Ameri's life has been one of pain, abandonment and loss. She was scarred from birth and she went through a period of dicey choices in her late teen years.

Monday, February 27, 2006

Today the drama continues . . .

The hospital wants Ameri to be moved along and Ameri knows that she is in a safe place. She has no choice but to comply when she is locked away. When she is home, her impulses take over and she can go out the door as she chooses. We have no control except to lock her out. Tough love is not an easy proposition for either side.

I am reminded of a Fleetwood Mac song that addresses the ways of love and relationships no matter if they are of eros or familial.

It goes:

The Chain

Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise

Run in the shadows
Damn your love, damn your lies

And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain

Listen to the wind blow, down comes the night

Run in the shadows
Damn your love, damn your lies

Break the silence
Damn the dark, damn the light

And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain

Chain...keeps us together
(run into the shadows)
Chain...keeps us together
(run into the shadows)
Chain...keeps us together
(run into the shadows)
