Snow White's parents, as of yesterday, are no where to be found. Dad and grandpa are under no contact orders when it comes to the kids, and mom and dad are no longer living with the grandparents. This will be the second week that Snow White is not seeing her parents, and that is starting to get to her.
However, just like denying a kid their 30th piece of Halloween candy makes them throw a sugar induced hysterical fit, even though this makes her sad.... not seeing them is better for her.
Her brother came to a Halloween party that we had Thursday night (I so wish I could post pictures!), and while it was stressful, it was ultimately a good thing.
Snow White and Brother have a complicated relationship. Their past causes there to be a lot of anxiety and distrust, but the overall feeling that they seem to have for one another is love. Snow White woke up Saturday morning very excited about Brother coming over, but as the day wore on her emotions flip flopped between excited and anxious. It was hard to watch, and I am conflicted about how often we should do this.
He is a good kid, and was actually a lot of fun to have at the party. He was helpful, respectful, and his excitement was hilarious. He was exactly the kind of kid that you would want yours to be at a party. But with him comes a lot of deep issues and deep emotions for my little girl. And while I don't want to keep them apart, I don't know how often I can put her through those emotions (or put myself through the pain of watching her deal with this).
Today would usually be visit day, but since there is no visit it gets to be Pumpkin Carving day.
Have a great Halloween!
