[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 764666, member: 3305"] Well New Leaf and all of you…things are not going according to plan. So far this week my mom has tried repeatedly to get ahold of my grandson’s mom to get her to give us a caregiver power of attorney and immunization records that I need for school as well as Choctaw tribal benefits since we have Indian lineage. Mom has not been responsive. Her mom communicated with my mom last night that grandson’s mom had left the house and she didn’t know when she’d be back. Today at around 4:25 grandson’s mom texted me and told me she would be coming to pickup grandson tonight for a Dr appointment tomorrow. So I have no idea what’s going to happen tonight. I’m about to let my grandson know if anything happens or he feels suicidal he should call 911 immediately. Grandson told me from conversation he’s had with his mom in the past few days, that we are trying to brainwash him. He knows we aren’t. We repeatedly tell him the focus is on him having a future. This is so sad. I know she doesn’t love any of her children like she pretends to. But the reality as a child to know your parent doesn’t have your best interest at heart especially in lieu of the fact that his other parent is deceased, has got to be so devastating and depressing. When CPS interviewed grandson the other day he did tell them that at times he’s suicidal. He also told them how he would kill himself…an overdose. CPS had my mom get him an evaluation which she did through a suicide hotline. They came out to the house and interviewed him. Grandson was not in immediate danger but they did say he needs to see a psychiatrist and get counseling asap. So I’ve been trying to get information from his mom so that I can get him tribal benefits and healthcare as well as enroll him in school. But mom has not been cooperative and now she’s coming to get him tonight. This is a very fluid situation. Meanwhile things have been going great here at our house. Grandson and I cooked a meal together yesterday and I taught him how to do his laundry. This is a child who before we taught him didn’t even know how to cut a steak properly. Literally his mom has allowed her kids to exist while not doing much for them. Today my husband printed some division and multiplication sheets for him to work on. I think he will thrive here. Well correction. Grandson just let me know mom will be here in the morning to pick him up, so no drama tonight thank G-d! I hate evening drama. Reminds me of my 2 sons back in hellish days. So I’ll let y’all know how that goes. Also 14 year old granddaughter has let my grandson know that she is considering running away and that she doesn’t want to live there. I have let CPS know. They told me they are not in charge of custody. ??? I don’t think either my grandson or 14 year old granddaughter told CPS about their mom relapsing on Meth. Which is truly unfortunate but they are afraid mom will kill herself. Sad that the kids are more interested in their mom’s well being than their mom is for theirs. 😥 Thanks for listening and being here for me. And sharing your experiences. I pray for a positive outcome for all of our grandchildren. [/QUOTE]
