class and house

registered for classes today. got re-registered at the university, then applied for my class for the summer - July/August. confirmation tomorrow or thursday.

went to look at some houses over the last few days. some affordable ones came open. not in the area i wanted - i wanted to be within walking distance of Smitten - this is a little outside of easy walk.

the area is on the edge of a not as swell area - but it is on the upswing. it is the area that will be next to get fully redeveloped.

my parents are offering to buy the house and i will rent from them and then buy it when the settlement comes. the settlement is still in its magic place between lawyers and court filings.

hopefully soon, says my lawyer.

the kids are pretty hopeful about me getting a house. son will probably be living with me full time by the end of summer. things are that bad with his mother. we'll see on daughter - it might happen with her too.

son is getting some relaxation training from his counsellor.

he had another bad breakdown the other night. we were up until about 3am...

he wasn't prepared to admit he was under stress - or that it should affect him. he just thought he should be able to deal with it. that it should just roll on by because he understands it in his head.

the counsellor is working with him on accepting his stress and his body's demands to deal with his emotions and the way they well up.

and other stuff - just not that inspired to write at this time

I sincerely hope the house situation works out for you. Your son (and daughter) need to get out of the poisonous atmosphere at their mother's house.

Good luck with all this. You're moving forward in the right direction. :)

Hang in there Cad, sending good thoughts and peace to you and the kids for the near and long term decisions you all have on your plate.

Lots of love,
lil'sis

Good idea not to have the new house in your name for right now.

Keep it up, doing great DAD!

Let's hear it for home ownership! Hooray!

I'm glad your son and daughter continue to rely on you for support and understanding. As parents, we do the best we can with what we've got and move on from there.

Nothing says love like a good counseling session!

Sorry Mr. C. . . . I think the mom is creating more stress on son than you know. . . . he thinks he can handle it, but no sane person could deal with her. . . .
I am glad your parents will help with a house. . . . I think it will help your kids feel settled. . .
Ciao

That is stellar that your parents are willing to do that for you! Yay!
