I am not sure if I am doing right or not. I don't think there is a right way to handle this situation. I am doing what is suggested to me under these situations. 1) abbie receives a little over $600.00 a month from social security, by the 6th or 7th of each month it is gone. 2) she will go to the hospitals and get her fix. 3) she took off with a Felon, stayed in a tent with him. He is on a tether, or rather, was. she met up with him in AA, she sunk her teeth into him and he thought her social security looked good enough to support them. so he cut off his tether and they took off, for a night. he called me..she called me. 4) she then took off with another person, I have no idea who, and I got a text she is in canton. 5)she missed a probation appointment today. I am sure a bench warrant will follow. 6) she was back drinking the same day as she was released from detox.
no more contact with her. not going to answer her texts, not going to answer her phone calls. she hasn't spoke with the kids for a week or more. they aren't asking for her. They seem less stressed.
I don't know what I will do when they do ask about her. I called community mental health today. waiting for a call back. I think the kids and I could all use some counseling.
none of this is easy. and the fact a few physical problems cause great pain for me to me on the move all the time , makes its darn near impossible.
I hate treating my daughter like this, especially when she is so sick. she cannot take care of her own basic needs. she needs to stop the madness and drinking and drugging and all that goes with it. I can subject these children to thinking that their mother is doing her best to get better and them be a family again. morgan doesn't really remember living with her or her dad. how sad.
what a mess . I need to move on with kids and no daughter. for now it must be this way. she is only using me.
