Major Family Issues

We have 4 kids…21, 16, 14, 8.  We are in a very hard season with our 8-year-old son, due to some major behaviors and safety concerns for himself and the family.  It’s been a very rough 18 months and with medication changes, therapy, love and support he continues to escalate. We continue to search for ways to help him. He suffers from severe ADHD, PTSD, and RAD. We are just trying to make it through each day. We are seeking residential treatment, which is the last thing any parent wants but his safety and our safety is currently at risk.

AND in the middle of all this we are about to be grandparents. Our oldest is going to be a father in about a month. He and the mom are no longer together. They aren’t communicating very well.  He feels shut out and just wants to be as supportive as he can and love on his baby girl. Our two girls in the middle are making it ok but emotionally struggling with all the chaos in the house and extra attention the 8-year-old needs/takes. My husband and I barely have time to talk. We are very connected but also feel so far apart right now, being pulled in 100 different directions and emotionally and mentally drained.
