Crazy week
So, SD had her baby shower this weekend, it was beautifully done and very nice. I ended up going with a playpen combo that has a changing table and bassinet. She and fiance are leaving next week for out of state. Apparently, all the Medicaid was transferred and approved (so they say). Still upset they are leaving, but it is decided and hopefully, it works out well for her.
We had yet another crisis with my older son, so had the crisis unit and sheriff deputy over yesterday. They didn't have enough criteria to 1013/admit him but they did make him sign a promissory note to start therapy asap. We all talked a long time, the deputy was absolutely amazing. The good news is they did call him back from a job interview, he's supposed to start this week. He was also warned that I will be calling the sheriff EVERY time he becomes destructive or verbally abusive (also slamming doors/cabinets, etc) and that it will create a paper trail and make it to where he either gets arrested or 1013'd into treatment. He's been much better since his last outpatient long treatment but started going down hill some weeks ago again and then this weekend all exploded out of control. They also told him in front of me that if he does NOT follow stipulations of therapy and job, I will start the formal eviction process and he will then have to go to a shelter, which is a 50/50 chance he can get himself together or go way downhill.
He made the call to the therapist to set that up as well. They also told me to no longer buy his 'wants' (cbd and vapes) - the only reason I have is because he then escalates his behavior and makes it HELL in the home if he doesn't have it- so now they told me in front of him, I won't do it anymore and that if he tantrums that i will call them EACH and everytime. Creating a strong paper trail and evidence for another commitment. I think he took it all seriously and has a better grasp. The deputy told him your mom is 100percent DONE and she WILL kick you to the street, get it together or I will escort you out myself.
DH had already said he was going to be spending time at my MIL's if things continued as they were here (don't blame him)- and who knows, it may still go that way even if my son gets better just based on OUR relationship issues.
Feeling exhausted and sick of it all. STILL no good job responses. I sent two that were a VERY good work for my skills and nothing. Even though I also KNEW people that worked in that dept. VERY discouraged and upset, broke financially, broke emotionally. Life just has been very unkind.

Thank you all! I got a lead!
Thank you all! I got a lead! Finally! I message an old friend of mine, we used to work at my same company years ago. During one re-organization but him and I (and dozens of others) were let go. I was able to find another job at my company and he went another way. During my time in that role I had the BEST time (sales)- he was my work husband (he was happily married and I was happily divorced lol) we were like peanut butter and jelly lol. We kept in touch periodically as he worked for another company (same industry). He has no FB like my husband. Anyways- I reached out to him on LinkedIn and he gave me a lead for a job he just turned down but is friends w/the hiring manager of this other company (same industry again). I wanted to get away from this side of business BUT it's a job, pay is lower then I wanted as well and what I was making but between DH and I working I would be ok.
Until something more promising comes my way -given our situation I would definitely take it. He put me in touch w/the hiring manager, the guy said I'll likely hear from their HR tomorrow to set up an interview. I swear, they talk about all these jobs and it ALWAYS ends up boiling down to 'who you know'. Keeping fingers crossed here.
Happy for you!
Keep us posted! Crossing my fingers!
Good luck
We'll all be sending good vibes your way. Let us know how it goes.
