A little this...a little that

[Guest guest]

Thank you for your responses to my questions about working parents. I guess I

will just have to wait and see...

I'm so afraid of being let down on Wednesday when we go in for Jessika's first

appointment. I'm afraid I'm hoping for a " cure " the same day, that we'll go home

and everything will be fine. I need to steel myself because I know the near

future is not going to be easy. It's going to be hell, I'm pretty sure of that.

I feel on the urge of a breakdown, but I am keeping myself together. Jessika's

father and I divorced in April. She and her brother live with him every other

week. I'm trying to keep him posted on everything, so that he doesn't lose his

temper with her. All he keeps saying is we have to wait to see what the doctor

says. He's using his old tactics of discipline. And those just don't work.

She finally went to school this morning after calling me 20 times to complain

about a " sore-throat " . But 5 minutes later her teacher called. I asked her to

try to keep Jessika in class, but if she starts disrupting then call me and I

will come get her. I'm glad I have a meeting with Jessika's teacher on Friday,

then I will be able to catch her up on everything the doctor said.

OK, thanks for reading...I really need to get this out of me and I hope it's

ok if I do it here.

Hugs to everyone!
