*Update*
I am not sure if anyone remembers me, but I had the drama with my sister and her son. I have an update!!! It is bitter sweet.
Sunday I got the opportunity to speak to my older sister. She had talk to her daughter and oldest son. After they explain to her that they no longer wanted to live with her, the Lord soften her heart.
On Sunday she told me that she was willing to do what is best for her two oldest children. Today she signed temporary custody of her son to my DH and I and temporary custody of her daughter to my parents.
I say it is bitter sweet because never in my wildest dreams I would think that she would allow some man to make her hit rock bottom. To the point her own children do not want to have anything to do with her. It breaks my heart. All I can do is hope and pray that she gets her life on track and be the mother she should be.
Thank you so much for all the advice. You ladies are wonderful!
Re: *Update*
It's a good update for a tough situation. You are a good person to take-in your nephew.
I will point out that some man didn't do this. She didn't allow some man to make her hit rock bottom. SHE did that. This is on her. Nobody else. She may have company, but she's responsible.
And she hasn't hit rock bottom yet. At least the kids are okay.
I say it is bitter sweet because never in my wildest dreams I would think that she would allow some man to make her hit rock bottom.
I'm very glad that she did the right thing for her kids at this moment. I'm glad they have a family like yours to step in for them BUT this man didnt make her do anything. She did this to herself. She is doing this to her kids, not him. Please do not lose sight of the real issue here which is her making bad choices, not some man focing her to do so.
