To all of my regular readers: I’m sorry. I don’t think I’ve ever gone a whole month without posting before.
I am now the owner of a house–a bit on the small side for someone with as many kids as I have, but on a large-ish lot. And yes, I did move in before I closed on it. (Long story.)
I am also now the owner of a cat. WoeGirl had a cat she couldn’t take care of, and I’d been thinking of getting a cat anyway.
My divorce was final months ago but there are still, uh, interesting issues to be hashed out with the ex. I will spare you the gory details.
Also, I discovered that once you get out of a bad situation, it is not gone. I’ve been having panic attacks/PTSD associated with my past treatment by my ex. Yay! The school counselor finally accepted the fact that my case was way over her head and referred me to a trauma recovery specialist. Naturally, there’s a fair amount of introductory stuff associated with switching therapists so we haven’t got around to the ‘good stuff’ yet, but hopefully I will be back to normal coping soon.
Blah. I’ll try to be better about updating in the future.
panic attacks SUCK. you have my sympathies.
