Peter came home from Laurelwood Monday afternoon.
It was sooner than I expected and has felt like it might have been too soon but .....
I trust God.
Peter is on a different set of medication this time.
He is not as debilitated as he was on the former, long acting medication.
He does seem more sober. I think the reality of what he is dealing with is hitting him. Last time he just thought he got stressed and had a breakdown and it wasn't going to happen again. This time its different. Something he can't control in himself happens to him. For the first 24 hours or so he was edgy and not very communicative.
He did have a video appointment with his new therapist this afternoon. I left the house. Peter said they talked for close to an hour. Peter did seem a little more "relaxed" after this. (That is an exaggerated use of the word relaxed.) He was more receptive to my conversation following this.
I am working to balance out helping him and yet not enabling while giving him independence Its tricky.
The paperwork I need to help him tackle is intimidating.
But we don't go this road alone. Grateful to the Lord Jesus, his presence and his word as well as his people who have been a great encouragment.
