Then there's the boy.....

He is showing his signs of autism again.  The ones that put him on the spectrum but not high enough for a diagnosis because that would hold him back.

They come out when he's stressed.

Some teachers allow gum chewing, I think that helps him, we shall see.

Last night, he was talking to me.  He is nearly 14, still a boy, but so grown up at times.  He still wants to live with me.

His Dad blames me for Z not liking his girlfriend.  Z was home when all the crap unfolded, when those awful texts and emails came.  I didn't mean to have the boy hear everything.  It was hard not to react to it all.  I'd like to say I feel guilty but I don't.  She is what she is.  I didn't make her do those things or make her send those messages.  She's a grown woman.

When she ran out of Walmart like a child, my sister said that it was because Hanna saw them and she's now a witness to their being together.

Maybe.

I think she knows what she did and she's ashamed.  It was the first time she'd ever seen us. I hope she's ashamed.

Then again...

That would be giving her more credit than she probably deserves.

If my husband had simply fallen out of love, he could have done things right and gotten his own place and not moved in with her.  That's not what he did though.  He's really hurting his son.  I don't know what to do.

I've been told that in our county, most judges give automatic 50-50 custody.  He'd be stuck with her half the days of his life if that happens.  Ken works, a lot.  That I know of, she doesn't work. She'd be home all day with my boy.

I drive Z to school every day and make sure he is picked up, who would do that there?  He can't ride a bus from here or their place, where ever they live.  I don't even know if they live in the school district. I still don't have their address.

He told me he was giving us less money because we moved.  Guess the car payment is pretty high.
