Stacey--- You mad the right decision for your family. I know that it has to be hard, but you will be able to still see her often right and thigs will get better at home. Are you getting help with your son? ↑

yea im getting in home workers at the end of this month hes had it before but it needs to be ongoing so hopefully by the time this baby comes we will at least be on a routine and i can have my family back he did well with his workers before but hopefully they can keep it on going ↑

that will be good for you guys. I know that with autism having a set routine is a must. I use to work with a little boy who was autistic and it would only take one incident to through him off for the entire day. ↑

So this is your third baby right? Are you going to have your daughter come home once he gets better aquainted? It must be hard having a baby and an autistic child. Things will all work out for thebest I am sure. Are you single also?
Sorry if I am asking to many personal questions/. ↑

So your ex is ok for her to come for a while but still live with you after the baby comes? That is great, most of the time when its done its done. Will you be going to court for all of it or just doing this on your own? I wish you he best sounds like you are really taking great responcibility here even though it is obviously breaking your heart. ↑

no no court me and my ex are still very close we are good friends he lives 6 hrs away so it will be tough but he has would do anything to help me out as much as he could anyways ↑

That is so good. I am sure he will let you visit as often as possible too. How old is Tasha? ↑

Wow I didn't realize that your ex lived so far away. That would be very very hard. It is so wonderful that the 2 of you still have such a great relationship and both want what is best for your daughter. I am sure that it seems normal to you but I can asure you that most relationships are not this way. What a blessing you have. I will keep your family in my prayers. It is just so very nice to hear a story like this. I don't mean that it is nice that you are having a hard time and your daughter is going to stay 6hrs away. I mean that it is so nice to see two people (you and your ex) really really work together as good parents fo the betterment of your family. ↑

yes thats right but i assure u it wasnt always like this we just figured out this isnt about us its about the kids and now we are such good friends ↑

That is great. I wish my husband and his ex were like that. He is, but she is a much mroe bitter person and it really effects the children. ↑

i know we both acted very childish at first but then we saw what we were doing and its crazy some of us adults act like children ↑
