"She's massively emotional about it. She's in pieces."
Katie Price is said to be devastated after reportedly moving her son Harvey into residential care.
According to New! magazine, the mum-of-five was "inconsolable" when the 16-year-old apparently moved out of her family home, and felt "utterly lost and devastated".
Although she was sure the supposed move was the right decision, she is said to be struggling with him no longer being around all the time.
Harvey –who is partially sighted, autistic and has genetic disorder Prader Willis syndrome which means he is hungry all the time – will now reportedly only return to her home on weekends.
Meanwhile, Katie also has to share Junior, 13, and Princess, 11 with first husband Peter Andre, and Jett, five, and Bunny, four, with Kieran Hayler.
This means that the former glamour model will have to face several nights of the week without any of her children for company.
"She has five kids and yet she's sitting in that big house all alone," the source added.
"She's beside herself and feels totally lost".
Katie's difficult decision to put Harvey in care comes after she called residential homes "evil" in an interview she gave back in 2013.
She also said earlier this year that she is forced lie to him to get out of the house, as she responded to the backlash about her decision to him in residential care.
