It's been a rough week or 2. D10 was completely off her meds at X's insistence. She was expressing suicidal intent a couple times over the past 2 weeks. When it happened again Wed. night, this is something that never has happened when she was on medication, I called X and told him I was going to have to drop her off at his place. He told me I was abdicating my responsibility (who talks like that???), but I said if I was responsible she would be on medication! It worked out well, he was on a date with OW, and called me honey during the conversation and was funny to hear him explain to OW of course I'm not blah blah blah. He would have had to leave his date, and he admitted he's had tons of problems the past month with her as well. S16 had told me as much the last couple weeks too. He said well I'll agree to the one med, but not the other. Well, fine, I would have agreed to that from the get-go...
So we're slowly starting her back on meds. She hasn't been talking about killing herself since Thursday night, so hopefully it's helping a little. She ran off during church today and hid in one of the classrooms, and has been acting just kind of crazy still though. It was my weekend with the kids, and you know it was exhausting.
We had a meeting with D10's psych on Friday, and X was saying well some of it's just D10 being manipulative and puberty issues. I said well, I could see that maybe, but just coincidentally this happens the month after we take her off her meds!!! The psych seemed to think that was unlikely too.
I think X had already decided to give in somewhat, I mean, it was pretty inevitable, so it went pretty smoothly. This cracked me up: the psych said 2 or 3 times how great we were getting along and how so many divorced parents don't, and how great that was for D10! OMG! X said yes, we've always presented a united front to the kids (um, yes one that he decided!) I'm also thinking about moving to the town where X lives and I work in, and he told me on the way to the car that it would be best if I get a place in D10's school zone. Um, I have an 80 pound dog and am renting, so just being able to find anywhere in town I can afford that will take a large dog and cat is challenging enough. And I said that to him. But honestly it went as well as could be expected.
D10 dropped by X's apt. after church today to get her DS, and X came out to my car with D10 to ask me about having the kids tonight or tomorrow. I let him decide, so he chose tonight, which was fine with me. OW was there too in his apt. apparently, I guess they meet there when her kids are at her place. She came stalking out from the apt. out to where the kids and I are. My thoughts are this is either b/c she wants to hurt me or something like that; or you know with they way they're started she's insecure and worried to leave X alone for a minute, esp. if we're starting to get along. And yes, I know this is completely petty of me, but she's gained about 20 pounds! And she's about 5 feet tall, so you know that's not good! And I've lost 5 or so pounds the last couple months, so funny. She was super buff and working out all the time when she took up with X, so funny. And btw, X is looking like hell. He has the scraggly beard again. Yes, I'm a petty, petty person...
The psych seemed to think that was unlikely too.
