Shared on Sun, 10/14/2007 - 17:33Well, pretty much good news on most levels-imo. First off my little
girls seem to be unaware of their Mothers apparent suicide
attempt (she still wont directly say thats what happened), which is
good. They wouldnt understand this and no reason for them to
know at this time. My X and her new spouse have beem in marriage
counciling for a few months and not going well. After this episode
she has been in a different type of counciling/therapy which revieled
a LOT!
At this point the diagnosis is they are going to treat 3 different problems,
she has OCD-obsesive compulsive disorder, ADD/ADHD attention defecit
disorder/attention defecit hyperactivity disorder and PTSD post traumatic
syndrome disorder. The first 2 they are already treating with Valium and Paxil
which she told me today are working well. Next month they will start her on
another medication for the PTSD and see how they interact together. Hopefully
this will keep her in check and more stable, I feel bad for her and how this has
affected her present relationship but I'm optomistic about the future for them.
I always knew she was a great person even though her past was pretty rough, I
thought most of it was behind her and admired her for overcoming it(I thought).
Thats where the PTSD gets recognized, she was molested at age 11 by her Uncle
that then went and raped her Grandmother-stabbed her 7 times and left her for dead.
The Grandmother survived(mostly) the Uncle went to jail but was released about
3 years ago, that really sucks! At the same age 11 she was introduced by her parents
to cocaine which she dabbled with until about 18/19-you can actually see some
under her nose in her senior picture.
She has always had my full support and still does, she's really a great Mother and very
protective. I will step in though if any of her conditions cause an unfit situation for my girls.
On the brighter side, our 20 year old Kindra is getting married Nov. 15th, she's a very happy girl!
