I posted a couple times tonight and both times I posted I was a bit on the depressed side. Sorta fighting the mood swings with all the stress and what not.
Kids aren't helping but I'm trying to keep in mind that they have been through two moves in the last couple of months and it must be stressful on both of them and my daughter she's been a bit frustrating. But my son as I've stated before he's been in his terrible twos.
Well they are sleeping in the loft upstairs and he decided to toss his sippy cup (filled with water) onto the coffee table that's up there, well it 'had' double plated glass on the top....next thing I hear is my daughter telling me Josh broke the glass.
I'm thinking oh great, one more thing. Cause of course tension is high as we work out the bugs of this live together thing. I liken it to a new marriage, you have to get used to the other people.
But thing is, my ILs need our help and we need theirs so it's a symbionic relationship (that's not spelled right but you catch my drift). They need/want two rooms built out in the basement so hubby's helping with that (my FIL just turned 65 my MIL is in her late 50s I think, plus she has severe Lyme disease). I do a bit of cooking and cleaning around the house. So that's my help.
She helps me out with the kids when she can and we live here. After the rooms get built we'll move down there while we wait for the VA to make a disability decision for me and while hubby finds work. Then we'll look for our own place when we know we can afford it.
Hopefully to buy and not rent.
I'm just having a difficult time processing all the feelings I've got to process due to what happened with my folks....(again check my profile and read that thread about family issues). And it's alot to take in.
And on top of that having my own issues from how I was raised by 'them' and my ex husband. Well it's alot to try to deal with at once.
And I don't know if anyone really cares..aside from my husband and my ILs (and they do care). But I feel the need to vent....so forgive me. And thanks for listening if you did read all this.
