This summer is going to be rough. I am writing cause I need the outlet and getting a bit emotional. Reason for the emotions...my daughter will be having 2 procedures done this summer and I will most likely not be around for either. Not being around for her really upsets me.
In June, she gets 2 teeth extracted. Her upper front teeth to be exact. Not unexpected, but I still want to be there when she goes into the office to have it done. I will see her the next day. Then a day or so later I have to leave because of work.
In late July or early August, this is the one that kills me. My daughter will be having her Tonsils and Adnoids removed to help her with her sleep apnea. Again, not unexpected. But this one is a big procedure. At least in my eyes. She will be under anesthesia and I really should be there to talk her through everything I can. I am much better at communicating with my daughter than my ex-wife is. Nothing personal, but the ex is not the most compassionate person.
I have some time to really think about what I will be able to do and what I need to do for my daughter and for me. My daughter is my life and I really feel that I need to be there.
What I am afraid of is that I may lose my position with work if I take the time. I know due to the Family Leave Act that I should not lose my spot, but employment is funny these days and I can't trust anyone right now when it comes to a job. It seems that the person I am working for right now will be willing to work with me, but until I have something in writing...I trust no one.
I have to be there for my daughter...just don't know if I can and that kills me.
