The Summer of Discontent

Summer has come AND GONE since my last post!! Time flies whether it is fun or not, huh??
It hasn't been just the blog that I had disappeared from, but the entire digi community!
I had dropped out of all my site and CT commitments also ...but a designer or two have left me with access and option to rejoin,(THANKS GIRLS!) so , hopefully, I will slowly get back into it.
Real life has been a total roller coaster ride for the last few months; but seems to have leveled out for now.(fingers crossed it continues)
synopsis:
First week of June saw my alcoholic hubby on a major binge, which turned ugly and violent. End result - arrest / removal from household / TPO
His blood alcohol level was 3.5 at time of arrest. Anyone else would have been unconscious , or even dead, from alcohol poisoning!
Then in July - the week we were to have our court hearing - my DD decided to take my granddaughter (who I have raised for the last 3 out of her 4 years) and,- BEHIND MY BACK - move in with her boyfriend. I woke up one day, and the contents of the bathroom were packed up...go to her room to ask what was going on, and the room was packed up! They moved out over the following 3 days. No notice - No thank you's - nothing. Talk about having your heart ripped out through a stab in the back!
At court, the TPO was continued, and DH went into a residential treatment center/hospital.
There I was - all alone, no income - abandoned.
Talk about depression and no desire to create!! That is when I dropped my CT's.
August found all of my bill payments bouncing due to DH's drinking.
I had lived in the apartment complex for 7 years, and they were agreeable to letting me give up my big apartment and move into a tiny one bedroom.
Meanwhile , Lost internet; Lost my cell phone.
Then one day mid-month, there stood my DD, asking to come back "home". Turns out the boyfriend's complex is adult only, and when they found out about my granddaughter being there, they said she had to leave.
I was already actively switching to the smaller apartment, and the 3 bedroom one was scheduled to be remodeled.
The owners said I could stop the transfer, but wanted me to pay the higher rent of the remodeled version - without the remodel!!
To complicate matters worse , DD had transferred HER job to the town her boyfriend lives in - 26 miles away. (She works for Walmart)
September came and we scrambled to move to an affordable place, close to her job.
Whew.....we did it!
Our new place is 1/2 of a duplex house.( upstairs )
Within the first week :
bathroom sink clogged / furnace does not work / hot water tank ruptured.
Does this cr@p ever end ???
Got the landlord to fix all that, and just got internet back !!!
My granddaughter is now going to pre-school half a day, 4 days a week.
Things are FINALLY leveling out....
