Hi all,
Been such a long while...husband is a computer engineer Mr Fix it all and yet when my computer harddrive crashed it then took forever for him to get around to replace/downloading software, etc to get me up and running again, lol.
But I'm SO GLAD to be back!
First...Baby Jordyn (daughter in law and young difficult child's third child) will be born a week from today...May 15th by c-section. I will be in the delivery room with daughter in law this time in lieu of young difficult child being in prison. I am so excited...this will be my 4th grandchild. Oldest difficult child and his wife are expecting their second daughter 3rd week of May. I will not likely attend oldest difficult child's baby's birth as they don't want much to do with me. Oldest difficult child has made it clear that he does not want my mental illness issues (Bipolar) "crazy" around his daughters. Plus I go to the casino and smoke...triple whammy! I'm so bad, lol.
Anyway....First the good news. The "Reckless Child Endangerment" charge for young difficult child hitting the windshield of daughter in law's car with his fist last summer, got dismissed! We are so very glad about that...However, it was that arrest that lead to "braking probation" and resulted in him going to prison.
So literally, he is now in prison for spitting at police...As that was the reason he was on probation to begin with.
The bad news...Young difficult child got into a fight last week in prison. Apparently he had given 2 soups to another inmate that did not return the favor. When young difficult child confronted the person (of another race) a fight ensued. I cannot believe he would fight over food...so very sad. Wish young difficult child would get some self control as this is costing him.
He will not be able to see Me, daughter in law, or his new baby for at least a month...He also can no longer make phone calls to daughter in law for a month.
daughter in law and I did go visit young difficult child in prison 2 weekends ago. He was pale and has put on alittle weight (which he needed) but otherwise looked good. He did talk of some of the other inmates and why they are in there. He explained that he is in a 50 man pod, that he does not watch much TV, that he is a janitor there. He seemed to be glad that he was inside working rather than outside. Though he did say that they don't have air conditioning in the prison and I know it will be hot as hades this summer!
Not sure when his first parole board hearing will be...daughter in law thought it was going to happen several weeks ago but then it did not...maybe in the next few weeks. Young difficult child had been really looking forward to the hearing but now that he's gotten into this fight and has been written up I don't know how that will affect his chances for early release. As you all may recall he's been sentenced to 3yrs in prison.
I had hoped that without alcohol or pain medications young difficult child would have a clear head and be thinking before acting...but he still has some things to learn apparently.
Life here at home is good. Celebrated easy child's 20th birthday early (this past Sunday) as easy child's birthday is May 10th and she is in her second yr of college til end of next week. 3 A's and a B. Not bad for our easy child...I am so very proud of her.
Have missed you all.
