Whoo Hoo!! Thank you for all the affirmations, support, and magic! Huge shifts are happening in my world. I think I’m almost out of this particular storm.

Aidan’s situation at middle school was reaching a breaking point and finally his Dad has agreed to transfer him to an alternative charter school in Santa Ana! I have been trying to talk him into an alternative education for years!! I feel really good about the program  I found for Aidan and he’s actually excited about it too! Between his trauma wounds, his sound sensitivity, and his personality…he’s just not designed for the traditional approach to education.

And then my family court date was magically moved up to yesterday and things almost couldn’t have gone better. The judge we got is awesome – heart centered and clear. She was not interested in Nick’s silly accusations. She didn’t care about my cannabis use, even though the court investigators made a big deal about it in their report. She ordered no changes to custody. She said incredibly nice things about Aidan and endorsed the school I chose for him to transfer to. And she’s ordered both Nick and I to work with the kids’ therapists on how to help them heal, to seek individual therapy ourselves, and to take parenting classes through the court. I’m hoping that might help him start to find a better way to relate to the kids. Also, the judge waived the $1500 investigation fee for me and encouraged me to submit the forms to have child support re-assessed.

I feel transformed. Freed from a weight that’s been there so long I forgot I was carrying it. I’m not alone with his insanity anymore. He has nothing left to threaten me with. I can finally really advocate for my kids and get them what they need to fully heal and be joyful.

I still need to find a job, but I’ve been applying to lots and I have a feeling that is going to work out soon too!

It’s a whole new world. These last two months have been one of the hardest times I’ve gone through. Thank you for your support in shifting this. It’s huge for me!
