So, got home to kids, sat and talked with D for an hour. She had a really hard morning. Poor babe hates school; asked if she could stay home and be homeschooled. She couldn't think of one thing to look forward to over the course of a whole day.
She is so afraid of getting yelled at. If a teacher yells at a student, or even the class as a whole. Brynne feels responsible, and bad. She has always tried to be good, and has often been commended for it and her quietness, her helpfulness to other kids, by all of her teachers. My heart broke for her this morning.
And x, he just says that she is tough. I wonder if he knows this little one at all, the one who always seems to "go with the flow" on the surface.
I spoke with the IC today. She wants me to call a meeting for D's teachers and maybe the guidance counselor right away. She said that I am aware, that I can see what most parents can't, or won't.
She also told me that she spoke with the kids' IC during the week. Their IC was mortified that I was unaware of the kids' appt last week, and that it was at the same time as my appt. She had no idea I was in the very next room, wondering what the he!! was going on. My IC went on to tell her some of the other passive-aggressive moves that x has pulled, so she can be a better IC to my kids.
My IC asked what I wanted to do about what had happened with the appt. I told her I am just going to ignore it. x stayed in the appt with both kids just about the whole time; in fact, I think he even sat with the IC alone for a little while. It might do him some good. And I can make appts for the kids on my own, where I let them go and talk with her alone, where they can really get things out and feel safe. I'll call tomorrow and set up an appt for each of the kids, since both acted out this past week (probably due to me not being at the wedding, the first major family gathering of everyone).
Then, we talked about the email. OT, she agreed with you about Monika and her intentions / motivations. And that it serves as a reminder that she is still dangerous, not to be trusted, a manipulator. Mike, she laughed at your suggestion to dip the suit in some dump-water!
I'm going to ignore that one, too. IC said, how will it look to x when he gets wind of his gf writing nasty emails to me, and I didn't go running to complain to him about it? That's if he ever finds out; I don't plan on talking about it to anyone who would pass it along. It is just so ridiculous. What a sad, pathetic looser.
I said something else in session today. I was secure in my R & M for more than 20 years. She will NEVER feel secure in theirs!!! How could she possibly? They deserve each other...
I heard AC/DC on the way home from work today: Back in Black.
I cranked it up as loud as I could stand it and sang along, with the wind in my hair and a smile on
