Welcome to the Sunday Roundup #57!!
On the homefront:
Things are going -Ok. This week my daughter called me into her session with her therapist. That went well, is all I am going to say(sarcastically and with a wince). Ugg seems we may have to call the police next time my daughter gets out of hand. I don't think I can do that. I do not want to do this as it will put her into the foster care system and could make her worse. I am faced with such problems with her. We are just not sure of what is going on with her. She isn't even sure what is going on with her. It's all so confusing.
This does not excuse the violence by her.

I also, went to my appointments got the necessary procedures done and now have my forms for my mammogram and I am awaiting my results for my pap test. I also had my hair done - thank god - this always makes me feelllllll so much better. So, things are on track for me this week and I am happy about that.
Things I know:
THROAT PUNCH!
School Front:
I received a letter asking me to be part of the school honor society. I accepted! =)
This coming week there is a storm brewing on the day I need to drive for 3 hours to be tutored for 2. Yes, makes no sense but I am not doing that great in chemistry and could REALLY use the help and must do it. I MUST.

Hey congrats on the honor society! And I hope everything works out with your daughter- hang in there!
ReplyDeleteBlessed and Little dArlings- will be curious to see what you think of those since both are kinda calling to me ha!
Thank you! I am hanging on. I think it has a lot to do with her age.
DeleteI'm sorry things are so hard with your daughter! I really hope things will smooth over and get better - especially since she's in therapy.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the honor society - that's exciting, right? And hopefully, the storm won't arrive as forecasted, so you'll be good to drive.
Have a wonderful week ahead and happy reading.

It will get better eventually, I hope. Thank you! I am super excited about being in the HS! =)
DeleteI'm sorry to hear that things have been so bad with your daughter. I'm wondering if she maybe has some form of autism or something like that. It must be such a hard time for your whole family and I hope that a solution can be found.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking more of bi-polor, manic depressive maybe. I don't know I am doing research into what it could be. It is definitely a mental health issue.
DeleteOh wow, it seems like things are kind of tough now, huh. I really hope they work out soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks Eve, me too. I don't know how much I can take. =(
DeleteI'm so very sorry to hear that you are having such a tough time with your daughter - and as one who also has a rocky relationship with my daughter, I very much feel for you. It's a continual heartbreak...
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued by Blackwell - I've heard a lot of good things about this one, are you enjoying it? Have a great reading week, Mary:))
I haven't started, started Blackwell yet. But I will be in the next few days. Have a great week.
DeleteOh Mary I am so sorry to hear this about your daughter :-( I have a colleague who went through what you seem going through. Her daughter became violent and truly she thought about calling the police. She did not know what was going on with her neither her daughter did. At the end her daughter went to a special treatment center for months. She suffers from a mental illness but with all the therapy and appropriate medicine she is much much better now and could go back to normal school system. I am relating this here to give you hope. Because life can be very hard sometimes and we don't see the light at the end of the tunnel yet there is a light. Be strong, be brave and if you want to discuss by mail you know what to do. Thinking of you and good luck on your drive!
ReplyDeleteI know you have an idea of what I am going through and maybe some others too. She might have to go into a home for this. We are looking into that possibility. Her therapist is the one who told me to call the police....Ughhh that doesn't give me much hope. She is going through something if she would just talk about it or open up. Something. I don't know. I will keep you posted.
DeleteI'm so sorry about your daughter, Mary! I can only imagine how hard that is. Congrats on the honor society, though - that's awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThanks on the HS and only time will tell what is going to happen. I hope we can get this worked out.
DeleteMy son had to have a mobile unit called in to come evaluate him. He also spent 3 weeks in the hospital and was put on medicine that thankfully helps him. We are currently going through adjustments since he is getting older and some of the meds aren't working correctly but overall he is much better. Does you state, town, have a crisis center or is there a facility that can take her for a few day/weeks to get evaluated and accessed? Those 3 weeks he was in the hospital was the worst for me but I got my son back and that was what counted the most.
ReplyDeleteStay strong, this is just a bump in the road, it will pass with time and help. It can get hard but I think with the right help you will all get through it.
Hope this week is better for you Mary! Happy Reading!
That is a great idea. I will have to look into it. I am trying to be as strong as I can. Thanks for the encouragement. It must have been so hard for you too. I have a social worker helping with this also.
DeleteCongratulations on making the honor society. I hope you are enjoying your reading this week.
ReplyDeleteBeen super busy this week, nicely rounded up. Wishing all well over the lunar new year
ReplyDeleteThank you Calvin. I hope the same for you.
DeleteSorry to hear about the problems with your daughter. I hope there are better days on the horizon. Congrats on making the honor society - go you! A hair appointment always boosts my mood. :)
ReplyDeleteMe too, right now things are a little quieter - hopefully it stays that way. I totally love getting my hair done. =)
DeleteSorry to hear about your troubles with your daughter. It sounds like quite a difficult situation. ((HUGS)) And, CONGRATULATIONS on getting into the honor society. You're a star! I saw tons of great reviews for The Broken Girls. Hope you enjoy all your new books.
ReplyDeleteYes, we will get through this tho. I love her to pieces, they ruled out hormones and think it's a mental condition. We are trying to figure it out. Have a great week Sam!
DeleteI hope you find some help for your daughter. Sorry you are all struggling.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the Honor Society. And enjoy those great looking books. We are reading some of the same ones.
My Sunday Post
We are working on getting her even more help if that doesn't work she might have to go into a group home. I hope you are enjoying the ones we are both reading. I am trying to get Blessed done for the tour soon.
DeleteI am so sorry to hear about your troubles with your daughter. We've been having similar issues with my son and we've been doing therapy. We had a rough couple weeks but it seems to be getting better on our front. I hope things get better for you.
ReplyDeleteAlso, congratulations on the honor society! That is so awesome! I also hope you get the help you need with chemistry!
I hope you have a wonderful week!
Tina @ As Told By Tina
Oh good, I am glad things are going better for you and your son. I am hoping that is what will happen with my daughter too. We shall see. I am praying for the best. Have a wonderful week and thanks for giving me some hope in this dark tunnel.
DeleteI hope things work out with your daughter. Mine has such health issues. She has a midterm this week, so it's a bit stressful of course. Tomorrow I am taking her early to study and she's staying late for another thing. She stays every single time for the office hours for the class to ask questions. She also starts a group therapy this week for more socialization.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on Honor Society. I hope you get the Chemistry help.
Here's hoping it's a better week! Anne - Books of My Heart
I am sorry she had such health issue. In a sense mine is a health issue also. She has something mentally wrong and we are trying to get a diagnoses and possibly medications to help. I just can't take the violence from her. It gets pretty bad here with it. I will keep trying to get her the help she needs.
Delete::hugs:: for you and your daughter. Mine is currently in a residential facility for depression. We just want her to be safe. I don't know what you're going through with your dd but I hope all ends up well.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the Honor Society!
I hope so too Brooke. We are trying to get her the right help and she may wind up in a facility also. I hope all works out well with your daughter too. Many hugs to you and your family.
DeleteSorry to hear about your daughter... I can't even imagine how difficult that must be.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the honor society! I have no idea what it is but it sounds like a very good thing.
Fingers crossed the happy boost from the hair cut lasts a while! Sounds like you could use the happy boost this week.
It is. I have one that is the opposite so I know the good and the bad. I will keep trying. Have a wonderful week!
DeleteSorry to hear about your daughter. Good luck with the tutoring session. I hope it does the trick for you.

Congratulations on the honor society! That's wonderful. I'm so sorry about your daughter. That sounds impossibly difficult for everyone. I hope you find something that works for you and for her. I hope this week goes smoothly!
ReplyDeleteHang in there, I know how hard it is when good parents deal with wayward children. Hugs.
