As you know, I had to kick my daughter out of our home. I haven't seen them since 9 October. I have been following her on FB. She posted a picture of her mugshot. Who does that? She was then soliciting for free baby formula. The previous day (Friday) she was trying to find someone to purchase percocet from. So, she has money for the pills but not the formula...
I emailed my grandson's school principal and gave her a rundown. She then told me that my grandson hasn't been to school since 18 October. They had called and was told he had an asthma attack. I've dealt with his asthma attacks. He's had ample time to recover. She also told me that he wasn't in school today.
She will get her school liaison involved and gave me the number to the family advocacy program that's on base. I called, she pulled up my daughter's fb page. She felt we had enough to go on. I then called PMO (military police) to do a welfare check. No one was home (I thought maybe she had taken him to school but when I called it was not the case).
Oh, forgot to mention that she told a mutual friend that I had taken the kids. When questioned, she retracted the lie and said it was "a long story." She needed money not a friend.
Led by the Lord, I then called DSS and filed a report. All I can do is wait and pray. I kind of feel like I've betrayed her by putting her business out there but then I thought, wait SHE put her business out there!

Tracy,
Yes she was putting her business out there and if you hadn't intervened someone else would sooner or later. You have to do what you can to protect the children. Your daughter is very unhappy.
These days schools take child welfare very seriously. It is good to get reporting authorities involved so that it doesn't look as if you are just complaining.
You have not betrayed her. You are trying to help her. Stay strong.

I have been told under no uncertain terms that I can no longer see the children and that she hates me and I won't even go into the language used towards me. Its all covered though. The Lord is working and moving and I am going to sit and wait and keep living. Things are in motion and the wheels are turning. I just pray she gets help and repentance before its too late. I'm also praying that some true, godly friends will be prayer intercessors and that they will try to steer her away from making a spectacle of herself. One friend only told her that her true friends would not encourage her to act like she was acting but would try to talk reasonably with her. No more comments have been made. She's hurting and angry and ill and I'm in constant prayer for her and her family. I will see my grandchildren again and I will see her healed spiritually, mentally and physically.
Thanks for your prayers, they are much needed and appreciated!

Tracy,
My heart goes out to you and I will continue praying that things work out for you, your daughter and her family soon. You have tried so hard. I believe this fits in the Tough Love category. You have tried nuturing and sharing your home and your daughter isn't ready or able to accept what needs to be. Maybe it will take others getting involved to make her realize how her babies need her and that she CAN be there for them.

| I am so sorry that your going through such a trial with your daughter, but you know that your doing the right thing by protecting your grandchildren. And trying to protect her. Love her, pray for her, sometimes when they are ready to submit is when the resistence to our love is the most spiteful and hurtful. Take care of yourself to include your own spirit in asking the Lord for strength and guidance. You are in a war for the well being of your family. Love to you and yours and you will be in my thoughts. |
