Ok weekend I guess.  Paul's sister came over with her husband yesterday for a visit.  Was nice to have someone to talk to.  And she can say things to Paul he needed to hear.  David has been a little on the mouthy side.  Hormones are really hitting him right now.  I can really tell.  So the normal 12 year old puberty thing is just exponentially exasperated by his past and his issues and his ADHD.  I am dealing with things a little better I think.  Plus I started my period on Friday so I was extremely hormonal and emotional myself,  not to mention cramps.   I have been walking and exercising and that is helping, but the binge eating is really scary.  Last I heard, my Aunt Norma was out of the coma.  Apparently she had a couple of strokes after the brain surgery but is off life support.  So that is good news.   I just say prayers for this counselor.  At least she is recognizing that she needs to find a cure for the disease, not treat the symptoms.  (For David.)  I am not expecting miracles, but anything is better than this.  I think even David is beginning to recognize some of this behavor and issues.  David will not (maybe cannot in some ways) talk about "why" he ripped up that doll.  But after talking with him, I don't think it was meant at me.  Maybe it was meant at his bio mom?  David really is a loving and caring kid deep down.  If not for that, I would have no hope right now.   I really need to get my Love & Logic cds back from my friend.
