When it Rains it Pours

 I am broken hearted at the moment not because of my son, Huck Finn, but now my daughter Anne, loosely portrayed from Anne of Green Gables. My daughter has two children, one of which is autistic. The other is only ten months old. I have no idea where my daughter is at, but she pulled my autistic grandson out of programming by going before his time to leave was up. I am concerned about her mental health and now my grandson as well. The baby is being cared for by his dad. I will be babysitting starting tomorrow.

update:

This situation is so close to the cuff that I can barely talk about it. Maybe it is better I don't. I had to put Anne in the hospital. She created a situation that was dangerous for herself and my autistic grandson. My son Huck is doing what he is supposed to do. I have petitioned her before, but she always managed to change her status to voluntary. I am pleased this hospital is not allowing that. I won't go into details, but I am glad my grandkids are safe, and she is now safe.

My Huck Finn is Adjusting

My Huck Finn is adjusting to living temporarily with me. He is an independent soul and has been going to work in construction every day. Tomorrow, he has an appointment with his psychiatrist to renew his medication. 

He is industrious and he has a good social network. As of right now, he knows how important the medication is to his wellbeing. He is sleeping in my spare bedroom. I don't want him to burn himself out, so I am trying to let him run his own show.

My daughter, Anne based loosely on Anne of Green Gables, is having what I would say is the opposite effect from her medication and appears to be manic. I may have to babysit my grandchildren, but I don't know.

As for me, I am working part-time and have the ability to put my work on the backburner. I am used to being a caretaker, as I have done it all my life. Sadly, there were many times, I did not take the medication, so I was hospitalized several times. There were times I did take medication and still wound up in the hospital, but not for long. So, the medication sometimes has to be adjusted.

I am working very hard to stay well for my children and grandchildren. I am keeping in contact with those who help me handling things. That doesn't mean it is not a rocky road.

Having the ability to reduce stress by not working is a wonderful benefit to my mental health as I am a senior citizen. I am working on my autobiography a little bit at a time so I hope it will inspire a movie. I am writing it as a book, but I plan to pitch it later as a movie. I intend to keep the characters anonymous in the book.
