Need some dust for tomorrow...

Tiffany5412

Our attorney sent DSS's mom the order and she replied that she received it.  His email to her stated that she needs to respond by tomorrow at 5pm whether she was going to agree with it or whether we needed to take it before the judge.  Please send some dust that she signs and it's done.

We had a family session at DSS's therapist yesterday and we explained to him in child terms what's going on and were able to answer his questions about it and it went really well.  We basically told him that we are having a contract with his mom and that we're happy to be flexible with her on the dates she sees him but that by putting down dates she can see him we HOPE she'll be more consistent for him.  But we also explained to him that while having a contract with someone helps that we can't make anyone do anything.  We debated whether to tell him or not but we hated that every day he was wondering if his mom would call and want to see him. He even asked at one point if she was mad at him.  We explained that might not change but at least it's on paper and we can hope.  The therapist did a really good job facilitating it.  He's a very mature little guy.  He even suggested that when he's feeling upset about things with his mom that he journal to get things out.  I bought him a journal today.  We've always decided to be honest with him that we don't know what's going on with her without ever talking bad about her and I hope we're doing it right.  Ugh.  It would be great if there were a handbook to parenting.

Anyway -   if I could get some dust that she signs it as well as dust that she starts being consistent for DSS I'd appreciate it.

I can not begin to tell you how often you are in my thoughts.  My stomach is in knots for you and the thought of how stressful the next 24 hours is going to be for you both.  I am sending every postive thought/prayer/vibe/dust that I have your way that tomorrow will be the end of this journey and the begining of a new amazing life for your family.  And in the meantime, I'm sending a huge hug your way to get you through the next 24.  (((((hugs)))))

Thinking of you guys lots!  And hoping she will sign it and it will be DONE!

Ugh, how heartbreaking that B thought his mom might be mad at him :-(  Poor guy.  You guys are handling this amazingly well with him (even without a handbook ;-)

I really hope that she signs it and rebuilds her relationship with her son.  He's so lucky to have you and your DH watching out for him and making sure he understands what is going on and how it isn't his fault.

Dust for you guys.  What a strong little man!  I hope all goes easily and she signs it.

Lots of dust!

God bless awesome step-parents! What a difference it makes for a kid who might feel rejected by his lame bio-parent.

Ditto. You both seem to really be great parents to him. He's lucky to have parents that can talk with him rationally and want what's best for him.

Oh my gosh.  I've met your DSS once, and he is the sweetest kid!  I'm sorry he's having to deal with this and has these feelings about his mom.  And I'm so glad he has you and his dad to be a stable influence in his life.

 

Hugs.  I hope she signs.
