Calling out the Piecers

[dday101798]

Ugggh,

Parenting and the joys there in. Got a lovely call yeserday afternoon from the village police that S12 has been picked up once again for hanging around the train station, this time bought a ticket. I guess common decency sunk into the attendant and she called the police after realizing "crap, I shouldn't have sold that kid a ticket".

Of course they couldn't get a hold of (x)W, so I had to go and save the day.

I don't know. His goal was to "run-away" again. Soooo, I picked up (x)W after I collected S12. Never really got a definative answer from him as to what the deal was. I spoke with (x)W and suggested my feeling that I believe that he did it because he's upset about being in 'our house' where he was supposed to be. And also verified with her if the kids were ok with everything between us, especially S12 since I was kicked to the curb, OM was injected in his life, and then OM was kicked to the curb, and here I am again. She agreed, reluctantly, but agreed.

My cousin and I went out to dinner last night and watched the football game and I received another of her motherly speeches and outside observation. I made mention of the above thought and that (x)W says the boys are "estatic" about the prospects of us all being together again. Hmm, well, I know S11 has been open with my cousin, and voiced his displeasure of (x)W when things were bad, and currently does not give her the impression he's "estatic".

I mean, I have been going about this whole piecing thing in a way that has minimal impact on the kids. Other than more frequent dinners together and me picking her up a few times and the holiday shopping trips, it's been pretty low key in front of them.

I don't know. Kind of in a low right thinking that OM had that much of an impact on either of them, when he shouldn't have.

Now to top it off I have to look up a place to have my cat euthinized after not even seeing her for the past year and nobody's been taking care of her.

(x)W has also been not very communcative this morning, so foot that into a state of flux and I'm just really, really at one of those, "man, what are we doing? IS this right? IS this going to work? IS she for real?".

I don't know, need to do something encouraging today.
