Today has royally sucked. I am not a happy camper. At all. It all kind of began Friday. Nina came home from school mad at her friend Katie because they were supposed to try out for the talent show after school Friday and Katie backed out. So Nina was really pissed off. Plus Nina's online boyfriend dumped her. Gave her some real bulls**t reasons for it then almost immediately began dating a girl where he lives and sent Nina a picture of them kissing. GRRR Ok, then there was the Winter Dance. Nina had gotten a gorgeous red dress for the event and we had her hair and nails done (Thanks to Jeff and Michael!!!) and she was drop dead gorgeous. And yes, she is 12. But she was drop dead gorgeous. Well, ends up her friends pretty much snubbed her at the dance. Then today she was trying talk to them (Katie and Johnica) online and they basically began saying really hateful stuff to her about how she's selfish and hateful, etc. We thought at first it was Katie's little brother who was doing it on Johnica's msn account but Nina later called to talk to Katie and Katie yelled at her about how she hated Nina and then hung up on her. And of course, we have no idea why this all came about. I am betting Johnica has something to do with it but I can't prove that. The sad thing is that I had promised Johnica that if I ever got the spare parts, I'd build her a computer of her own cause she always has to use her aunt's. I guess I will find another kid to give it to. I just don't understand why people have to be hateful like that. And I'm pretty sure Nina didn't do anything to deserve this. She was hysterically upset. I told her she didn't have to go to school tomorrow. Now some people would not agree with that, but they aren't in my shoes. I suffer from bipolar II and I'm pretty sure Nina's got it too. I see a lot of the same behavioural patterns in her that I had when I was her age. But the reason for it is because she needs a day to cool off and to not have to see these people. She's sad and angry and hurt all at the same time, to the point where she's making herself physically ill with it and even though she will have to see them Tuesday, I feel that a day off from having to see them will help keep things from erupting into violence when she does. I know if I had to see them tomorrow I would be sorely tempted to strangle them.
