*sigh* miss p is having a rough go of things. i spoke to ina on saturday (after her thursday appointment) about how things are going in her sessions. parker LOVES to go and see ina and is always sad when her 45 minutes are up. anyway, ina told me that parker is doing the child's equivalent of wringing her hands in despair. when they play in the sand parker dirties her object (usually a human figurine i think) and washes it, dirties it, washes it, over and over again. i noticed her doing this at the park the past few days too. this week she has been screaming loudly and gutterally for periods of 2-15 minutes at a time, several times a day. this is never in response to anything, just a seeming release of emotion. also, she's been craving/obsessing about sugary treats and this is out of character for her. ina recommended that i speak to our pediatrician (who is also a homeopath) about a remedy that could soothe her. i spoke to sabina (the ped) and she suggested we try ignatia- a grief remedy. we'll see if it helps.
anyway, i relayed all of this to r and he seemed upset by it. i asked him if he was concerned about homeopathic remedies, parker seeing a therapist, feeling guilty...what? he mumbled that he didn't really think a child this young could be so severly impacted as to need "medication." the man has a degree in psychology. we learned about this in college! of course children are affected! her emotional memory is going to remember this breach of trust forever. r ultimately said that he trusts me to make the decision as to course of treatment for parker. he didn't really have an opinion either way. he still hasn't gotten into see a doctor himself and tonight, although he wasn't working, he decided to go out with his buddies instead of coming to see the kids. i'm so sad for my broken hearted baby girl.
parker is now seeing ina twice a week and ina has cut her already reduced fee for me again. we are suddenly b-r-o-k-e. for now i've stopped seeing my therapist, at least until i get reimbursed by insurance. also, i may check into wic but it may be too big of a hastle with the whole no vax issue.
