Well, Aaron + I have been home for a couple of days now, and it’s been all-right. Things got a little tense regarding Donna, but thankfully she’s finally gone. I hadn’t said one word to her since I got home from the hospital – Kevin asked me if I would just say "hi" or something, and I told him I just felt too uncomfortable. It filled me with such a strong feeling when she held Aaron that I wanted to grab him from her! (I can’t even stand to look at pictures of her holding him.) Then yesterday Kevin said she told him she was going to sleep in her car for the next week, so he asked me if I minded if she stayed–and I told him if she stayed I was leaving. I really wouldn’t have left, but I guess it made Kevin see that I was very serious. Kevin was pretty much at his wits end – I guess he felt he was being pulled between us, and I told him that I am his wife, and this is my home and SHE needed to leave! She put Kevin on a wicked guilt trip by telling him that she didn’t have anywhere to go, no money, so she was going to sleep in her car. Last night she drove into our driveway, and proceeded to SLEEP IN HER CAR! I’m so glad that she is gone! It’s such a tremendous relief. I have my house + my husband back. The reason that I say I got my husband back, is because all he and I did was fight about Donna and how she was making me feel. Things between Aaron + I are getting better, I saw Dr. Buchanon yesterday, for me, and Aaron had his check-up, and Dr. Buchanon said that I looked very "maternal" and it sounded like I was making progress. I’m starting to see Aaron as an individual, and not a burden. I care about my little man.
