And now I'm hearing Rod Serling's voice, but the song by Golden Earring.
husband is... Hmm. He's upset for the kids, and at the same time totally relieved. I have discovered - through this - that the abuse he endured was a lot more extreme than I realized.
I'm worried for the kids, overwhelmed, and realized earlier I am now the only mother of any kind the kids have. HUGE responsibility. I'll do my best though - as I always have. I did have a moment this morning where I silently thanked bio for giving them to me, no matter how it happened, and promised I'd try to do my best.
I went to JC Penney earlier to find a dress shirt and slacks for Jett; we have a black tie, and he can wear his tennis shoes... He IS a kid, after all.
Onyxx - I offered to take her out and get her a dress if she wishes - all she has to do is call me. Up to her, 100%. I took her the two dresses she had in her closet. I'm going to ask her what kind of flowers bio liked - I'll get one for each child. The stepdaughter too, and I'm getting an extra one for Onyxx to have in place of her infant sister. It's not about who or what. It's about loving the kids.
husband and I both got hugs and an "I love you" from Onyxx this morning. Wow.
Twilight Zone... Wonderland/Underland... Alternate reality... Yeah. It's weird. I always thought this was a strange situation.
