My CEO 66

66 I Trust No One (Winona)

Wanting to believe everything will be okay and actually believing it are two different things. Inside me the doubt and stress over Abby's health is ever present. If it was only that, I'd probably cope better.

But I'd be incredibly stupid to think that all is going to be rosy with Judy and Ashlyn. We may get a six-month respite, though I doubt it will last that long, but they will both just be planning their next step to remove me from their lives.

My emotions are fraught with the thought of losing Abby to something I have no control over. I need to make sure every second here is worth it for her. We've been here a week and Jayden and I are out tidying my garden while she naps. "I'm considering home-schooling Abby." I say as he pulls weeds.

"Why?"

"I have a lot of time on my hands, and it would be easier on her." I clip half-heartedly at the unruly hedge.

Jayden wipes his hands on his denim shorts. "It might be easier, but I think it would also be limiting."

"There's a lot more I can do than a school does. Plus, I can stay with her."

"Exactly."

"Do you have a point?"

"You can stay with her and that's what this is really about." Jayden takes my hand. "I get that you don't want to let her out of your sight but every kid needs social activity."

"I can take her to meet other kids, play with them, do activities." I protest and remove my hand from his. "Winona, this is your choice. I'll support you, but we have to think of Abby. A lot of her life is going to be in the hospital. She needs to feel like she has a life outside of that and us."

"But we can keep her safer."

"We can also give her social anxiety and lack of self-confidence."
