Sorry it has been so long. I read my google reader but after a day or so I forget to check on comments. Things are much better.
My dad spent 30 days in detox/in patient treatment. He tested positive for some drugs as well as alcohol. He is home now and going to his 90 meetings in 90 days and doing intensive (3 hours five days a week) out patient treatment. He is so much more like the dad I remember. I have been trying to get my mom to go to Al Anon meetings but she hasn't done it so far.
I have been working on being more "available" to my husband. That has worked better for both of us I think. I am not totally sure what is going on for the future but I am much happier right now.
I know I have said it before but you guys are awesome. I feel like you are my only friends. My friends IRL aren't really even friends anymore. They all seem to be weird relationships that have fallen apart and I am so done with them.
School is HARD. I am in my first semester of nursing school and they have changed the program so that it is very difficult to pass but if you do pass and graduate there is almost no way you can not pass the licensing exam. I can't wait until next semester - that's when we get to do clinicals in the hospital.
Thank you all so much for your comments. I am reading with you guys every day, I promise to try and post more for advice and just let you know I am still alive :)
Nancy - I said all that stuff because it is true. I admire you greatly.

- I am a 30 year old native Jersey Girl. I got married a few years ago and after some time and some fertility drugs, I recently had my first child, a son. My fantastic hubby is a police officer (and volunteer Firefighter and EMT). We have an Airedale Terrier, Riley, who brings us more laughs than anything. Lots of changes are in store for me in the next year and I am also trying to figure out how to be a better person.

I'm glad things are looking up. The first year with a baby is difficult without other factors. Things will get easier eventually, and you'll look back on this time as a time when you learned how strong you can be.
I've been wondering about you. You have so much going on. I hope you aren't taking on too much...of course some of it is out of your control. Glad to hear your dad is getting help. Nice thing about nursing school is that you're certain to get a job right away. And nurses are in the best position to make immediate impact on people's lives in a positive way. You might not even see the attending physician for more than 60 seconds but you never forget the nurse who was there.
I'm glad things are gong well with your dad. That's a pretty stressful event!
I was thinking about you this weekend. It was a rough one for me and I thought back to one of your posts and I was a bit better. Thinking about that certain post made me feel less "alone". Hard to explain. I just wanted to let ya know!
Keep up the good work, super mom/wife/woman!

I'm glad your dad is doing well. And I hope your mom may find some solace somewhere, even if she doesn't to the alanon meetings.
Nursing school! Yay! I am about 25% through with my bachelor's degree for nursing. I was taking classes before I had kids and stopped when I got pregnant and the fact I wasn't going to quit my job to do clinicals. But now I'm thinking of going back and finishing the program and change careers. I think I would do well in the field. Just reading your post made me feel so positive about what/where I'm going to do with my life now I'm unemployed.
