I left my husband late in October. Things have been pretty hectic in my life. DEX has filed criminal charges against me (unfounded, dropped by prosecution), a motion for divorce that is filled with the most outrageous lies you have ever heard, called Children and Youth on me twice (they have been here, and are welcome back anytime. They can't find any problems and have closed the case twice), called the state police to "check and make sure I haven't done anything to the kids" (they were fine), and has filed harassment charges against my father (who has never even called or spoked to DEX).
This is why I have been too busy to log on.
I was expecting a difficult adjustment for JK. Not only did we leave DEX, but we moved to a different state, whole new school, new neighbors, you get the picture. JK does not usually do well with NEW.
I am amazed!!!! JK has been steadily gaining weight, stopped biting his nails, has only had two "fits" since we left, smiles, laughs, gives hugs and kisses to family members (we moved by my parents and sister), he was well adjusted to his new school by the end of the first week, he has been making friends, the school has absolutely no complaints about his behavior, and his teacher finds him a pleasure to have in class.
Who is this kid???? Did I take the wrong one when I moved?
JK is worried about things though. He worries did someone forget to lock the door at night? This has been persistant. He wants to know why he lives with me and not Dad and what is to keep dad from not giving him back after a visit. What is a judge? What if she changes her mind about who JK can live with? He wants to know why JD (6 y/o cousin, we live with JD and my sister) can't come with him to Dad's when he goes to visit.
I am trying to find him a therapist (new state, new insurance, you get the picture) but I am finding this to be a little more difficult then it was in the past.
