Have missed you all the past few weeks, I see there is a lot going on!! Well, life has been pretty interesting here, my son has started therapy services for his Autism....they come to my home 3 x's a week right now to start, for 3 hour sessions. Then he still has E.I. services 2 x's a week, sooooo we are pretty busy everyday!! My son is doing great with this so far, but it's a lot of work and he is still getting used to it (so am I ). Also I have been communicating w/ my SS through myspace, and so far so good still. BM has not done anything, but, the funny thing right now, is she has not logged onto her page for several weeks, right after I started talking to SS. So that is strange, but hey, I'll take it. Silence is golden when it comes to her. Sometimes when I'm talking to SS he jumps off and on while we are writing back and forth, that's funny too, but I don't pay any mind to it, I have a feeling of whats going on with that. SS and I don't write a lot or anything, but it's nice to do at least once a week or so. DH jumps on and says hi to him as well, and I can see that he really likes that. So that is one good thing we have goin' right now with skids. My MIL has decided to "bow-out" from trying to tell us what to do about the skids, and the lack of phone calls, and catering to them like they were a couple of celebrities....some of you all may remember me writing about that issue before. MIL has begun to understand that we just can't "fix" everything, and sometimes it is better to leave well enough alone, even if we don't like it. The abuse we have already gone through over issues with the skids and BM is not something that we are going to keep repeating over and over again. The straw that broke that back was the day we got the Autism diagnosis for our son, and MIL knew about it, she called us back later that day, to talk about how things are unfair to the skids (relating to the lack of phone communication)....thats what she wanted to talk about that day!!! DH was pissed, and I just blew up. Yeah, you want to know whats unfair.....my son got diagnosed with Autism today, try that on for size.........yes , it's unfair that we can't speak to the skids as often as we would like, it's also unfair that their mom is a beyond crazy whack job and is responsible for this whole situation in the first place!!!! You want to cry about what is unfair to the skids, go to the source, and cry to their mother!!! It was a very bad moment, but I'm sorry, it needed to be said! I just kept repeating to DH, "not today honey....not today!!!" I just could not believe what I was hearing from MIL right then, and it was all because of what BM said to her when she picked up the skids for a visit the last time..."why don't u tell their dad to call them once and a while"....UGHHHH, I believe I already blogged about that incident when it happened, and here it was still stuck in MIL's head. DH told MIL to stay away from BM from now on, and he does not want to hear anymore of that. Dust has settled sence then, and everything is ok with us and MIL now. She realizes she was "set-up" and is pretty pissed off herself. Well, I just wanted to jump on and say hi to everyone and give an update. I keep pushing forward!
