Well, we tried to go to the ice skating meetup but had car trouble half way there and had to limp home. It's an active group so I will have to catch another one, the only thing is it's a town over. Not far but can sometimes take awhile depending on traffic so it's not easy to just catch an after work meetup. It stinks, the kids and I were looking forward to it. Good news is it's a cheap fix.
Yes the changes from S's diet were incredible! What I mentioned is just scratching the surface. It's hard but the result was miraculous. I'm thankful we caught it so early. I almost teared up writing about it above remembering that moment when he spoke to me. We also did dairy, soy, and yellow dye but reintroduced those after a couple years. I think the gluten had damaged his digestive system and after it healed he could tolerate dairy and soy. We did this as a family so it would be easier for S. After doing this w/him my longtime psoriasis/rash on elbows and knees went away and I was able to quit my migraine meds so I'm GF now too.
I documented it as you suggested. I wrote in the same notebook I kept in my office before. I haven't looked at it since I made copies for the guardian attorney. Reading some of that old stuff was painful but I realized how far I've come in a year. Hopefully I don't need it but better safe than sorry.
Xw did make a payment yesterday, she was supposed to do it in full but like the last 2 years she was counting chickens before they hatched (she is in sales) and couldn't. She dropped off D's ds at my office so I asked her about it and mentioned the toll bill. Things weren't bad but, ehhh...not great. she took the kids to meet and playw/friends as she was supposed to meet their mom for coffee. When she came to drop them off she was a mess. The credit union took out more than she setup and she had nothing left and they didn't know if they could reverse it. She was crying and told me she felt like a loser and how she was working hard and her boss told her to quit coming in on her days off and that she looked like crap, was too skinny and needed to take her off days (I imagine bad attitude too). Someone else giving truth darts!
I tried to talk about paying it off and her paying me back but she wasn't up for it, I really don't know if she was taking it in since she was so upset. I will bring it up again at a better time. This has all been very financially stressing on me too. I ended up giving her a little money so she has something until she/we figure this out. Idk if I should have but I gave her a couple hugs and wiped the tears off her face, told her she would be okay and wished her a good afternoon. She seemed genuinely thankful. Idk if this was the best thing for me to do but it was also for the kids to make sure they're taken care of since next week is her week to have them.
