Busy week, just getting a chance to post while the kids are/were still asleep. The guardian attorney was here Friday afternoon and I think it went well. When she learned my mom was here that morning to watch the kids for me she asked her to stay and talked to her for quite an hour or so while I had the kids in the back yard. Then she came out and talked with me and the kids for about 45 minutes. She also interviewed my dad and sister earlier in the week.
She wants me to come in to her office again this week to discuss some things without my children around that "I may or may not be aware of." She told me she had w take a drug test because of her erratic behavior and that she passed. I also found out w is not moving into a house but an low income apartment. This really worries me with young kids! They have so much to do at my house and will go from that to being locked in an apartment, she's definitely not thinking of their wellbeing. I'm afraid they'll sit around playing video games and watching tv as this is all her siblings do (four of them in their 20s still live with her parents, no jobs, no social skills, don't drive, nada - completely under Mil's control. W was different and left at 15, that's where I got the adopted step-in laws, but w seems to be acting more and more like her mother since her mlc).
While the attorney was here we mostly stayed on the back deck as the kids were swimming and Jumping on the trampoline. She commented on the nice fenced yard and asked if I built the treehouse (which I get compliments on from anyone who sees it) so I think that is a good thing. She also looked at the kids bedroom and I'm sure at mine adjacent to it. The rest of the upstairs is open. She'd didn't go downstairs but asked me how many other bedrooms I had for when they get older. She asked if w had anytime with them during my 2 weeks and how we communicated. She also asked the kids some questions, like "do you miss your mom?" They said, no not really. I guess that's good for me but it made my stomach turn; that is so sad! How is w so blind to what she is doing to us? The attorney did comment to me that the kids seem to be doing very well for what she normally sees. That is sad because I see a lot of changes in them. Last night d went to her bed and faked being asleep when she called. I thought she was really going to bed since we had been skating at the rink all evening but after she came out and asked to watch a show. I tried to talk to her about it but she acted like nothing was wrong. They've also been sleeping with me about half the time, needing some extra attention.
I think my sister's interview went well. The attorney was asking her about different schedules etc., and about my character. I guess d6 told her I beat up her mom and held s over a cliff! She said s was telling her the whole time it wasn't true and w told her she was making it up too. Nice story to spin in this situation, lol. My parents said they thought theirs went well but I haven't had a chance to talk to them without the kids around yet.
Cali, it's so weird, I will see her and she'll look and sound awful, literally 10 years older, bags under her eyes, totally depressed, etc. and then the next time she will look like a different person but this whole thing has probably put 5 years on her.
AJ, I have been thinking about this before as I can see changes in both kids and a little regression with my s in regard to his asd. It's definitely something I've been pondering.
Bee, sorry you have the same problem. This is something the attorney talked to me about Friday. I think it is probably par for the course but it has to be hard on them. That day or two back to normalcy is sure rough but then they start acting like kids again instead of little adults. And for the eggs (there were quite a few of them) it probably was a coincidence and LBS crazy thoughts, just strange I didn't see any other egged cars.
