Hard days
I just moved (because I was given an eviction notice due to my landlady
wanting my suite for her daughter) and have yet to acquire furniture. We
have a sofa-bed, a tv and a huge pile of boxes.
My 2 year old is overtired and kind of disturbed by the move. She is crabby
and demanding.
Her addicted dad just admitted he has been shooting up for a month.
I am glad we don't live with him but I am still heartbroken.
I have been avoiding the Alanon meetings since the babysitter where I go
told me she has Cancer and a few days later told me she made it up. I feel
like I can't trust her to watch my daughter if she is making **** up like that.
Meanwhile I don't feel like I can have a babysitter at our new place until
things are a bit more organized.
I am considering telling the main lady at the centre how I feel about their
babysitter. I find it really hard to do. I like the lady quite a bit but just don't
want to trust her with my daughter. I guess she is some kind of compulsive
liar? I don't like it.
My little girl told me she was fat yesterday. I told her she wasn't and she
told me the babysitter told her she was fat. It doesn't bother me as much as the babysitter making up that she has cancer but I imagine my little girl is telling the truth and wonder why would this lady tell her she is fat???

I am sorry your having a difficult time it will get better. I have never encountered such as you at a meeting but me personally I would have a talk with the main lady and voice my concerns. Meetings are our safe havens and should stay that way. IMO
I am sorry that you have to go through this right now, but am glad that you feel
comfortable enough to be sharing and venting with us!
As to the 'babysitter' I would certainly tell the 'boss lady' about this woman/girl.
She is totally unstable to be watching anyone's children let alone your precious
little one.
If there are things you need for your home, go talk to Salvation Army, tell
them what is going on and that there are a few things you need for your home,
especially so your daughter feels comfortable, be it a bed for her and/or you,
kitchen table and some chairs, etc They can probably help you with a credit
to their Thrift Store so the expense will not be too great on your already stretched
budget.
Until you can get the babysitter problem resolved, you can hang out here with
us, lol and today being Wednesday, tonight at 9pm Eastern Time there is a
Friends and Family meeting here in our chat. I will PM you the 'password' to
get into the meeting room after you land in the general lobby.
Hang in there, it does get better, I promise!!!!
Love and hugs,

I'm not sure I can make it to the online meeting, tonight is my single mom meeting (not an alanon meeting, just a meeting about being a single mom). I get home around 9 and need to put my little girl to bed.

February, I don't know if your area has one but we also have a place called Christmas Charities here that help with furniture for those in need as well as the Salvation Army. Is there another meeting different day or time you could go to that has childcare? at least until this, is resolved. Hope we see you tonight.
