Hi eveyone, I'm not a new member, but it's been awhile since I have been around. In the last year we have been so involved with my teenage son (16) that I have not been able to do anything but take care of him and our family. He was experiencing depression and anxiety and even tried to commit suicide. He was in a hospital for 8 days over 7 hours away. When he came home my ds started homebound schooling and intensive counseling services. The entire family took family counseling. My ds ended up acting out and had to go to juvenile detention for a week. I still can't understand where we went wrong for all of this to happen. In the mix, he has been in a toxic relationship with a girl for over a year. We have weathered the worst (I hope) and now are trying to get back on track with finances. There is alot of medical and mental health debt. Slowly (oh soooo slowly) things are getting back on track. I am really happy to have Frugal Village to come back to.
