Doing well. One of her friends had planned a surprise so I had to get her ready without her knowing and she was truly surprised. She will come home for dinner and we plan on watching her favorite movie in our pajamas and finally cutting her birthday cake. She seems unphased she doesn't know the truth. I just keep reminding myself that I can only help pick up the pieces but I can't keep him from disappointing her again and again. I used to laugh at my Dad when I was younger he always wanted to move our family to a private island I totally get it now. I want so much to protect her but thats not really living either and she is now an adult. I thought raising my DS - autistic was patience building but I am starting to think that was just a test run or training for the patience I'm gonna need now
