I'm glad you posted, W really upset S today and I though about your post. I was letting the kids paint and the things were left out. They went back to it later and Started painting in good clothes. W saw and started yelling about it. Son was really upset and frustrated (he has trouble in this dept anyway with high functioning autism). I calmed him down and told him how his mom was hurting right now and doesn't feel good and didn't mean to yell. I calmed him down more and I told him we both love him and how great he is, and then I got an old shirt of mine for him. It's hard to find the right thing to say to a 7 yo that is extremely smart.
W needs a hysterectomy in the worst way but refuses. She could barely walk today but tries to act like she's fine. It also makes her physically ill. Meanwhile she's hurting so bad she's extra short with everyone. It's been bad for about 3 years but she refuses to get surgery or hormone therapy. She's told me she's scared.
She avoided me again tonight. I'm still not sure whether or not to say anything again so I haven't yet. I'm out of town and then she is so I won't see her for a week now but tonight definately wouldn't have been a good pick.
