I have made several requests to have the children maintain the counseling that was started years ago. Of course, Dick believes only people with severe problems go to counseling... and what seems funny, the Mom with my D fears that she will be told she wouldn't be a good choice to have D with her, or that D belongs at home, so she won't take D, while the people who have S, are just as afraid to go. I guess people don't truly understand counseling.... Counseling isn't for the weak, but for the strong. Let's face it, we all have our quirks, they have come from living... counseling helps one learn to live with are ourselves and others better.
As for me, giving the children a safe place to talk, vent, express themselves along with being given ideas to help them, or be given ways of being a better parent for them or to them, is ideal for our situation. I can't wait to start it up again. Making sure the kids have the appropriate care is just the thing I need, I will feel useful again.
S hasn't been to a dentist in over two years now, neither have had their teeth cleaned in over a year... D needs the Gardisil shot, and both need their sports physicals too. It will be nice to be able to get these things done.
Needles to say, I'm focused on the future.... yet, I need to remember to live in today also.
