Update on Mom

Lady.Tremaine's picture

Well folks things have taken a turn for the worse.

My mother had a brain bleed stroke and hasn't woken up. I'm back home feeling guilty leaving my sister with this mess.

Her odds are very very low. Like my sister basically being asked when to pull the plug low.  I keep wanting to ask my mother for advice only to realize I can't.

So I'm focusing on some of the positives of what this has shown in people

OT thoughts, vibes, prayers needed.

My mother ( aka a total bad ass if anyone remembers that blog) was found by my sister at home not very responsive today.

My sister called ambulance and my mother has a hemorrhage in her brain. She's currently in a medically induced coma with no word of how this will pan out.

I feel like I left my family to move so far for my husband and his kids. Now I feel like a complete traitor leaving my sister alone to deal with this. 

Things are getting better?

Summary of my steplife - eldest SD8 loves being at our small house every other weekend. SD5 rarely spent nights over 

Husband was a total douche on loads of occasions ( see past blogs)

Well two weeks ago I booked a house on a canal for DHs bday. Both kids were invited and had their own room and despite sleeping with mommie dearest they were more than happy to have privacy. Youngest stayed with us the whole time and didn't cry for mommie once.

Meanwhile child catcher mommie dearest was blowing up phones . I guess that part of the codependency was figured out.

How did it come to this?

It's been awhile. Since I last posted I ended up caving as I always do. I started picking up the kids due to my husband's work. I pick them up for all visitation besides every other Thursday when BM drops them off.

Friday night started off not so great. During the 15 or 20 minutes before SO got home the kids took to destroying things ( throwing candyland pieces everywhere, taking all the rubber bands I had on their brush off and flinging them about)

Well DH is now dumb husband

First off: missed you guys  I lurk a lot but don't  comment as much anymore. 

The eldest is now glued to her tablet constantly.  DH is to his phone . So thats been... fun

Well I recently switched from netflix to hbo max due to netflix canceling a favorite  show of mine.  So since SD5 left today its literally all personal screen time. Like the house is pin drop quiet.

I found out they had school of rock on hbo max which I loved as a kid. She was already  busy so I was doing this for myself and maybe to get some family time interest  

Child Catcher taking the kids to another state , hotel time?

*hard sigh* 

So back in I want to say May or so DH brought up BM may be taking the kids to see her brother in quite a few states away ( like day drive states away)

Now last he and I spoke of it he had said they may not due to COVID. Well today he says yes they are going after all and he totally told me and I must have just forgot. Um no DH you didn't you just like to sneak things and drop them off when possible. 

Anyways so I asked about will he be seeing / having the skids over afterwards. He said "we'll play it by ear"

We have a new influx of posters. Hi y'all! Hope this site is giving you advice. This is going to be an update/ reasons you should hed the advice here going into things as a new poster

1. My DH is still a silent push over. Here's how I started to learn how to not care

So my DH has grown from being full on Disney dad to having decent discipline and boundaries. While it's nice he still has not asked BM for the password to get SD7s grades

Any takers on why? My guesses are 

OT-ish proud of my mom

Hope everyone has been doing ok with everything going down. Things aren't great here but I've thrown complaining to the wind as I'm voice is to deaf ears so I'm beginning the semi disengaging process. Here's a decent story to brighten at least maybe my day. 

So my mother finally started seeing someone a few months ago. Well seeing someone to the point of telling me. She never remarried after my father. Had a few engagements but the last one was over 15 years ago. Guy was in the midst of a divorce and left my mother once she got a cancer diagnosis. Great guy... -_-

Ohhh Child Catcher...

In prior blogs I've mentioned BMs nickname as child Catcher and oh boy. It's fitting like a glove still.

SD 4 didn't even bother to come over this weekend. At least that saved DH the usual 10pm "I miss my mom" trip.

But did that stop child Catcher from calling twice last night and twice so far today with SD7? Nope. And these are not quick face times. Usually half hour rambles with her going "we miss you girlfriend" over and over. We got you gifts. We are getting McDonald's right now. Why is she trying to PAS them both ?
