Jungleland
Welcome to my jungle!
Very strange living with just one child and no spouse. Jayme is soooo much calmer, less moody, just a happier kiddo.
Aly continues to have issues at school, lots of tears, needing LOTS of time with various and sundry of school staff. The story of how my hand was broke has changed each time she has told it. Stack of books fell on it. The bed mattress fell on it. When i was trying to grab her, I grabbed her too hard and broke my own arm...yada yada yada, you get the picture.
husband (hard to put the D there right now) is the President of Putting Head in Sand. If he just takes her out to dinner every night, buys her new crayons or new cds or new whatever, she is one happy camper. Just wondering when he will feel enough is enough?!?!?!? I have several calls into Aly's Crisis team manager, we are playing phone tag. UGH! I have serious concerns over husband's lack of
worry about what should be done right now to help Aly in the future. He feels we would be "throwing her into the system" by putting her in a treatment center. I left a message to Crisis team manager stating how concerned I am about his lack there of!
Jayme and I are settled into our own apartment, the very next complex from my oldest daughter, so we get lots of support, thankfully!! It is awfully nice knowing I have someone to call and will be here in 2 minutes if I need them. We are having major money issues, couldn't get through to the people who can help me set up some financial aide, etc today, hopefully on monday.
My arm is killing me, will probably go to the quicky serve medication clinic tomorrow but did set up an appointment to get established with a "real" doctor next week. I know I might need surgery on my arm, I can't grasp anything with my right arm and typing is killing me. Driving is very difficult, so I am doing as little as possible. But, I need medi-cal or some sort of other medical financial help immediately.
No idea what will happen, taking life one hour at a time these days. I am prepared to single parent Jayme for as long as needed if not forever. Sad enough to type, let alone think about.
Anyways, gotta get icing my arm and then get the dang air cast back on and try to sleep in the contraption.
Thank you all who sent private messages, I really appreciate it. I am praying more now than ever before in my life.
I will try to keep in touch. Best wishes to those who need them. I miss you all!
Hugs and love,
Vickie

You keep hanging in there....things are going to fall into place for you. I too would be concerned about "D"h's (I actually never liked using the D to describe ex because he is not my darling or my dear - that's why I call him bonehead instead 
) inablity to see that Aly needs more than "stuff" and love to get through life. Heck, how many of our difficult children would be easy child's if love was all there was to it?
