Princess has had a rough week, and has taken it all out on me. Earlier this week, I told her I thought we needed a Girls Night on Friday and she agreed. It's something I've been wanting to do for months, but she's just always so busy with work and Senior year stuff. I was very excited about our night, and had planned to play with her hair to decide on prom hairstyles. I even bought new nail polish and her favorite snack foods and planned to rent a movie. My friends invited me out for the evening, but I said no- I'm hanging with my daughter!
A little frustrated yesterday and this morning. And realize I just need to get it out so I can let go of it.
My daughter is an 11yr old with Asperger's. It took a long time for a psychiatrist and psychologist to work this out and all along I knew but I'm not educated like the professionals so I took their word for their diagnosis most time but I know deep in my heart she's Aspergers in which she was diagnosed in 2006.
My ex-husband has been violent towards me during and after the marriage and is a big time farmer who made me always feel that maybe he was right and I am wrong............
Thanks so much for those who prayed or sent well wishes...I am so freaking excited we were able to find the house we wanted and cheap!
I don't know if this is the correct place to put this entry or not.
I read a news story today that really broke my heart. It was about a 4 yr. old child named Dominick Calhoun from Michigan. I am just heartbroken that this happened. I started to cry not long ago upon seeing his little picture. Dominick was allegedly tortured and died due to his injuries for wetting his pants. His alleged attacker was his Mom's BF. In an article it was said that the BF allegedly resented the child because his father wouldn't or wasn't paying child support for this child.
I thought I shouldn't have come.
I cried, she listened, and even though she was at work, she offered me the comfort of an ear, of letting me know I could leave in any form if it was too much- as in leave the whole retreat or leave a class if need be.
The woman who runs the retreat also had told me to use it in anyway productive- meaning just come to the retreat, go for a walk on the beach of Lake Erie, or stay in my room and drink wine. She gave me a partial scholarship so I would come, and not have to have a roommate.
Ok, are I and DH the only ones who find this kinda creepy.... BM's man proposed to her (yay!! Maybe she will chill a little once she marries this guy) but... When he proposed to BM he also got on one knee and proposed to SD14 and asked her to be "his daughter" wtf?! SD accepted. Not only did he propose to SD and put a ring on her finger it was a ring that DH gave to BM some 10 years ago for a wedding anniversary. Now that this has happened DH told BM that it was totally inappropriate to ask SD to be BM's mans daughter.
I know a judge probably will not grant this, but just wondering DH's chances ( he thinks it is pretty slim too ). We live about 98 miles away from SD6. We meet at a halfway point with BM EOWE. Its an hour to drive there and an hour back. Just wondering if a judge will grant DH to have every weekend? Or if BM was okay with DH having SD every weekend, if a judge would grant it..? Just wondering what you guys thought thanks!
DH,
I don't want to fight with you. I just want to shed a little light on my side of these perpetual issues.
First of all, I don't like your parenting style. It's obvious that it doesn't work. I have tried it and kids don't take talking to them very seriously. If so, two of five of your kids would not have dropped out of school and would have graduated. Since when is it that they take anything seriously, especially when you don't SHOW action? Try supporting your claim, "Actions speak louder than words."!!!!!!!! But, this is not my problem!
A crummy week ended really well today. TGIF.
How do you end a rotten week?
I am having a wonderfully cold beer with lime and salt ... and some pizza made by a little mom and pop pizzeria down the road.
