WEST BARNSTABLE In the days leading up to Christmas, George and Victoria Kelloyan made a painful realization.
Their bubbly, 19-year-old daughter, Tatiana, needed more help than they could give for substance abuse and mental health problems.
The teen had totaled a PT Cruiser and Honda Accord in the wake of a painful breakup with a boyfriend.
She would leave their West Barnstable home at night against her parents wishes and return slurring her words, acting confused and threatening to kill herself.
At least four times, the Cotuit-Osterville-Marstons Mills Fire Department transported Tatiana to Cape Cod Hospital for an evaluation of her physical and mental health, the Kelloyans said. Each time, they said, their daughter was released and returned home.
