Boy, where to start? I have never talked about my jacked up sisters, but here goes nothing. I found out Saturday that my younger sister (2 years younger than me) who has 3 kids out of wedlock (a 13 year old, a 3 year old, and a 1 year old), who was living with the father of the two youngest children ran off last Thursday. She supposedly went to run an errand and never came back. It has since been discovered that she is on drugs again and has run off with a new guy. My grandmother who drives a limousine a couple of days a week for one of the casinos in town saw her today at the casino. My grandmother didn't know anything about any of this, and said she "looked real good, and had lost some weight" and was with her new boyfriend and was planning on picking up my 13 year old niece this coming Saturday. Her losing some weight just confirms to me that she is on drugs. Also, my other younger sister was seen with her, which again confirms to me that the two of them are on some kind of drug binge or whatever you call it.
I called Child Pro.tec.tive Ser.vic.es on Sunday to report all this and they are "assessing" it. I have told them that my husband and I are able to take in the children if they need to be placed somewhere. I don't know what is going through my sister's mind. Apparently, she has decided to abandon her babies and take my older niece into her drug-induced new random guy life. Lord help them all. The old boyfriend is no good either. He doesn't work and sleeps all day and supposedly gets a "disability" check for who knows what. Looks perfectly able to work to me.
So, I need prayers that my 13 year old niece is removed immediately from that home and placed with my mom, and that whatever is best for the babies happens. This is all stressing me out, and I certainly don't need stress in my life. And I can't even imagine what those poor children are going through.
Oh man! I'm so sorry you have to deal with this, and I'm so sorry for those dear children. Hopefully takes the call seriously and intervenes ASAP.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing we have in common...my DH's sister had a lot of similar issues, we called CPS to report her, etc. I wonder what other similarities we have??
And all the while that you're praying for the innocent children you're asking God, why can't I conceive and become a parent if she can?? I wouldn't do that do my children, I'd raise them to know You, etc. I've been there. Saying extra prayers for you and everyone tonight.
Oh my goodness, this sounds horrible! Thank goodness though that those children have you in their lives. I will pray for your family, sounds like a rough situation all around. Thankfully you can bring some sanity to the situation.
ReplyDeleteThat is craziness! As JBTC stated, your family is lucky to have you as a stable figure. I am sorry you are going through all of this. It is so amazing how people (i.e. your sister) can rationalize their behavior to not only others but themselves. Extra prayers for you, friend.
ReplyDeleteOh dear Lord! I agree with PW, your family is so blessed to have a stable person like you!
ReplyDeletePraying for you and your family!
Oh my! Sending many many prayers your way!!! Wow :(.
ReplyDeleteWow, I am so sorry. You know it seems like a lot of us dealing with IF have crazy family drama in some way or another. My Mom and BIL make me crazy...therapy helps. Prayers of course!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear this. So sad and tragic. Praying those kids are moved quickly!
ReplyDeleteOh no, what a terrible situation! I'll pray. Good thing those kids have you!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I am so sorry to hear this. I'll be praying for you and the kiddos.
