I thought I would update everyone on my world. I have been thinking about when to update but I keep thinking that once I do something is bound to happen and then I will have to take it all back.
Then I thought of how every little thing is a huge thing in our worlds and it deserves to be acknowledged.
My world has been calm, nice, I actually have been enjoying having difficult child here. Maybe saying difficult child will jinx it, I will call him D.
D has been in a program for a little over a month, taking Suboxone, and he started and IOP intensive outpatient program this week that will last 2 weeks.
He is home everyday and night, he is with his 2 friends one is my nephew and the other is a boyhood friend. They are not angels, they drink and smoke pot but nothing else. They have helped me in intervention about 2 months ago I think it really helped. They hang here, watch movies, play cards and eat.
I have to admit the reality as well. I know D has had some drinks, he has yet to have a completely clean drug test but he has not been positive for opiates and they are checking for the THC levels to go down as they stay in his system the longest.
He is not working, but looks casually. He cleans the house and babysits when needed. No complaints. He washed and vaccumed my car, I gave him 20 bucks for a haircut.
He has Renaud's Syndrome which is a vascular disorder, his lips turn purplish like he is really cold and its aggravated when he smokes, nicotine and the cold are the two causes, nothing to do about it except stay warm and stop smoking.
He is also taking Depakote and Seroquel for BiPolar (BP) and anxiety, I think it helps but it hasnt been long enough, only a week or so. He does seem sort of tired or out of it I think.
All in all its everything I can live with right now. One day at a time and little by little, It will all fall in to place.
