I had a hard time falling asleep last night. Then DD woke me up TWICE last night which she usually doesn't do. And I had a hard time falling asleep after she woke me up. I just want a nap right now.
Speaking from personal experience, It's hard to give up the fantasy that her dad will magically just show up and start acting like a dad.
Yeah, I'm sure that's part of it as well. And he's been pretty civil, via text, so maybe she thinks it's all blown over. Ugh, I just hate to think of her being back in that situation again.
I'm anxious about this for both of you. As adults, we know that this is going to wind up where it always does. I just want to kick him in the nuts and tell him to step up or stay the hell away from her!

Oh and also, DD's dad changed jobs and has apparently neglected to notify child support services of that. He likes to play this game to give him "child support free time". Now is not a good time for him to be doing this to me. Bastard. Ugh. I'm feeling the effects of not getting the small amount that I normally get from him.
I want to cut my tongue off. If I eat or drink a lot of super sugary things in a short period of time, I tend to get inflammed tastebuds. They are these small white bumps on the tip of my tongue that hurt like a mofo. I drank way to much lemonade last week and I am paying for it now. uugghh!

doglove If you're serious about coming to PA I'm sure chalupa and I would be up for a road trip. We could come get you if you needed a break and can take the time from work.
if you can not make it through this alone...you do what you have to
I just don't want to go back on meds to be numbed out after I have spent almost 8 weeks going through withdrawal symptoms to get them out of my system.
you don't need to go on the same meds...just something to take when you need it

not long term or perm
I'm with mags. It doesn't have to be something you use all the time, just when things get overwhelming (like right now). It may ease your symptoms enough that you'll be able to eat without feeling sick and maybe get a little more rest.

I have to agree with mags. I am by no means a Dr but I think something short term/as needed might be very helpful to you on these tough days. (Not that every day is tough but some days will be harder than others.)

GAH! The jerk customer just informed me that he is rescheduling our meeting to 6 pm tonight. Grrrrr. This means I have to stay at work late and I'm going to miss happy hour!

DD talked to me about it tonight (she brought it up...she didn't know I knew). She said she decided to take back her offer to visit because she didn't think it would go very well. She emailed him to tell him (prior to us talking) and he actually responded in a pretty respectful way. I commended her for handling herself maturely and made sure to tell her I'm glad her dad is respecting her wishes.
