Forward we go
I was asked in a note if I ever have hope of Travis being who he was.
Well, no.
That would be impossible, you can never go back to who you are, he has changed, I have changed, we all have changed.
What I would like would be a functioning adult man, who is a husband and father, and is happy.
Happiness is a goal, functionality is a goal.
They did the global functioning acessment, and he scored about a 30-40. (look it up)
He is a fully functioning 8 year old. You read that right, 8 year old.
Anyways, we are working on getting me money to care for him, and money is a good thing right now.
Things are still rocky here, he went on a sleep binge and slept 16 hours yesterday.
Other than that, the kids are good, I am good, and life moves forward.

I can’t imagine having another 8 year old in someone who should be my partner.

That must be incredibly difficult–not only to care for him on top of your three young children.. but doing so without his help because he isn’t able. If he is functioning as an 8 year old, does that mean he shouldn’t be left alone with the kids or be homeschooling them? Or does that scale not make him a danger in that way? I hope that you are able to get money for caring for him. I know that

you’d rather have a fully functioning husband to help you… but money would hopefully lessen the stress load on you.

Gosh, kudos to you to having the emotional ability to stick it out and help Travis. He should count his lucky stars that he has you by his side. I think you two do have a strong, underlying love/bond. You’ll get him through it, as well as see yourself through it as well. I think you are one of the strongest women I know. *hugs*

I can not even imagine what you deal with daily, especially with your husband. I don’t know how you do it Tami. xoxo
