....helped S12 through a rough stretch where he was getting into trouble online and making comments about hurting himself. Found him in his closet one day crying about wanting to go home. We are watching him closely and have been keeping him busy and he seems a bit better.
It's been 20 days of non-stop togetherness, under tough circumstances of moving and learning to live in a new city. Things have not been as advertised in terms of my position here and our housing. The house in particular is pretty awful. I'd give myself a B for being strong and helping to get the family through but lately I've just been mad and probably moody. I need a little space and at some point I have to actually start working. Through all of this my W and I have worked hard together to make it work for the family but there been very little between us, certainly not much enjoyment, which is disappointing. The only time I've seen her smile or laugh in the past 20 days is when she is talking to or emailing her coworkers. Burns me up that she laughs so easily with them.
Anyway, I'm just journaling for my own sake. It's all up and down, up and down.
