Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 Hi Iris, Sorry this is so late! CONGRATULATIONS!!! On your hubby finding a new job, that’s fantastic, you must be so relieved! I feel back to normal today, no more pity potty LOL! It would be difficult for me to discuss this behavior with my boss as it’s a small office (30 people) and it would be hard to work with them afterwards. When I feel strong I’m much more capable of sticking up for myself and don’t usually let these things get to me but it was a really bad day and I’m full of hormones from these injections. The support here has been amazing and really helped me. Thanks for your kind words from an earlier mail too, I know my husband would never hurt me intentionally, this is hard for him too. Thanks for reminding me not to just assume he knows what I mean and to tell him, I really believe on working on a marriage and try to keep the communication flowing but sometimes need reminding! I feel for your daughter, I suffered from aggressive depression a few years ago after my mother died. It’s not a pretty sight and very hard for those around you. My husband was my boyfriend then and helped me to see that I needed therapy and drugs to help myself and him deal with tit. He’s a great guy really and has been through so much with me. Thank goodness it has been dealt with now but when I get depressed now (which is very rare) that is what I get like and it can be scary. I will keep your daughter in my prayers. I hope you are feeling well and finding some great ideas for a new career.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 Dear Heidi...It is good to hear you posting; we missed you! Thank you so very much for your kind words, prayers and concern. It is so wonderful...my husband has come home everyday telling me how he loves his new job and how well he is doing. He seems to have completely won everyone over from the big boss to his new co-workers. After being in the school district for over 15 years he has a wonderful raport with the children he is taking photos of. Little kids and animals all love him because he is so kind. His being a musician who toured for so many years made him a natural at putting up and tearing down his photography equipment and he appears to be a natural photographer. The 8 months of agony while looking for a new position has been worth seeing him so happy now. Do you have any thoughts on how I could help my daughter? I'm glad to hear that your husband was able to help you because I am sure that it managed to strengthen your bond. She has moved to her father's to provide her with a little cool-down time before she has to go to court. As long as she is taking her meds and attending counseling they will probably give her some community service which I think is always a good idea to remind her that the world isn't all about herself. She has been a very challenging child to raise but I know that in the end she will learn to handle her anger and she will be a successful adult; I just don't know how I'm going to be able to hold it all together before then. Both children started school on Thursday. I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed the quiet. Since I have always worked outside the home, I can't remember the last time I was alone. Lauryn is in the 10th and Ian is in the 7th. I hope that you don't have to take those hormones for too long of a time as I know it is probably very hard to have your emotions on a see-saw. I remember how it felt when I had to begin hormones after my hysterectomy; it was rough getting them dialed in. I wish you great success!
