Speaking of doing for myself. The old TV & cable weren't doing so good, so I splurged and bought a new TV, HD, and have got the DVD player hooked up and new cable company so it's pretty sweet. I've hit up the sales the last week and bought some clothes for me & some clothes for S16 who's on his first away from home trip; the high school youth group is at a retreat in Montreat, NC.
D10 is almost off her meds and has had some rough times. She's gone down from 4 pills a day to 1 now. Yesterday when she couldn't go on the trip with her brother (she's not old enough, nor could I have afforded both of them to go!) she freaked out. She was saying she wanted to break her glasses, hurt the cat, and starve herself so she would die. Of course, 2 hours later she had a big lunch and an even bigger dinner last night, but still I'm a bit concerned (total understatement there). X is 100% against D10 being on medication. My plan right now is to email X with the details I've posted here, and to call D10's psych and let her know also...
