D called me the other day for the first time in a few weeks, since I told him I could not give him money. I was away with the kids, and sitting in a hotel room with all my kids surrounding me so my answers were a little bit cagey. Im not sure if I mentioned this before but I do not talk to men in front of my kids. These are not relationships my kids need to know about so I only text or talk when I am alone. D of course accuses me of being there with someone. I told him no but he did not believe me. He told me he would call me because he would be down my way this weekend. He called me, I let it go to voicemail. I called back but it went right to voicemail. He calls me a few hours later to accuse me of ignoring his calls, I quip back that I left you a voicemail and he drops it. I told him I have my period, which is not exactly true. My period should be here any minute now, like I keep feeling like it is starting but then never does, for the last 5 days. However I had no mental energy for him, even fucking him feels like more trouble than I am interested in currently. I hate to lie about getting my period. I feel like God will punish me with pregnancy if I lie about it. I don't think I have every lied about it until this week.
The local I told I had my period too. In my defense I thought I did but I was wrong but I did not correct it as I feel like men just do not get these things. I really just don't feel like sex much either. The 3 days away with 3 kids as a single mother damm near killed me and I just need to recoup.
My son, who is 8, if difficult. I have talked about his behavior several times but I feel like I am at a breaking point with it. We have 2 therapist and a behavioral assistant and 2 meds on board and we are still struggling to manage behavior. Behavior just at home...there are no problems at school. There are days where I have to walk away or sit in the car by myself because I feel like I am going to hurt him. Tonight I sat on the couch and cried. I just don't know what to do anymore with a kid that is so difficult to parent and parent alone. JF is not in tune with any of it. He does not struggle like I do because he is not a primary parent. He is like a statue that only speaks when necessary. There are so many feelings of guilt and resentment about my mothering of this child. Some days I can not stand him near me, his energy is manic and negative and my reserves to combat that kind of energy are so low that there is just nothing left to give.
So it just seems easier to tell men that I have my period then to deal with the actual feelings of utter mental collapse that I am approaching. Periods they understand but the stress my kids puts me through I know D will not understand and I don't know enough about the local guy to even guess.
I am fully vaccinated now. I feel good about that, it makes me feel better about seeing people for sex (if I ever have the energy for it again). I do still have a bruise on my arm from my 1st shot, which was over a month ago. That is somewhat concerning. Otherwise I did not have any reaction to either shot.
I have not been able to even have my daughter watch the kids like she was because my sons behavior is so erratic that I can't feel like I can safely leave him with her. I don't know the solution with this child but I am feeling like I am out of my league. I hoping the therapist, one of them, begins to make some progress soon.
For now, my intention is to see the neighbor when I get a chance because it is good and easy and I will see the local guy too but I don't think I have the mental energy for much else. And as my period is a day late I start to worry about God punishing me for lying about my period but I still have full faith the IUD is working. I mean it is not like anyone is cumming inside me anyway.
