This has been the worst year of my life, truly.

*January: Things are good. I start school again to pursue a degree in office admin. I’m optimistic.

*February: the kid started having mysterious stomach aches.

*March: I turned 30. nuff’ said. Stomach aches increased.

*April: Kid puts up a fight to go to school almost daily. Shows signs of anxiety, starts seeing a counselor and begins medical testing to diagnose stomach aches. Also told the kid needs rods put in her back because her scoliosis is out of control.

*May: I’ve got another fucking giant tumor on my remaining ovary. Kid still suffering despite our trips to various doctors. She’s lost 20 pounds in 4 months.

*June: Complete abdominal hysterectomy. Fucking horrible experience and incredibly painful. I can’t eat for weeks. The kid’s weight loss has halted.

*July: Complications from the hysterectomy because I’m a diabetic. Kid has an upper and lower scope. Has her spinal fusion and experiences horrifying pain because they didn’t tell us most kids her age (10) don’t have this operation done until they’re 14-16. I feel like a shitty parent for putting her through that.

*August: Things seemed okay. The stomachaches slowed down, kid started middle school. I begin a venture into a new home based business because the medical bills won’t stop coming in.

*September: I think I see light at the end of the tunnel. I’m feeling better. Kid is doing okay, though a little anxious at times so she see’s a psychologist.

*October: All hell breaks loose. The kid is acting out daily, barely eating, dropping weight daily. She’s down to 90 pounds when a year before she was 125. She is hospitalized in a behavioral unit for 2 weeks. Feeling like a shitty parent again. Horrified because I have trouble being around my own child. She’s put on a high dosage of Prozac and diagnosed with multiple disorders. Generalized Anxiety being the most prominent.

*November: In home family therapy begins. Things slowly get better.

*December: It’s just begun but there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel. The kid is doing 90% better. Home business is going okay and may really be something I can do well with. School is great. Praying nothing else happens before the year is over. I’m ready for 2016 because this year was for the fucking birds.
