I'm gone all weekend out of town for a conference (I'm teaching a section so excited!) the college is paying for all of it (even more yay!) including the hotel! SO gets his kids for his week tomorrow. I made a switch with my ex and my ds will be also gone at his dads for the entire weekend, dd started a new job and going to hang at her dads as well. All SO has to do?

We went out to dinner last night with all 4 kids, SO's kids admitted they have NEVER been to a resturant besides Mcdonalds, there were a few moments making good food choices, elbows off the table but otherwise they we're really good and props to SO for expecting manners AND supporting my expectations without problem. SS was nervous and quiet the whole time, you could see the anxiety in him, my dd and I got him to talk tell us about his friend, and his week he loosened up.

BM to SO. Her dad was served with the RO and he kicked her and the kids out. Of course it isn't her fault that she didn't stop her father abusing the kids it's not her fault she told her dad to do it because she didn't want to punish them. What she also said was to ss she told him it was his fault for telling us that grandpa was still beating him that they were homeless and he'd never see his grandparents again.

The process to get ss evaluated started, doc agreed to do it and ss pretty much showed why while we were in the office. As we adults are talking to the doc ss is sitting there all calm as a cucumber mouth agape looking at the door. doc says "well he seems to do well sitting still look at him" kid didn't respond, SO say "hey ss" kid shakes his head mouth still hanging open "huh?" Doc starts to talk to him and he's playing with his shoes, pulling at his shirt playing with his hands scooting up and down the exam table pulling at the paper and then bouncing up and down.
