Mom? What's a difficult child?
Well part of the reason I have not posted was to keep my sanity... My inlaws were with us in Tucson!
I felt like if I posted or even opened up my computer I would start venting... and I would not hold it together!!!
Actually husband said he thinks my medications are working because I was "nice" to mother in law and father in law and I didn't strangle mother in law after her very, ummm, interesting things she did and said.
Well husband and I took one! Afternoon off, to purchase a bag, our bag broke. Luggage!
We were gone about 3 hours... he gave instructions, it was in the 90's, only outside in the pool 45 minutes, LOTS of sunscreen. You know all of that stuff... He went over it 3 times... "OK J I got it!"... (mother in law)
We came home to little N, covered in red sunburn... by nighttime. She was shaking, her arms and legs covered in red rash like sunburn... I had to give her Ibuprofin and hold her all night.
husband had to have a very harsh talk with his parents... Even K had sunburn on her cheeks and shoulders.
They let them stay out for 2 + hours... OK
So then mother in law, told a story one night, about husband's Father's wife. So husband's Stepmom, who has Mental Illness, basically barely leaves the house, will not fly, never has... Has embraced conservative religion, which gives her comfort. husband's Mom, although she is the one that left husband's Dad, seems to still hold a flame for him.
So mother in law showed up at husband's half-sister's Mom's funeral... Sorry! Are you with me? THis was husband's Dad's First wife, he has had I believe 5!!! mother in law was number 2...
So she felt the NEED to go to this funeral...
Anyway, she had really no reason to go, but proceeded to talk trash about husband's Step-Mom, she was telling us at dinner, that StepMom was "Schizo" and talking to herself at the funeral... that she was "crazy"
She kept going on, and on.
I had to just bite my tongue, I wanted to scream at her,"Do you not realize your Grand-Daughter, talks to herself and Hallucinates?" "Do you not realize how horrible it is to call someone with mental illness 'schizo'?"
"Do you realize I am Bipolar and considered 'crazy' and have been locked up?"
But you "respect" me because you do not realize all of this and are in denial, and my medications are working???
husband's poor Step-Mom was quoting the Bible,(now I am not Religious) but she finds comfort, and it has helped her, she was at a church, at a funeral. She was speaking to God... and even I could see that it helps her. She doesn't hurt anyone with her religion.
I am just amazed at people at times...
husband believes that with time and as they spend more times with K and N... they will get it. I hope so.
They are nice people, but they are, well I think my words kind of tell the story. She did this last time also with her sister, telling me she was crazy, and all people are crazy and to just "deal with it". Her sister was having panic attacks...
Anyway my baby N turned 4 yesterday.... N seems more Autistic like every day... she is so sweet and funny though. We got her into, I think, a pretty good public pre-school.
I will post over in general about K...
Sorry, I have missed all of you... so much going on...
