in the conference room of the residential treatment center. It's a journey we continue, and we are starting to share it more and more.
