Another happy post...I figure we need them thrown in here to give hope!
I can't even call her a difficult child anymore. Two and a half months - I am daring to accept that this is life now and I have stopped waiting for the other shoe to drop.
She was catching up on the days to be thankful on Facebook and here is what she posted:
day 1: Im thankful for my parents being so supportive, and having faith in me.
day 2: Im thankful for going to jail, I would have never changed if it wasnt for having Connor in the hospital and having to leave him and go back to jail.
crazy huh?
day 3: Im thankful for reconnecting with my babes. And him being so awesome.
day 4: Im thankful to be alive
day 5: Im thankful to wake up seeing his... face every morning.
day 6: Im thankful for knowing what true love finally is.
day 7: Im thankful for the friends I have that believe in me.
day 8: Im thankful for Ben for getting me a job
day 9: Im thankful to be free and get to spend time with my baby boy
day 10: Im thankful to have a job, so now I can support connor and give my parents a break. lol
day 11: Im thankful for all the veterans and everyone who has does and will serve our country. may god be with each and everyone of you.
day 12: Im thankful for knowing our higher power.
day 13: Im thankful to be able to go outside and breathe in the fresh air.
She is still dating the police officer but things have kind of gone downhill since they made their relationship "official". He is acting very insecure and that is a complete turnoff to her. I can't blame her - I am the same way. He really needs to chill out or they are not going to last.
She didn't get many hours at work this week and she was really bummed about that. Turns out there is a girl that lives with the manager that does the scheduling. This girl had a crush on difficult child's friend that got her the job. She made sure the guy got a bunch of hours and then scheduled difficult child for two nights ensuring her and the guy wouldn't work together. Well, the girl went on a dinner date with difficult child's friend and they found that they have nothing in common. Guy also told her that difficult child was a friend only and that he was not about all the drama that this girl was bringing. SO, hopefully that situation is resolved and she will get more hours next week. I told her to be the bigger person and to kill her with kindness.
Connor is just growing so much already. He is such a happy baby. He is always smiling, cooing and laughing. She is so lucky. We all are. This little man has brought so much joy, love and light into our lives. I am SO thankful for him. SO blessed. We all just love him so much.
I still have PTSD, though. If I have to go into the office and husband comes home before me, I swear I wait for the dreadful phone call from him complaining about what difficult child is doing. And then I come home and everyone is gathered in the living room smiling and laughing...I wonder if that feeling ever goes away...maybe someday...
