"I Was Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired"

"It's finally over. I can finally breathe again."

From the August 2023 issue of the Connecticut Department of Children and Families newsletter, "Spotlight on What's Right."

These are the words Tyler DiChichio thought to himself the day he went to the foster home for the last time to bring his son, Tyler Jr., home.

Someday, he will explain to his little boy, the extensive efforts he put forth to completely change his life, gain sobriety and have reunification day forever etched in his memory. "I always wanted to have a child," Tyler stated. "God blessed me with a beautiful, healthy son, and the ball's in my court, and I had to just take control of it."
