Going above their heads

My husband has been diligently calling the SW to try to get visitation for the past 10 days.  Eventually, he (and I) got sick of nothing but voicemail that was never returned, so he called her supervisor.  45 minutes later.. the SW calls.

We have 2 visits this week, one tomorrow and one Thursday.  Both for 2 hours.  I’m still upset I won’t be with my kids for Monkey’s 5th birthday, but it’s better than nothing.  For now.

I’ve barely been able to get myself out of bed today, I was so distraught.  I didn’t fall asleep until 5am, because every time I put my head down I’d end up sobbing.  I just hope this is the beginning of good things.  But I’m not holding my breath.  I’m not an optimist as it is, and it’s really hard to be one now, but I’m trying.  If I didn’t have such a marred past with DYFS and their tricks, I would probably be more hopeful.  But alas, that’s not possible.

At least I get to see my kids, even if it’s only for 2 hours at a time.
