Sometimes...

I'm tired of being so damn strong all the time.

And you don't have to be.  I have always been incredibly strong, but approaching this new chapter of my life, while exciting, it is also scary especially since I am doing this all alone and the father is no where in the picture (It is better this way), I have felt less than the strong woman I have always been.

The important thing is to let yourself feel.  If you need some time to let it out, do it.  It is best for baby (and you) that you not keep your emotions bottled up; release them and then do your best to move past it.  Your baby needs you to be positive and happy.  Give yourself a rest; you deserve it and baby does too.

 

Best of luck to you!  Hang in there!

I hope everything is going to be ok. ((Hugs))

And you don't have to be strong all of the time. Everyone has their moments where they have to let someone else take care of them.

That's ok, you don't have to be all the time.  ((HUGS))

I had a bad week last week.

I hate bullies.  I found out my son was being bullied in school.  16 children knew about it, 1 said something to the teacher.  Finally, my son is getting some relief.  He's in 5th grade.  I'm finally realizing and getting my H on board that I believe he has Asperger's.  So I'm groping in the dark as to where to go next.

My DD had a huge backslide in therapy.  As most remember, my DD is in therapy b/c of abandonment and trust issues that caused a major depression b/c of her bio-father.  She handled things well enough but was trying to work them out in therapy but things aren't back to normal yet.

My H and I are looking into my H adopting the children.  Which is something they both REALLY want, but it comes down to money.

Money shouldn't be hard.  According to all the calculators in the world.  We are both living within our means and should have money left over.  AND YET WE DON'T.

You would think after all my years of being a single mom, I would happily give some responsiblity over to my H, my partner.  NO.  I'm still trying to muddle it all through on my own.

Allergies, colds, H being diagnosed prediabetes, complete diet overhaul, I've lost 11 lbs. He's lost 4.  Being EVERYONE's Food police.  They all look at me about what can they eat.  I'm tired!

I'm tired of being an advocate.  I'm tired of controling it all.  I'm tired of still getting twinges of being angry at my ex who could so easily walk away from the children, leaving a path of destruction and wreckage and play daddy of the year to his GF's kids, who's dads are either strung out and disappeared or in prision.  I tired that it upsets me at all.  When I look at my life I'm actually happy with it and my kids overall are happier and doing better. 

I think I'm just exhausted.

Sweetie, I am really sorry you are dealing with everything at once especially your son being bullied. I am a special ed teacher in Philly at a 5-8 school and kids are so mean at that age. I'm glad the one student said something but the others and their parents should be ashamed.

Have you requested that the school test him? Once you put it in writing they have 60 calendar days to test him. If he is diagnosed with Asperger's he would be eligible for an IEP.
