since i've been sort of out of the loop for the most part here, i'll just give a brief synopsis of my life since mikey booted me off of ohell.
aftermath and i got married (eloped) in march 2006. he finally got moved out here in august of 2006. i got pregnant with our son (daniel) almost immediately and we had him in june of 2007.
our marriage has definitely been rocky. there have been a lot of major issues which some of you know about, but since this is a public board that he can see anytime he wants to, i'm not going to go into the gory details. we have struggled, we have separated, we have reconciled, and we have continued to struggle. we both have our demons that continue to haunt us, and likely always will. we are working on them but there is still a lot of work to do, on both of our parts.
he is a wonderful man, and i love him very much. he has taken to my kids like i never expected. he struggles daily with the fact that he left his son in massachusetts and only gets to see him on very rare occasions, when i get to see my children daily. unfortunately, he can not always handle his emotions and he strikes out at anyone handy - generally me. this is something that he is working on, although it is a very slow process.
as for my ex husband (asshat) - he is now seeing someone (ironically, her name is amy also) and he has backed off for a bit. the kids seem to like her, which is really all i care about. of course, i could pull one of his moves and file for custody and call him an unfit parent like he has done to me numerous times, but i won't stoop to his level. maybe now that he's getting laid, he'll leave me the hell alone.
alex's father (idiotboy) has been wonderful. he married the other momma (the one that he got pregnant at the same time that i was pregnant with alex) and they just found out that they are expecting their second one. they moved from about 12 miles away to about 8 blocks away, so it's convenient. we have no custody arrangement on paper, but just work with each other to accommodate each other's schedules. (unlike asshat, who practically requires written notice any time i need to change something.)
we struggle for money on a daily basis (like most of the people that i know) but we are slowly starting to get that under control. i am trying to get my own business going, but it's another slow process that takes time and money. in the meantime, i'm a stay-at-home mommy who never gets to stay home considering all of the running that i have to do for 5 kids on a regular basis.
health-wise, i am falling apart. i am starting to have some female issues that will most likely result in a hysterectomy (*crossing fingers*) sometime in the relatively near future - i talked to my ob/gyn about that today. considering my family history, it's not a matter of IF i'll have it done, it's a matter of WHEN. i have also had problems with my hip for the last 10+ years and had surgery back in february. that helped for a couple of months but now i'm right back to square one and the last round of cortisone didn't do squat, so i go back to the ortho on thursday to start talking about a replacement. yippee!!!
so that's my life in a nutshell. have at it.
