April's Journey to "135"

April"135"

Due to computer issues, 2bigforTexas is no longer with us!!! I'm starting new things at home and now I'm starting fresh here as well. The past week I have only lost 1 pound. I've been working on it, so I'm afraid I've hit one of those slow weeks. I kind of let myself go over the weekend and started off fresh this morning. Maybe that'll freak out my metabolism!! My daughter is back home and we are starting a homeschooling program. She also is working on weightloss. She still has 115 pounds to lose. She's already lost 15. We are all working together and she's helping me push John to be more healthy too. I'm going to go try to catch up on your lives now.
 
Hey Darlin, Good to have you back. Good for you changing your name. Because you dont exactly match the name, well maybe personality wise you too cause you are an amazing person. But anyway its so good to have you back I really have missed you. Congrats on the pound lost and having your daughter home with you. Its so nice to have someone to diet and excercise with. Good luck to you Honey and Now that you are back I will be checkin up on you ofte. (((HUGS)))
 
I'm glad your here Julie. You have been on my mind alot this past week. I know that you are strong and can make it, but I still worry about you. Hope you got my message. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but I've been there and I've tried every way.
 
I got your message. I sent you one back. And you can tell me how you feel anytime. Thats what friends are for!!!!

I am glad you changed your name too....

You are gonna be fine

Love the new name girl friend! We are all here for you!
 
Thanks everybody, it feels good to know I was missed. Things are kind of weird here right now. Daughter is home but is still seeing her therapists and is on some anti-depressant meds. She seems to be having a better attitude. Wish I could say the same thing for John, though. Apparently, he's not so happy about her homecoming. He didn't actually say he expects me to choose between them, but he implied it by saying that he can't deal with it and maybe he should just go back out on the road. I told him that if that's how he feels, maybe he should. I will not go back to feeling stuck in the middle. She's my baby, he's a man. She needs me, he wants me. It hurts to even think about but I'm going to have to face that I think I'm getting ready to lose my husband!
 
Mornin Honey, Hate to hear that you are having marital problems as well .Its confirmed in my book Men Suck. Honey you have always been here for me and I will be there for you as well if you EVER want to talk you can email me anytime or message me. My email is Danscrew2003@yahoo.com Sorry you have to go through this Honey, But Im glad you have your baby home with you. Stay Strong Darlin. (((HUGS))))
 
April, I dont know whats wrong with men these days... I really dont.... I'm sorry you have so much going on right now... We're all here to listen and help as we can though.. you know that...
 
Come on Sweetcheeks you are gone forever then come back only to leave me again I found you at the bottom of page 2 so bringing you back to the land of the living. Hope things are better at home. Your in my thoughts.
 
Hi! I'm here. Thanks for the concerns! Things are just kind of weird right now. Hubby is very apologetic right now. He's so stressed out about the finances and he's a typical man, so of course if one thing is wrong EVERYTHING is. We are doing pretty good though. Daughter has appointment with her therapist today and we are going to decide if we should try to keep her home or find a new placement for her. Her ability to control her anger and depression has gotten slightly better due to her medication, but it's still a dangerous situation.(she becomes very violent) The concern is that having her here is just setting her up for another failure. The feeling of her psychiatrist and the juvenile courts(and me sometimes) is that she needs supervision and structure that isn't possible in a standard home setting. The children's home that is trained to deal with kids like her couldn't even handle her. That's why John's so upset about her being here. He's scared something will happen and he won't be her to stop it. The last time she was home and got mad at me, she attacked me with a butcher knife. She did stop herself before she actually cut me, but what if next time she doesn't? The therapist is going to discuss the options with us today and we will make a final decision then. It hurts to think of having to send her away again, but I'm trying to focus on her future success, and the help she needs is more than I am capable of.:confused: :confused: :confused:
 
Oh Honey Im so sorry to hear all this is going on. I know how much you love your daughter and I know in your heart you want her home but you need to think about whats best for all. First off Im worried for you, I dont want you getting hurt or killed for that matter Sweetie. Hopefully you and the therapist can figure out what to do in everyones best interest. Keep us updated and I will keep checking in on you as now Im worried. Ill keep you in my thoughts and prayers April.
 
I love you guys!!! Well, the therapist also believes that she needs a more stuctured environment that any home can be also 24 hour supervision. So, now it's a matter of finding the right place, and quickly! As far as my ass, I mean my husband is concerned, he seems to feel like he's gotten his way. I told him that she will be going, and he said Good, what day and what time? I told him to keep in my mind that her leaving has nothing to do with what he wants. He said he doesn't care about the reason, as long as she's gone. He even told me I'm no longer allowed to use the truck to take her anywhere. She has 3 different counselor/therapists she's seeing and she is supposed to be getting braces put on next week! I told him that's fine, he could take his truck and go and don't bother coming back! Of course he refuses to leave. He seems to think once she's gone, things will all be okay again. I told him tonight that I may not be able to make him leave, but he might as well face the fact that he's lost his wife. He's the perfect husband when it's just the two of us, but I'll be damned if I'm going to chose any man over my child!!!!
 
Hey Sweetie got your message. Im now even more worried. You are a true friend and I dont like that you are going through all this. I know Im not in Texas but if you need anything at all dont hesitate to ask. You can call me anytime as well. Call me collect if you just need a friend Im always here for you!!!!!
