She's gone again.

Baby mama let H's daughter leave with a friend Sunday night & she didn't come home again. I can't believe BM is so stupid. Anyway, there is now serious talk of her coming to live with us. If that happens, it will be very stressful for us & a big time test of our marriage. I would really appreciate continued T&P.

Re: She's gone again.

  • Sad  Sorry to hear about the continued trouble.  Your family will be in my thoughts.
  • Thinking of you and your family.  It sounds like a real challenge. 
  • Wow what a difficult situation.  Sounds like you and H are really looking out for the daughter's best interest- good for you.  How old is the daughter?

    She's 15. She obviously doesn't want to stay with her mom & she's said she doesn't want to stay with us either. Sounds like she might end up with a nice stay at juvenile detention.

    This winter I read a book that you might find helpful as you navigate this situation.  It is called, "Hear My Story: Understanding the Cries of Troubled Youth" by Dean Borgman.  I couldn't put it down!  And the chapters can also be read alone so you can skip around to the stuff that pertains the most to you.  Here's the amazon link if you are interested. 

    Keep us updated!

  • My niece kind of did the same thing. She couldn't get her act together and wasn't going to school so her PO put her in juve for a while. Then she got out and went to her dads, that lasted a few months. Then she went to live with some friends and got kicked out and now she is back at her dads. My older sister can't even control her. And this was a sweet and innocent child 10 years ago. Hang in there - prayers for you.
