Day 165…
I believe the dog is trying to kill me, since Christmas day, I have landed on the fucking ground everyday. My ass has an array of bruises! She does this stupid jump and bang I’m on the floor.
I’m here clean and sober.
Keep pushing through you lovely lot!

Thanks. Yeah he’s not accepting of it. He wants to work it out, but it’s purely to his benefit. He knows how good he has it. I’m the primary worker, pay all the bills, bought the house, take care of our son, pay for his school, I’ve been also going back to school - all while he’s been “job searching” for 5 years. I literally can’t take it anymore. So if I’m doing all of it I might as well be doing it alone with a chance to find happiness… but sobriety and my son are paramount as we forge this new path.

Day 26. I have come for a party (one of those which cannot be avoided). There’s a lot of alcohol. I brought my own alcohol free beer. I’ve been telling people that I have health problems and I cannot drink. If puahed for details, I tell them that I have liver and pancreas problems and I am on medication. So far so good. Getting tempted but I have to do this. I will make an excuse and leave the party, if the urge gets too strong.

Day 129: It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood…NOT. So super grey out, as we have a winter weather warning for later today. I would be pleased if we got some snow, though! But it might start with a mix of precipitation…so I’m keeping this short and sweet as I need to get Miss Lupe out and around before nasty weather hits.
Doing just okay right now.
@Nordique huge felicidades on your 7 months! You’ve been a consistent presence on TS and such a supportive energy. Thank you for being here.
Edit to show you my project from yesterday - I realized I didn’t have any photos of Chucho up in my home, so I bought photo paper and printed out a bunch. I also bought frames for the portrait sketches I had commissioned of my pups a few years ago. Now, when I sit in my living room or walk down my hallway I see his beautiful face and it warms my heart.

Quick update
I just had a revaluation. I was talking to my therapist about tweenie and all the chaos. And that we’ll probably get some help Tuesday. It’s a friend of mine and we talk often anyway, but this time he almost got upset and said that he thinks tweenie might be bipolar. Because all the things she does and how she acts (we’ve heard her nighttime talking to herself in her room for example) is on the symptoms list. And a lot of people with adhd also has it. I’m in no doubt about her adhd diagnosis but I strongly doubt the other ones. So I’ve been wishing for a new evaluation for a long time. If he’s right, she’s not even getting the right meds, and it’s the child psychiatric hospital who’s in charge NOT the social service.
So I might have been barking up the wrong tree today you guys.
I’m still going to the meeting Tuesday, because there’s a chance the social service is in charge of behavior therapy. But I’m definitely going to contact the kids psychiatric hospital again and ask them to look at it.
I know it’s unusual to make a bipolar diagnosis when you’re that young. But I honestly think my psychiatric might be right, someone has given her the diagnosis of schizophrenia in the past and that’s something you can’t diagnose for sure when you’re under 20.
She clearly has a lot of issues, and we need help. But I want the right kind od help for the right things here.
And I’m sick and tired of being a Karen about everything.
