I had an enjoyable time at the Capitol today--met some nice people and had the opportunity to watch the legislature in action.
Mr. Wonderful just got home tonight. Nothing new to report, other than he mentioned he was glad to be back (I noticed those were the exact words he used--not "home").
I'm sure I'll have more to tell over the weekend.
An added editing note. Two of the parents I met today had something more than a disabled child in common with me. One woman with a D9 about as disabled as mine had her H walk out on her and her 2 daughters when the D9 was 3. She didn't know about DB but worked a similar program for 5 years before she finally filed for D. Her XH lives in WY now and has little contact with the D14, none with the D9 and is a very miserably unhappy and single man.
The other dad was actually a step dad to his D14--who attended with him. She is an older version of D6 and kept signing for me to come sit by her. She was absolutely darling and gave me hugs and held my hand... her stepdad is the only dad she's ever known--because bio dad walked out on her mom when she was 2. He said the guy was in a major league MLC and has still not come back to some semblance of normal. Stepdad is a mental health worker and believes biodad is clinically depressed.
Can you say common ground?
More meetings tomorrow morning and then I should be back posting.
Take care.
Bets
