Funny how the mlcer will blame us for illnesses, been there.
Hi Kyh , funny yes. Since day one of this i have been target number one. It kinda rolls off me now. Like a running gag. I chuckle at it and move on

yes.. very unwell. I know I can't help her and I try to look the other way so I don't get pulled into her drama. It's the toughest part of all this. Seeing them in such pain. I truly hope she does get help.

A double whammy... isn't just plain old MLC enough. I guess we get the crazy but I'd rather see it from a far then see what's really spinning in their heads.

She can't accept the consequences of her actions.
Hi Job yes, they do come out to play. I got a better hang on things this year though. I slipped up last month because she really hit the heart strings. I assure you I'm back in my own drivers seat.
My mom did repeat to XW that the girls are hurt and that they are teens. It is not as easy as she thinks and that the girls just won't forgive and forget. XW will one day will hopefully accept this.

I'm hoping for the girls sake that XW does finally see the light so to speak and start to rebuild their trust and gain their forgiveness as she accepts her role in all this. It is all I want for Xmas ( if i was to make a wish )

small update. D14 had a good day. no episodes. She is keeping calm and not over doing anything now that she understand the triggers to the symptoms.
I have a buddy who's daughter started working at one of the children hospitals in the neighboring city. She is close to 3 of the top neurosurgeons at that hospital. She has my D14 file and will get things moving. I am blessed I have a good entourage. I thank God everyday for that. This should move us through the system a lot faster.
As for XW . a small but nice message from her . She apologized for blaming me for D14 illness. She says she was wrong in saying that.
I thanked her and told her that I know she didn't mean it and I appreciate her apologizing.
later this morning a second text message came in. She said she was listening to a radio show about separated parents raising kids. That the adults should keep the children as stable as possible. Like as if the child was jumping rope with each parents holding the ends to help the child not miss a jump. To do it as a team even though they were at separate ends.
I took a long time to reply to her. But simply wrote.
That would be amazing if our separation was a normal one. What we are living is not normal. The child must trust that both parents are able to continue to spin the jumping rope at the same time and speed. Our timing is currently off so it's hard for the child to be able to jump rope. One day I hope this will happen but its not today.
** Don't forget to help anyone you can this Xmas. If it's donating a few cans of soup to the food bank or cleaning out that closet to donate it to the local homeless shelter. If we all do a little it does go a long way.**
