Last court battle is still going on. Not sure when that will end, but blissfully ignoring it over holiday. Time to start back in, but HUGE resistance to diving back into legal documents. I have to see if I have everything in the computer..... so many. Hard to say, but soon will be neck deep in it.

About the g/s/d free. When I was going through custody trial I sought out highly recommended nutritionist who saw entire family on emergency basis. Also oldest dd dx'd with whole body inflammation.... like she had a big infection. Her fasting insulin levels were through the roof while her sugar levels were normal. Last year she was dx'd with lyme disease, so now we know what the infection was.

Nutritionist prescribed supplements, and forbid all g/s/d.... not even a bite of fruit. "Sugar feeds everything bad in the body". We were eating between 14 and 16oz of protein 3 times a day. That's a lot of food, more than we were used to eating, and we could eat all the veggies we wanted, but gf carbs allowed once a week ONLY.

Really tough, but the inflammation in oldest dd started falling off like magic.... I could see it clearly in her face. People were commenting. My mind cleared, and unintentional consequence of losing 20 lbs had me back in old favorite clothes..... eating plan made a big difference for us, but hard hard hard to break dairy habit for oldest child.

Interesting that eating plan didn't make much difference, if any, for youngest child. She doesn't seem to have the sensitivities that oldest dd and I have, but she knows eating healthier is better for her.

Last year oldest dd was dx'd with lyme disease,and elevated heavy metal panel, which explained the whole body infection/inflammation results we couldn't explain.

I can't say enough about original nutritionist and eating plan. Our new doc is more about eating all organic, which isn't really working for us.

Can't wait to read you're moving away from your mother, and all the troublesome memories in that neighborhood. Maybe you can go without making forwarding address easy to find?

Sorry camper is leaking, Tupp.

Be brave.

I hadn't realised there was still a case going on I thought they'd all stopped. Sorry. I know what you mean about the paperwork, I've boxes and boxes to go through and the thought of having to read that crap isn't appealing.

Amazing that diets can have such an effect and isn't it funny when you have a number of children and one of them doesn't have the same problem? So much that doesn't seem obvious but has such a big impact. And not easy to find out about, conventional healthcare seems to miss a lot of those sort of things.

Am not planning on telling anyone around here that we're going. Aiming to just leave, change mobile number, I'm not really on any social media sites or anything like that so that's not a problem. Will have mail redirected so that utility companies and so on don't have new address. And planning on just going for six months initially and looking for a different place in that time; aim is to just get away from here and get back to the area I've got some friends in (long distance from here). Excited about the possibility of just having some fun and not constantly being on the alert all the time :) x

Hi Tupp:

I meant to write 14 to 16grams of protein, not oz. Good grief.... that would be nuts.

Yes, oldest shares some of her father's and paternal gf's dna in regard to metabolic syndrome/insulin resistance. She's also been dx'd with leaky gut, low stomach acid (which made it impossible to digest all that protein,) and asthma, which her father had.

She needed 3 sets of braces, bc her roots didn't dissolve, and her teeth came in behind baby teeth.... also needs vision correction. Little sister hasn't needed either to this point.... very different children.

When you move, maybe you could request e-bills?

I'm looking forward reading about your upcoming moving adventure!

Go Tupp; )

Lol, my undertstanding of metric versus imperial is very limited so I hadn't even noticed that :) Your poor D, it's very hard, I think, for a child who has lots of different problems, although I expect they link together in some way and influence each other. But the endless appointments and research and trying to figure out what is making them unwell is exhausting, I think. I'm glad the diet is making a difference, although it is a lot of extra work and I know situations with my son sometimes I just yearn to be able to just do something without having to think or plan or organise it first. I've tried it a few times and it's always a disaster so I know not to now.

Yes, most of my life is organised online these days which makes everything so much easier. We'll just use mobile broadband as well so no need for contracts or a landline; fewer ways to be tracked down and I am looking forward to that feeling of being free again, it's been a really long time and in my head I already feel like we've moved? It's funny, but something has definitely shifted and it just feels like it's happening now, I can't really explain it. I keep feeling a bit weird and wondering what it is and then realising it's excitement! It's been such a long time since I felt it that I don't recognise it straight away :) xx

Sorry the van's leaking. Blown away that you have realized you CAN move!

And very inspired by your stick-to-it-ivness, Tupp.

Thank you too for your tales of organization. I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed to take that in.

love

Hops, I think you might have cracked the food thing! I thought about it a lot last night, felt very tired, got a bit tearful. I'd forgotten what a horrible time meal times where when I was little. Something else came to me and I realised this might be significant, but it was a big family meal after I'd 'come out' about my step-dad and revealed all. I'd got very depressed afterwards and couldn't look after my son terribly well (he was very young at the time; I have realised since then that me doing a not brilliant job is still a lot better than a lot of other people's best efforts but the old perfection streak was in play and because I wasn't well enough to be Mary Poppins I thought I couldn't manage). My mum and sister helped out - without them it would have been foster care - but one of the conditions was that I 'take back' what I said about my step-dad. I had to apologise to him - I can't believe I'm writing this, or that I did it, but my mind was such a mess and I was so tired that my mum did manage to convince me that I'd imagined it all for a while. I suppose in a way if you speak out and the reaction is very negative it is easier to say you were wrong instead of facing your entire family turning on you. Anyway, there was a family meal, after I'd spoken out and recanted, me, my three sisters, their partners, an assortment of grandchildren and my parents, obviously. It was time to leave; my step-dad was taking the dogs out for a walk and I was going to be leaving before he came back so we said our goodbyes and he kissed me, full on the lips, in front of everyone. Not a friendly kiss, or a father/daughter kiss, but the way I kiss boyfriends - anyone else I kiss on the cheek (and it's usually the air, isn't it, not even the cheek). No one said a word; I looked around for validation and they were all looking down at their plates and he looked at me then and I just knew that that was exactly why he'd done what he did - he knew no-one would stop him or challenge him and he knew no-one would back me up. Fucker. I never went to their house again after that, my mum and I fell out again quite soon afterwards and it was pretty much the beginning of the end as far as me and my mum were concerned. But interestingly, that all happened around the meal table and it got me thinking that perhaps that is why I have always preferred to eat off my lap in front of the telly instead of sitting down for a meal. Anyway - it seems to have shifted things again, so thank you for that! I got up and prepped all the food for today, I've put dinner in the slow cooker, took some bits out of the freezer for tomorrow and I didn't get moody or shifty so perhaps it's all linked in together and you saying that has made it pop up and go away. Our minds are funny things. Thank you :) x
