Thanks...

There are times when I am tired and have very little patience and I wish the girls' mom would get her shit together. Why isn't she doing the work to get her kids back? I am more than twice her age; if I sometimes lose my cool, how does she do it? I love the girls, but sometimes I am overwhelmed. I am not perfect. I read as much as I can and try negotiating the world of a 2 year old. It's like living with a barely verbal bi-polar person. I miss my old life at times. I think there would be something wrong with me if I thought parenting young kids would be easy.
