I don't even know why I'm upset and frustrated. H decided to come back and the kids want him back..but honestly I don't know if I do..I love him but I hate him..does that make any sense to anyone???? That is a situation of itself that I wouldn't even know where to begin.
It's beautiful sunshine outside and all I can think of is closing the curtains and laying down on the couch. I feel like a complete and utter baby throwing temper tantrums over everything..sigh..I have soo much I know I need to do..and here I sit at the computer..I guess maybe I'm hoping if I put my jumbled thoughts down I can get rid of the mood and be able to get moving..force myself to make the phone calls to the special ed dept..clean the house, search for a job..all of the stuff I know I need to do..OK..I've whined enough..Kelsey is screaming "out, out"..so I guess I'd better let her out of the high chair..((((((hugs)))))))) and again thank you for taking me under your wings everyone~~Liv

Stop!
Put Kelsey somewhere toddler-proof.
Hi, Liv!
I didn't do anything in the house yesterday..which means I'm playing catch up but at least I'm doing it in a reasonable mood((((hugs)))~~Liv
As far as the H situation..I really am not sure what I want out of that..I think it's something I really need to sit down and think about..as far as therapy..H wouldn't do that..according to him all of our problems are MY FAULT..lol...yeah right..I may cause some of them..but not all of them!
As far as the kids go my 6 yr old son is diagnosed with LD/ADHD/ODD/some sensory issues mainly vestibular and preciopal(sp?) and CAPD..so far..sigh and my 4 yr old daughter is diagnosed ADHD and LD and we will be doing some more testing as they are concerned she may have CAPD also. I used to CL the Special Ed, Sensory Integration Dysfunction, Dev Delays board and visited the other boards..I just got back online so I just started going back to the boards there a couple days ago.
As far as Parents Anonymous I haven't called there..I have one friend here in NY who child has disabilities also and she calls me when she feels like she's losing it and I call her when I feel like I'm going to lose it due to frustrations related to the kids (which usually coincide when I'm not doing well) ((hugs)) and thanks for the info~~Liv
Oh, (((((Liv))))), I am so glad you have a supportive friend!
Kevin has been in the special ed system since he was 3 he gets OT,PT,ST and counsling and Katlyn started in EI at the age of 1 1/2 and got therapies originally at home then we decided she needed to learn to function socially so she started in an integrated pre-k spec ed class she also gets ST,OT and PT and play therapy. I didn't mean H blames me for the kids' disabilities.I just meant any arguement or disagreement is my fault..in fact in regards to the kids he still thinks there is absolutely nothing wrong with them despite medical proof and testing. The services here for me have been very good..of course I'm the parent who tells them what services they are going to give my children rather then them telling me..lol..
Great big ((((((((((hugs))))))))))) to you and grandson and family! I truely understand all the challanges that both the children and the families go through whether it's something "mild" or "severe"..I will say that the one thing that I have learned from other families of children with challenges and more from the children themselves they can teach you more then you could ever learn from any school..ok..that's a whole other tangent that I could easily go off on..lol

My daughter and her husband have been fantastic since the initial shock, since they had no warning.
That's awesome! You know it's funny how many parents (especially moms) of children with disabilities end up going into the field of working with children with disabilities or their families!
I don't mind you asking I live just outside Buffalo..about a 10 minute drive into Canada..I'm way way up at the top of NY..lol
