A rainy day has turned into a quiet night. Lindsey is working on her scrapbook. Bree has fallen asleep on the couch, Allie is half asleep in the recliner after finishing up her week of soccer camp. She had decided to commute this year rather then sleeping over and I was nervous about letting her make that drive but she made it to and from camp this week and both she and the car were in one piece. It is about 45 minutes away. She wanted to be home to help with her sister, what a sweet, amazing daughter I have! I thought she should sleep over and have a break - but she insisted. I love quiet nights like this when I can just watch my girls relax.
I'm listening to the crickets and cicadas sing through the open window. Trying to think about where to go next with Bree's treatment after researching and thinking about all the drugs she is on. How to help with her depression. She needs more friends, I wish we could find her a support group close by. She is still not eating well at all. All I can think of is to keep her around us, give her a lot of hugs, and tell her we love her, will never leave her and will always love her. She just went through so much abuse. She is working through it in therapy, but when a friend leaves her or disappears from her life it just really breaks her. When Bree loves someone, she tends to really get attached to that person. It's hard for her to trust people but once she does she gets attached.
So how to help her with her broken heart? I wish I know. We all get a broken heart and move on, but it's hard to know how to heal from them sometimes. It's harder when your child is hurting and you know you can't fix it.
