By golly gosh! SD came again. And everyone survived. 

Its been a really busy few weeks. 

1.) my job transitioned to care coordination. If you don’t know what that is-it’s okay. Just imagine something not simple-but doable made 10x more complicated and very very poorly planned. Thanks NYS. You rock. IMHO they made this move wayyyyyy prematurely-they weren’t ready and now we are all up shit creek. Yay. Good thing I’m practically a Shit Creek Tour Guide. 

it will be SS12’s 13th birthday in a few days. 

Of course this has BM1 in a MOTY uproar. She’s seen her child 2x this year TOTAL. 

She is over $3k behind on child support and license has been suspended. 

I will start with CS and then move into birthday because one won’t make sense without the other. In fact, none of it makes sense. 

I’m meeting up with a bunch of college friends this weekend in the Berkshires for some chillaxing since it’s going to rain all weekend. We had planned on kyacking and doing outdoor stuff (which I dislike-it’s not so much the activity or being outside I just have a strong fear of weird fish, snakes, bears, bees-you know the stuff that lives in the outdoors. 

So as most of you know,  a few months ago, SO and I took in my elderly FIL who is now 78. Over the last week, his mental status has declined serverely. To the point where a once loving and funny man, hates my stinking guts, and I am the one caring for him primarily. 

BM2 cared for her elderly grandmother who had alzheimer's up until her passing in January. At a total loss for what to do for my FIL and to help him get through these fits of rage at me without doing any harm, I reached out to her to see if she had any advice.
