I m glad i am most of the time at home. She never says it but she needs me. She needs the reassurance i will be there. Sometimes this makes me scared. what if cant be home a lot. What if i find a job for 40 hours a week. Thats not even possible because i have to be there for her.
She has appointments to go to a Doctor. Every week we have to go somewhere that has to do with ther headache. A 16 year old should go shopping with her mom to spend a nice day together, we drive to docters and back. I sit most of that time in the waitingroom, while she is talking about her feelings and problems.
When was the last time we really had fun? i asked myself.
Fun of most 16 years old nowadays is about WhatsApp on her phone playing computergames or watch gamers on youtube.
What happened to evening of entertainment like playing bordgames and stuff?
It's hard to even make some smalltalk. I try to but everything I say is dumn and unimportant. I certainly don't know what i'm talking about.
Last thursday was again a bad day. She stayed home the day before so i cinvinced her to go to school. Just one hour later the first message came in.
'hi mum, can i come home i have a lot of headache.' it was 9:00 am
The rest of the week she didn't go to school. Hockeygame on saterday, babysitting in the evening. Going late till bed and so she is still not getting better.
Today monday, message from her lying still in bed: I can't go because headache is to much. So thats day 4 of absence. Not seeing friends, not learning her lessons.
And thats where we at, at 2 1/2 years after the crash. No improvement what so ever.... Every week one or two days attending school. Will it be enough till graduation?
