So I watched Captain America: The Winter Soldier a few nights ago with my girls, and since then I've spent pretty much every second in a rapidly deepening Stucky fic pit and crying over yet another life ruining ship.

Sometimes I really miss the good old days, where all I cared about was Spike/Buffy and rejoicing because Whedon actually occasionally delivered on his romantic subtext (never forgiving him for not going there with Faith/Buffy though).

I'm thinking that maybe someone should set up an OTP Anonymous. Maybe they could wean me off them with slowly worsening ships until I realise my life is better off without all these soul destroying feelings about fictional couples.

Except... Stucky, man. Stucky.

{{{Maddie}}} The blanket incident. And {{{you}}}!

Yeah, Ivy used to not let us wash her pillowcase. We'd have to sneak wash it while she was in the bath. LOL! She's gotten more easygoing about that with time. Our reluctance to use respite care stems more from the vast fear that, having a completely nonverbal and compliant child, there's such horrible potential for abuse. She'd never say or indicate if someone was harming her, and she wouldn't tell them no. We'll have to trust the person very much, and we don't trust easy. Sigh.

Yes, I understand completely about the wariness to trust people, and I'm lucky that one of my closest friends works with children with autism, and so I tend to go to her with any questions I have, and she was really good with helping Maddie get proper care during school hours. But I know a lot of parents in similar situations who just don't feel able to trust newcomers, which is completely understandable. And heartbreaking tbh, that this is the kind of world we live in where that has to be such a big concern. Sigh *hugs you all*
