Forgiveness

[antlers]

One other thing 25, my youngest daughter and I have eaten lunch together for the past 3 days. She told me when my son was suspended, one of her friends came over to hang out with him when he was alone at his mom's house for those days that he was suspended. This boy is one year older than my son, he's in my daughters grade and used to go to school with her before he got kicked out of school for the year...for getting caught multiple times skipping class to smoke weed. His other friend that comes over to hang out with him and run around late at night got arrested yesterday for stealing laptops from a friends house. My son has NO supervision at all anymore. None. My niece who is 26 got a call from him very late the other night, on a school night, to see if she could give him a ride from where he was (not home) to somewhere else. He is basically 'running wild'. When the teachers at our failed team meeting at the school found out from me that my son was running around with the boy who got arrested...they all got an immediate look of dismay on their faces, and voiced their concerns...because they are all familiar with him. He is kicked out of school for the entire year also. And was the year before that too.
My daughter runs with a rough crowd also. Those are the words her mother used when she ran away recently. When I told her mom that very thing back in December, she accused me of fabricating that "lie". My daughter texted me over the weekend and said she was "cruising" with 4 other hispanic boys (one of them 20) and was in a neighboring town. She told me today that the 20 year old called her at 3 o'clock this morning. She admitted that her mother was "at home with Steve" while she was out late with this bunch. My daughter's boyfriend was over at her house until 3:30 in the morning last Saturday night (per my daughter). She said her mom and 'Steve' were in her bedroom. It is truly a messed up situation. My kids are running wild. Neither of them have any supervision. My daughter says her mom is gone all the time.
My concern for my kids is genuine. And my effort to get cooperation from their mom regarding their well being was genuine also.
