[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 639752, member: 15796"] It is so tiring...sometimes it is a LOT. But I know I got to keep on keeping on. I have the papers signed and will be filing them at the courthouse this afternoon. I had a glimmer of hope when I saw her in jail but then she called the next day and one of the things she said when we talked about rehab was "look how well that worked out last time". Um, she never even gave it 30 days!! Let's take a look at how [I]not[/I] going to rehab has worked for her...ugh. She obviously needs more time to think. She honestly thinks she is going to get out after going to court and just get a job, finish community service, etc. I told her the first thing she needs to do is go to the homeless shelter so she can apply for benefits. Her response was that she is not going to a f'n homeless shelter. I reminded her that she is NOT coming here. Saturday night Connor decided at 3:30 in the morning that he didn't want to be sleeping in bed anymore. I was so exhausted on Sunday. She tried calling but I did not answer this time. I was not in the mood to talk to her and it certainly would not have been a pleasant conversation. She had me to help with Connor when she was here. I only have me. Sure grampa and uncle watch him so I can shower but that is not much of a break for me. Our lives have been taken away as we knew it and it is HER fault. I don't care what the excuse is (she says she was self medicating - uh huh). The fact is that I don't even sleep with my husband anymore because Connor has bad separation anxiety from all of this and we don't want to put him through too much trauma. We have a baby - ALL of the time except for when he is in daycare. So many little things I used to be able to do that I can't anymore. And I do resent her for it. All because she can't stay off the dope. But I look at that little face smiling at me and blowing everyone kisses and I KNOW we are doing the right thing. <3 It just gets overwhelming at times...
