thank you! be assured that i'm going to hang in there with you. john
Well, our niece decided that she didn't like the rules here and, very out of the blue, decided she wanted to call her Mom and go back to living with her. She had recently just testified against her Mom, and in a court ordered family therapy session with her mom 4 days before this, had decided they would not continue that because the relationship was so broken that therapy was actually harmful. When she told us she wanted to call, we didn't stop her. They agreed that Mom would pick her up the next day. By that evening, she had completely changed her mind and wanted to stay with us. However, when her mom came to pick her up the next day, she wouldn't tell her she didn't want to go. We made it clear that if she left, she was not going to come back unless there was a safety issue. We also made it clear that we thought it was a bad decision. We've dealt with 2 1/2 years of the juvenile / children's services system and the family has spent over $30,000 in legal fees trying to protect these kids. I'm afraid that both kids are lost, but we tried. Thank you so much for your personal interest and responses. That support meant a lot to us. I'm still reading your books - I've got two more kids of my own that need to stay on track! Thanks again
