The director of special education did not show up to our IEP this week. It made the meeting a whole lot less contentious. It didn’t hurt that they assigned a much more experienced teacher to DS and our advocate showed up and kept everyone in line. Should it take that much work/effort/stress? Absolutely not! I will never understand how anyone is getting services if we cannot with all of the privileges we have personally been afforded.

DH and I talked to Ms. 6 this week. It could be worse, but it’s not great. She bought herself a car or someone else did, but it seems no one cares if she has insurance (legally required). I told her to call and get some quotes. She has not.

She has a boyfriend she met online that no one has vetted. He’s older (no idea how much older) as he has his own place. He lives three hours away in a neighboring state, but Ms. 6 couldn’t remember which city he lives in. She goes to see him on the weekends despite the fact that no one has met him or vetted him. It’s killing me! She was very vague on the details regarding what he does for a living.

Her car seems some basic repairs. Her grandpa has been a semi truck driver for decades. Hasn’t helped her with the repairs. Boyfriend is maybe some kind of mechanic but is unable to help with repairs. Mom is driving Ms. 6’s uninsured car and teaching Ms. 6 how to do donuts in it.

Ms. 6 said she applied to a PA program. When I pointed out that the PA program she applied for is a masters program (aren’t they all?) that cost $109k for the 28 month program, she seemed shocked and unimpressed. I did do a conference call with her and the high school this week to try to sort out her graduation.

Ms. 6 had knee surgery last week. I offered to be available and make the three hour drive to take her. She said her mom was taking her. The night before surgery her mom said she had to work and couldn’t take her. Grandma said she couldn’t take her because she had already take a sick day that week. Mom’s BF drove her, but apparently doesn’t like hospitals so he didn’t sit in the room and wait for Ms. 6 to be taken back to surgery. Surgery was pushed back several hours. Now mom doesn’t want to take her to the post-op appointment because the dogs have a vet appointment.

Post surgery, Ms. 6 was prescribed narcotics. Mom is an addict. Is she currently using? I have no idea but she used for at least a decade and has a conviction for cooking meth with the intent to sell. Kids were removed for many reasons including heroin use. Ms. 6 said the “oxy” isn’t managing her pain so she asked the nurse for something else AND an oxy refill. The pharmacist wouldn’t give both to mom. Mom told Ms. 6 it’s because they don’t have the same last name. I pointed out that I also don’t share the same last name as anyone in our family, and we were also recently denied a narcotic at the pharmacy. It is clear that no one that she has contact with lives in their thinking brains—they are all convinced that they are victims of one system or another.

Ms. 6 also quit her job. She said it was because they were making her do too much work.

Ms. 6 really wants contact with the other kids, particularly NB at this point. We have withheld that so far but can’t really articulate why. I think because it doesn’t feel healthy or good, and things don’t necessarily feel stable with her between DH and myself and her. I’ve talked to her a handful of times in the past month which are the first times I’ve spoken to her since she left in August. Anyone have experience in this area? Is it wrong for us to feel it out as parents before we open that relationship back up to siblings? It’s not my intention to use them as pawns, but it probably feels that way to Ms. 6. The kids here have not asked to see her, and DS and DD are actively continuing to say that they don’t want to have contact.

I’m trying to be something for her but that all feels very temporary and complicated right now. I sent her a small care package today via mail and am going to offer up some services for her like connecting her with colleges, but am trying to hold tight to a lot of boundaries at this point.

I felt a little guilty/anxious cuz I feel like I should be working on stuff for my classes, especially get to working on essays for my online English literature class that I haven’t even started yet and prepare for my admissions interview for that master’s entry nursing program on Thursday, but I’m gonna relax this weekend and do work starting on Monday. I’ve been so busy since the spring semester started and my sleep schedule/quality has been worse than usual, one weekend off to relax a little won’t be the end of things

Hey if u don’t mind my asking is there anywhere we can find ur dissertation? :)

It's not published to any online platform yet. To summarize, it's on how the diagnosis of shell-shock served to stigmatize those who received the diagnosis, and how that stigma was often attached to gender. For instance, in France shell-shock was known as "male hysteria." In other cases, men who were diagnosed were subjected to electroshocks, or were denied the pension they had earned by fighting in war. Peter Leese, Fiona Reid, and Elaine Showalter have covered this topic in detail. In my work, I'm concentrating on how women and gender non-conforming people wrote about the diagnosis as a critique of gender norms.

Here, you can find a tiny sampling of my writing, mostly available for free online!

Tutoring, minus bigotry! LGBT writers, SafeZone tutors, and brave spaces within the rural writing center. Praxis: A Writing Center Journal, 19(1). https://www.praxisuwc.com/191-bunting

This piece uses community research and empirical interviews to study how writing centers can do better in including LGBT+ writers.

“A Kind of Ecstasy”: Queer Moments and the Power of the Closet in Mrs. Dalloway.

This is my thesis from my master's degree. It is on the closet in Mrs. Dalloway, and explores how the characters of Clarissa Dalloway and Septimus Smith navigate queer moments from their past.

"Fragments of A Great Confusion”: The Psychological War Sketches of Mary Borden is my short article in the journal Lost Modernists, on the writing of WWI nurse Mary Borden.

Finally, my piece "Walking With Woolf" is a piece on my experience in visiting Virginia Woolf's home in Sussex!

As is the nature of doing a long degree, I've published a lot of little pieces throughout my time in my program, and I hope to eventually publish a book!
