My Single Mom Life

When I got home from the ER tonight, Mark told me that he's ok with it all now, he's ok with the spine issues that he has.
He said that he woke up today and it was like a switch got flipped on, and he's decided that he's not going to let it ruin his life or stop him from doing something to help others.
He knows that he can't be a police officer, but he still wants to work with people, for people, to help people in some way in the civilian service industry.
He's talking doing crime scene investigations, dispatcher work, managing people, or maybe even getting some fire service training for some work.

He knows he can't physically be a fireman, but he can do administrative work, dispatching, he can get a masters in public safety administration too, he has a lot of options so he's open to checking out many different things now rather than his previous attitude of giving up on everything including his own life.

He said he wants to get his drivers license now where before he didn't even want to do that, and he also said that he wants to get a part time job of some sort while he takes some classes at MCC, which is now calling itself State College of Florida.
He was on the site today looking at what kind of classes they offer in public safety, he said he found some classes that are interesting to him, so he would like my help filling out his school applications and the financial aide forms as well.
He's finally at the point of acceptance with all of this, and I am soo happy to hear him say that!
It was so hard watching him be depressed and angry, it was hell getting into arguments with him over him lashing out at Sebastian and I, to hear him say he's ready to move forward is just so awesome I can't even tell you!
Tomorrow, I'm going to do the best I can to help him fill out applications for everything that he needs at MCC, get the info on the driving class so he can get his license, and everything else too.
This is such good news!
Yay!! (*applause*)
