I just got a call that Akila was restrained last night after I left her, this is her first restraint. She has also been up since 3:30 am and hit a staff with a cup this morning and left a gash on their head. I am so grateful that we have professionals helping us right now, but have to say that inside I am so nervous for her return to our home in a few weeks.
It also feels very weird to know that my child is hurting others, leaving gashes and all. Please pray for her to calm down...
About Me
- Psycho Mom
- North Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
- My name is Barb and I am a teenager at heart who is married to Michael, an Accountant. We have 4 adopted children, Akila-12, Imani-11, Hezekiah-10 and Zeke-9. I am a youth worker by profession but currently staying home attempting to manage our household. My hope for this blog is that it will help me to avoid cleaning my house (I actually don't need help with avoiding housework) and give me some serenity (I do need help with this). My oldest child, Akila, has Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and that is what I will focus on in this blog.

Praying!
I'm so sorry you have to go through this with her.
I will. We have those phone calls almost every day.
Praying for Akila today. And for your family as you look to the future and prepare for her return.
I currently work in the criminal justice system and I attended a training in FASD today - I am almost positive that my step daughter suffers from some form. We are now going to persue further evaluation and treatment into her behavioral issues, struggling academically and basically struggling in so many other areas of her life. Thank You for your honestly and openess on your blog!
