,

I have not posted for a while because I didnt think that I should be

doing so much posting about , tha you all would be getting very

tired of hearing all about it.

Things have not improved, only worsening. She does have a husband

and with out him, I really dont know what she or the kids would do.

He is on disability with a deteriorating spine and not able to get

around very well, but he does all that he can and does his best with

helping the kids out. He lacks cooking skills, but always did do

the dishes and the cleaning of the place. But even tho, it is my

daughter that he says things about, I understand it. He is at the

end of his rope also. I just learned today that the truant officer

has been coming in regard to the little boy not attending school.

And there has been a case worker called in to investigate the

circumstances. All she has suggested is that they need parenting

skills. That is not true, they were and he is a good parent. I do

know this woman and I am going to try to talk to her about the whole

situation. I know that both kids have been really sick with bad

colds and to the dr, but the little boy was not going to school

before this happened. He was taken to school by the truant

officer. My grandaughter is the opposite, she does not want to miss

school. She called me again last night and said as soon as school

is out that she is moving in here. I am not sure how that will work

out as I have an ill husband with a bad heart. I will try it tho,

if she feels that need to get away from there so badly.

I did write the Dr and tried to explain how bad things have gotten

but have not heard from him as of yet. He may not even do a thing

about it all.

I have called the local mental health group some time ago and it

needs to be done by her husband. I talked to him today about it and

I know he really hates to have to do it. So I am not sure where

that will lead.

My daughter and soninlaw were very good parents until all this

illness with both of them happened.

I dont think anyone will ever really know what this is doing to

me,,,i eat sleep and live with it daily, it is never away from me.

Sometimes I have to just take a break from it myself if even for a

few minutes.

I am going to call the caseworker and try to see if I can talk to

her and maybe she will know what could be done to help out.

Thanks for caring and I do agree with everything you have said.
