The girls had their second softball game tonight. Rochelle is doing awesome! She’s doing so much better than I thought she would. Olivia can do well, but she’s bored with it. Liv would do much better in soccer. She has way too much energy to sit and wait for her turn to bat. Especially when there are 22 girls on the team and she gets one chance to bat.
The school Psychologist also called today to let me know that the ADHD assessment is done for Rochelle. The voice mail said that the ratings do show some issues there as well as “other areas”. I called her back but got her voice mail. I’m curious as to what other areas there seems to be issues with. Until I hear back from her, and before I take her findings to our pediatrician, I’m researching some alternative treatments. I refuse to drug my kid. Besides, physical hyper-activity isn’t an issue with her, it’s her inability to concentrate and comprehend. I’ve seen kids on ADHD meds, it doesn’t help them concentrate. It drugs them up so much that their too tired to be there usual active selves. Walking around like a zombie isn’t going to benefit her.
On to another issue, My ex husbands ex wife sent me an email. Apparently she’s been receiving child support and phone calls from our ex. I’ve been dealing with his crap for 10 years, I’ve learned to not expect anything from him. But, when I find out he’s doing for his other kids, and nothing for mine, it pisses me off. Like my daughter is somehow less deserving of her fathers attention? I also have the attitude that she came first, you should think of her first. But, then again, he doesn’t think. She hunts him down. She asks for him to call the kids. She asks for the support. I on the other hand, think it will just hurt Rochelle more down the road if she finds out I forced him to pretend he gives a shit.
I’m tempted to call him and make a bunch of demands. But that will only get Ro a phone call, maybe two. Then she won’t hear from him for years. That’ll just make her feel rejected, AGAIN, by her dead beat Dad. No Thanks.
