hi!
so it was difficult child's birthday yesterday. yup she's 12 now. night before she wasn't able to sleep, she got very revved up about it. as she does each year
the day of she was aggitated, anxious, on top of me most of the day. husband and i did take her to breakfast together. than i had to go home and begin cooking for my family to come.
she asked at least 100 x when are they coming. they were supposed to go on road by 2, so she sat near window waiting to see their car. yes cute. yet in between hassled us for her gift. so she got her gift before it even got wrapped just to get her off us.
than they were late hit traffic and she couldnt' cope with that. this went on all day long. they showed up she didnt' know how to act, as usual. kept clinging to me.
my parents sat talking to my other kids, step kids. she didn't like that at all. my yes wonderful mom and my stepfather who i adore pulled me out side and said to me listen we didnt' want to say anything yet you look horrible. you dont' look like you at all. you always manage to look well thru all this.
they said we know you have marriage issues work on them! yet difficult child is eating you alive. you have no outlets you have to make some changes and quick. she's way too much, just look in the mirror.
so she difficult child continued to be her irritating self throughout the night. pulling me aside or trying to thru course of night to tell me she was upset. she said no one's talking to me, why'd they come here? their talking to everyone else. i tried to explain what family things are like. she's been thru them before.
yet seems liike older she gets her perceptions are becoming more challenging instead of easier. hearing my parents say that about me kinda freaked me out. they never pull me aside trust me NEVER.
i told them hey it's two hospitalizations, etc. a marriage in trouble easy child. what do you expect? they said oh no you look horrible though drawn, tired beat up.
my answer to them she's my kid what am i supposed to do? and what am i supposed to do? seriously......
