I'm sorry for my absence today, but the DB board is now "blocked" where I work. I work for a financial services firm and they have a really finicky firewall, and every so often it gets updated and suddenly what was once OK, is not OK anymore.
I asked my boss if I was in trouble and he said not that he knew of, but then some of his frequent sites got blocked to.... And I can't exactly ask him to try to get my access to DB restored, when I should be working anyway. So, I guess I will just need to limit my time on the board to the evenings.
For those of you on the alt universe, please feel free to e-mail me. While I don't have access to FB at work either, I can get my e-mail, and if you leave me your direct e-mail address so I don't have to reply through FB, then I can get back to you during the day.
So, anyhoo. I do welcome all your advice! I am still feeling pretty depressed, and my S17 didn't go to school today again. His counselor called I had a talk with him about our sitch. He was very understanding and said he would do what he could to try to talk with S and encourage him. It appears that S just stayed home today. He is here now watching TV, but his eyes look clear and he seems like he's not high or anything. I still think that depression may be part of the problem too. He just doesn't seem motivated for anything at all......I can understand that feeling , but I am trying to set a good example for him.
D24 is coming over tonight, so I am going to just relax and watch a movie or two with my kids. I decided not to go over to the house tonight, because I am just not up to it. However, I do plan to go tomorrow and be up-beat, and PMA my a** off. By the way, it's my mom and step-dad that are going to be there. My step-dad works for H. So, I need to be there to make sure my Mom doesn't ambush H, and submarine my DB efforts more that I have myself!!
My plan for the C session with H next week is to listen to H with an open mind and validate IF he talks, and if he doesn't and it falls to me (as it usually does) I will use that time to discuss S17 and his issues.
