First off, my dad has been sick for awhile. Not being able to digest certain things, a lot of pain. He was first diagnosed with diverticulitis but most medication isn't helping. He's gone through a bunch of tests, had a colonoscopy, etc. They couldn't see anything. He called me yesterday, very serious, and left a voicemail saying he wanted to talk to me about a few things. I knew he had a doctor's appointment this week so I immediately got nervous. When I called him back he first said that he has a pouch of something in his pelvic area, and it's gotten bigger recently, and he was concerned he had cancer. Then he went to the doctor and it turns out it was a hernia. It might not be the source of his pain, but it could be. So he's getting it taken care of soon and I am so relieved that none of my parents have cancer. I couldn't breathe for awhile after that phone call. I can't picture a world without my dad. It just got to me.
Also, I went to therapy yesterday and we are FINALLY moving on with emdr. We haven't done it in a long time because I have been a wreck and just needed to get through each day. Now that I'm feeling a lot better we can actually, you know, do therapy stuff. She also brought up an interesting theory that my inner child is rebelling because there's a lot of stuff I haven't gotten over as a kid, so I'm "rebelling" as an adult - mainly by overeating. It was a lightbulb moment.
Kid openly admitted she snuck out to make out with a boy. Who then pressured her to give him a bj. She reports she didn't want to and made him drive her home and then he told her he doesn't want anything to do with her anymore. We have a very long talk last night and went through every app on her phone.
omg im speechless at the moment!!!

DS1 had a great day at school today. He's making friends ( he was saying the other kids didn't want to be his friend on Monday). AND one kid laughed at him, he said "I got angry but I didn't punch anyone. I calmed myself down and was okay". I asked him how he calmed down, he said " I took a deep breath in and let it out". When I asked him who taught him that, he said " you did". I praised the shit out of him because his usual MO is to hit, scream, or throw stuff. I was hoping school would have a positive impact on him.
