SO and I met with the Child Psychologist
Yesterday SO and I met with the Child Psychologist. She has been his psychologist since he was even smaller. She told SO somethings that he needed to say to SS8:
"i chose bluehighlighter and she's here to stay, and whether it's her or eventually someone else, I will have a partner for my life, there will always be someone else other than you b/c one day you're going to get older and go off and meet someone of your own." (something like that)

Feel bad but laughing to myself
It's Wednesday and I came over after 8 for me to avoid SS today. He was still being put to sleep when i Arrived so I was quiet. I feel bad for SO. He hasn't been sleeping well without me here's this week. He looks terrible and now sounds kinda sick. We go to bed around 830 tonight. And SS starts. He coughs from his room then he comes in the hall and coughs. (He used to play sick alllllllll the time to get attention and finally told on himself a while back). Then he stomps thru the kitchen (outside our bedroom) coughing. We do nothing bc it's bs. I whisper to SO "are you awake".

Lots of appointments
Today was SS8s child psychologist appointment. Tomorrow is SO psychologist. Friday is couples counseling and the following Monday is SO and I meet with the psychologist to discuss SS behavior. "If" SO has blind spots to how SS acts. (Haaaaaaaaa) and what to expect from "family time". SO said he's open to hearing he has blind spots and hopes I'm open to hearing I have "foggy goggles"
The man has actually "argued" without "arguing" yesterday I was impressed but not TOO impressed maybe we can get it together.

Working out the details to change.
I was told today that all my fears are just fears that aren't based in reality. Those being :
-the fear of SO and I not having our own space
-that other people /situations have or will take primary control over our relationship.
-that I'm not going to be supported
-that I'm unloveable
-getting hurt /rejection
-not being first
-abandonment
-that we will only do family activities.
(All but the last SO came up with)

last night with SO
(see previous blogs)
Last night I got my haircut then made it over by 7 our "ss8 goes to bed early night" and guess what?! SS8 was forced to be in his room or away from everyone at 7 pm actually instead of the two of them nonstop talking messing around wasting time. yay for now
I didn't have to see him or hear him too much even though he used the bathroom like 4 times in a row with a million flushes... letting me know he's there I guess.
I watched tv with my SO he got me some icecream and held me all night until we went to sleep.

love is a dangerous thing
Tonight after two nights back at my own place I'm supposed to spend time with SO. I can't help but be anxious and irritable this morning. I love this man dearly. I love that he is working on himself so hard so that he can "be a better partner to me and prove that we are supposed to be together"

Exhausted from this crap
SO decided last friday that I can no longer fully move in at the end of this month. I haven't actually slept at my own place since last September. He wrote a 9 page paper including our text messages the past few weeks and made copies for our counselor. Good!! She can explain to him that I am the most understanding level headed person alive. He cried later that he's trying to save our relationship.

bitchy wife of friend
bitchy wife of friend decided that she doesn't think me and SO should be together b/c we took away from her and her husbands time with him last week. They see each other once to twice a week with their kids playing mostly just drinking.
