I just got word today that now that I get no help from Nick that I get more Medicaid hours! So, Excited! I get 8 hours at night (which I have now) AND 8 hours everyday when I'm not working and 10 hours when I am....I couldn't be happer. Just when I was getting overwhelmed. Perfect. Timing. I had a week of Thanksgiving off...out of all those hours to watch the kids guess how many Nick did? come on...guess.... ok one weeks worth of hours he did 6 of them. That's right 6. I was drained. I was looking forward to work as a change of pace. We quallify for Medicaid AND I get to shower AND leave the house every once in a while!!!
THE TRUTH: For those reading this, here is the truth behind the bitterness and lies. I come over to the house to take care of Alex and Lauren every Tuesday and Thursday from 7a-6p, Fridays from 7a-1p, and on Sundays from 7a-1p. I also am the one that takes the kids to ALL of their doctors appointments, as Megan refuses to take them. To say that I want nothing to do with the kids is completely erroneous, and anyone who knows me knows this is completely untrue. It should also be noted that I do not in fact, come to the house often when Megan is here, since her bitterness and uncontrollable mouth is not a positive environment to subject the children to.
ReplyDeleteAs for the nursing hours, I hope everyone knows it was me, myself, and I that worked with the nursing agency to get more hours for Megan since the family situation has changed. Unfortunately, I was not able to tell the nursing agency to change the nursing hours so Megan could have some during her "off hours." Those are all mandated by the state, and are not subject to our wishes. I did, however, change the nursing schedule so they arrived at 10p, vs. 11p, specifically for Megan so she could either go to bed earlier (which we all know she covets) or take a shower...of which she has chosen not to do. I have also offered to come over and watch the kids so she can go out with friends, of which, she has taken me up on 1 time, and was basically forced to go to dinner with some co-workers. She also gets nursing coverage on Monday during the day, at which time she can in fact leave the house with Alex.
Unfortunately, the bitterness that Megan is feeling towards her life and me has clouded her sense of reality and what is the truth. Anyone who knows both Megan and I knows that I would do anything for my kids and love them very much, and also that Megan has long-lasting anxiety and depression issues to which she has refused to receive help for.
I just hope that through this blog in the future, more productive and positive communication can take place and everyone will rally around Megan in a positive way to help her get through this difficult time and allow her to be the parent I know she can be, and be a person that can have a positive outlook on life.
