No money for a lump sum, at least that X will admit to! Yoyo, I know they have the 60 days, but I don't think we ever requested it in writing. Numerous phone calls and meetings with everyone starting mid-August, but I didn't put it in writing or no written request has been made. Should I send a formal letter to D9's school requesting IEP as the evaluator recommended special ed or what do you recommend?
Started a day or 2 ago, to get majorly stressed about the upcoming D, one month from today, waking up in the night, plus financial stuff too. I'm trying to not eat my stress away, and have been working out a couple times a week, and did today also. I took D9 to her first soccer game today and she had fun. When she was goalie, she stopped a goal from the other team which was awesome! Lots of her friends are playing too, so that's a good thing.
I think X is getting stressed too. Has sent me 3 emails in the past half hour. First, to ask me when/why I stopped D9's therapy. Sent back I emailed him and told him I no longer had the funds and my L emailed his L requesting he help pay copays, and his answer was no. Then he emails me so you refuse to work enough to earn $25 a week for D9? I shouldn't have bothered but emailed back, not at all. The one job that agreed to hire me will start in Dec. or January, and I hope to be able to help with copayments at that point. Then he just emailed me back he can't believe I'm having D9 do soccer, I spent money on soccer shoes instead of her therapy, I'm spending extra money on gas for her activities, and keeping her from doing her schoolwork.
Well to be honest, when I signed her up I didn't realize I was going to have to buy soccer shoes, and the tshirt, socks, and shin guards were given to me by the church. I did spend $29 on soccer shoes for her when one of her friends was mentioning the shoes, and consequently I'm going to go in the red again this week. I'm not going to email him any of that though.
My guess is he's stressed too about the D, but just deals with it by turning the anger on me. Healthy...
I'm hoping he's not letting it affect his parenting of the kids this weekend. Hope they are ok, maybe I should call tomorrow am do you think? (he waited until after their bedtime to email me).
