I have really been struggling today. Not with David, but with staying awake. My body tells me when I need to sleep, and some days it needs more than others. The numbness that has affected the left side of my face is on with full force today. Even felt dizzy for a while. The doctor’s all assure me that I have not had any strokes, yet they are not able to tell me what is causing it either. Very frustrating. Tweet #fighting4answrs
“hello,” said a little voice plaintively. “Hi, David! How is your visit going at respite?” I asked him. “I have bad news,” he replied solemnly. “I got in trouble.” “respite mom told me I had to tell you what I did,” he continued quietly. “What is it buddy, do I have to come and get you?” I asked. “I don’t know, when I get done, respite mom wants to talk to you,” he replied. “ok,” I whispered, “what did you do?” “I stole a lighter.” he replied apprehensively. “oh?” I asked with dread in my heart. “Tell your dad what else you did, ” I heard respite mom say in the background. “I got caught smoking.” he said quietly. What followed was a brief conversation with respite mom about how they handled the situation. He evidently stole the lighter at our house, and stole the cigarettes at their house. Since
David spent the night with his respite family. It is so peaceful here right now. No fights, no thefts, no arguments. Should I feel guilty that I am enjoying the quiet? Tweet #fighting4answrs
