Family in The day to day

Today will be the first day I have seen my extended family since my separation. I am really not looking forward to it because I know I will be bombarded with questions. Questions I really won’t have the patience to answer. I may just have to make a broad statement when I get there. Like you can ask if I am okay but beyond that please don’t ask me any other questions.

I hate that he has put me in this situation. My grandparents are missionaries and my grandfather is the one that married us. He has been really concerned since all this happened. He wrote me an email to which I did not respond, offering counseling etc. I love him but I am not as concerned about the supposed religious consequences of us getting divorced. He also ended up writing my husband an email after it had been exposed he was seeing someone else. My dad told my husband that an email would be coming but they were trying to discourage it. My husband said he knew how my grandfather was and to just let him send it. I’m sure he promptly ignored it when he got it.

The only plus side to any of this would be the sympathy from everyone will lead to someone paying for me and my kids meal. And honestly I am ok with that. I only have $100 to get through the next week. And some of that will have to be spent on gas since the family function is about 50 miles from here. That means no groceries this week either. Thankfully I have enough to keep us fed through the week.

B has an appointment today to hopefully be put on some medication for his anxiety. I researched the medication the nurse practitioner wants to put him on and it seems like it really helps kids and sees a big improvement. My only concern is it says it can’t be crushed or chewed and he does not know how to swallow pills. So I am not sure how this will go. I am going to bring it up at the appointment.

This will really be important in the coming months as we had his last consultation with the orthodontist. He’s ready to start braces. Anything medical brings high anxiety for B. Hoping this medication really helps. We won’t start braces until May.

I let my ex, baby daddy (I am searching for what to call him since I hate saying my husband) know how much braces was going to be. Because he has repeatedly told me if I need help with anything to let him know. His response was “I guess you better apply for a Care Credit card.” Great, so that I have to make payments instead of him. Thanks for all all help, ass. I did apply for one and I think I can afford the payments for no interest for 2 years. Especially since my last Care Credit payment for B’s oral surgery, that he had to have done to be able to get braces, is next month. My parents had to put it on their card and I have been making payments for a year.

Need to get my day started I suppose. Actually have a lot to do today. Wish me luck with my family later, I feel like I will need it!
