update on Max ...

since my son Max lost his granddad and his first girlfriend after beeing together with her for only 8 days!! (she killed herself!) Max is getting better.

There are times where I have to look after him which is hard for me too cause he can get really down especially if he forgot his pills he got from the doctors. they help him to calm the pain down of loosing both of them.

He is in a dayclinic for psychiatric patients. he's there from monday to friday, sometimes saturdays too. They have talks with the doctor and do stuff together as a team. He also get weekly a "job", which is like doing the tea and coffee for breakfast or he would be with others in the kitchen where they got to make a plan by themself what to cook and buy the food aswell. Or he got the cleaning part where he got to wash the clothes and iron them. He wouldnt do all that stuff at home!! :mrgreen:

He also feels that he doesnt have any energy at home while living with me. but if he's together in the clinic with other people he's got a lot energy and wants to do stuff. So he decided that it would be good for him to move into a flat with other patients where they would be also 2 psychological doctors who would look after them all monday to friday. evenings and weekends these patients (about 6-7) would be on their own. It's an offer they have here in germany and i think it's an good idea if you're not ready to move out from home and live on your own.

it takes some time until a room will be free but they will have soon talks about it and Max can have a look at the flat and which people are living there.

I do hope it's getting better, we both miss my dad,his granddad deeply and we're hoping for a better future for both of us as we really had a very had time the last month.

PS: Charlie is fine, i think she's more used to the move and weather and life here than we are but I think once Max is sorted out I can start living aswell!

All good thoughts and prayers to you and your family
I'm happy Max is getting such good care. The living arrangement sounds ideal for him! I know you will miss him and you will worry about him until your last breath......it's a mother thing........

I hope your job is still enjoyable. Charlie is there for you, just ask her--long walks, good snuggles, she's your girl.
Hope things go well for Max with the new living arrangement. It is great that they offer that option for people who really need it.
Sounds wonderfull for Max, hoping it all goes to plan and you have a life to live after all that has gone on in the prior time. :ghug:

The arrangements to be sound perfect, hard to let go of our babies but might be the best thing for Max and you. Sheepie hugs to you all and charlie, I know how difficult it can be but sometimes we need to let go of the apron strings and hope all will be well and for them, also to know as a momma you will always be there for support too. Been a hard time for you and max so here is praying all will be well and Max has found some happiness too especially after loosing his grandpa and girlfriend that life is well worth living and full of a lifetime of experiences waiting to happen. :wink:

:ghug:
Thanks for the update on Max's progress. It sounds like he's getting good care and making progress.

Sending good wishes to you, Max and Charlie. :ghug: :ghug:
I hope this living arrangement and care giving group will be able to help Max.
It's quite the hard time anyway, for anyone. Loss heaped on top of stress and anxiety is never easy.

Don't forget to get out for YOU Monika. Take a bit of time whenever you can to smell the roses!
Way to go, Max!

I remember wanting to move out of my parent's house, too! Oh yes I do!!!!
(It wasn't a reflection on how much I loved my Mom at all... Not only did I feel better about myself, but the relationship between us improved 1,000%!)
Glad to hear that Max is doing better.

I know it is hard to let our kids go. But I can say, from personal experience, that sometimes just making a change helps get us moving from sad memories. It gives us something new to look forward to, new things to learn, new people to meet.
