Jo, Thanks. I read your update this morning, I am sorry to hear that you are in tears. I am sending a "hug from Texas" to you. I hope you feel better soon, you have so many good things you are doing, which will help you pull through the down times.
I still care for XW very much, I pray that she will get help for herself. The main reason she has these mental illnesses is because of her brother, then her father and third her mother. The thing I worry about is I don't think she knows how seriously she needs help.
She made this comment to me that reflects the inability to understand how things really are. "Jdd what have I done that CPS won't leave me alone, I have not done anything to hurt my children?
My response was "I think you should talk to CPS about your concerns."
Jo, you know from reading my thread what the sit. is. She still has dog feces in the house because she just won't get rid of the last two dogs. She brings drug addicts in to live with her and the kids, she leaves them alone with these people. She uses very poor judgement with their safety, her own safety and money issues.
An elderly friend of mine told me, "Jdd have you been able to help her get better? How long have you been trying? If you could have helped her don't you think she would have made some progress?
He said "you need to seperate yourself from the problem, so you take care of yourself and the children"
He is 110% correct, even though it totally breaks my heart, I can no longer help her. Nothing inmproves, there is just one crisis after another. When I have moved and can not help her with any of her problems, I pray that she will get help for herself before she gets hurt.
I have loved her for a very longtime so the things I have to do now are going to be extremely hard. I guess its called "tuff love"
Jo, I pray for your happiness and sucess, may God bless you and your family.
