Chava, please.......

Even if you dont feel like writing, please let us know you are still out there. I have been where you are now, in the dark, I'm not going to say "I know how you feel" as we are not the same person, we have different emotions. But I do know how it feels to hurt. To have your own world swallow you whole, until nothing is left but the darkness. Please see your way through. Please give a "I'm ok." to us, you don't have to say anything more. My prayers are with you and your son. Chel.

Why does bad news always follow the good news for me???

Chel Bell's picture

Hi everyone. Ok, good news first: as I have posted in the past, I live in a shelter/apartment in a crummy area of mass. My husband and I have been working hard to save $$, it's hard when you only get half your check, and we have a baby, but anyways we have been doing what we need to. And we assist our case worker in looking for public housing, that is more stable than a shelter. I was also preparing to go to school to get my diploma in child care. I used to work in that field before I had kids, and need to go back to school to move ahead w/ my education, the state will pay my tuition.

why do we have to wait so long...

We sent BM a part of the proposal to find her reasoning on why she does not want what BF wants. We sent it on Wed and still no answer from her. But we sent her 2 emails this evening one to tell her BF found her van title and would mail it tomorrow and the other to ask if baby come come to a birthday dinner for his grandpa. She repsonded to both within an hour but no word on the Wed note. UGH! Why can't she just be reasonable and cooperate like she agreed in the divorce decree.

I tried updating yesterday but AOL kept messing up

I was so mad at BM yesterday! I got to school for SD12's meeting and two teachers and the councilor came in. I was thinking something must be VERY wrong! But what it was is SD is suppose to be in special education. I was floored! I didn't think she had any problems in school. Teacher said she was suppose to be special needs classes for Math, Reading, and Social Studies. But then they told me she was in a advanced reading level for her age and grade. I was also informed that the state of North Carolina never even tested her before placing her in any of these classes.

Need Help....

So my SS13 has not been coming over. We have him EOW but he keeps making excuses as to why he cannot be with us on his Dads weekend. So I have issues with DH because he works on Sat and up until this last fall I would pick up SS on Sat morning. After lots of trouble and problems with SS and BM I told DH that he needed to pick SS up himself after work on Sat....I also told DF that this would also continue this summer.

Event at SS's school went well!

BM invited BF and me to attend a schoolwide spring carnival type event at SS's school last night. BF thought that it was just gonna be an opportunity for BM to point out "the little tramp" to all of her family and all of the other parents. But in the spirit of how well everything's been going lately, we went. I even baked a cake for the cake walk that SS's room was hosting (which got snatched up very quickly! That made me feel good Smile ).

whatever

Can u beleive that? She is 16 now and the lies just keep coming!!!!!!!

More strange turns in my epic drama

So for those of you who know my story, you'll find these things just as strange as BF and I do. Last weekend, BF got SS on Thursday night to stay for Easter - extra time that BM gave him which was not in the parenting plan. That alone was interesting enough. Well, BF was so busy Thursday that he couldn't leave to get SS, so he asked her if I could go get him. She said OK! She'd meet me at the end of her road. So I went and picked up SS, and she loaded him into our car and made smalltalk with me about SS. She said congratulations on the baby and she hopes everything goes well.
