[QUOTE="donna723, post: 412716, member: 1883"] Lisa, I agree with everything Star just said! At this point, unless you have some kind of confrontation or intervention with her (them?) now, she will sit right there till the very last day, thinking that surely you and husband will come riding in like the cavalry at the very last minute and rescue them all! Let her know in no uncertain terms that that's not gonna happen and if they don't get off their butts RIGHT NOW, they will be out in the streets and they [U]WILL[/U] lose custody of their kids! If you set her straight right now, that gives them about a week and a half(?) to hit the streets and try to find a job - any job! There's a lot of burgers out there that need flipping! Nursing homes are usually always looking for people! There's construction work out there, and I know for a fact that many times restaurants will hire people with felony convictions. In our system, many of the guys who are on work release have been placed in restaurant jobs. I hope you can make it clear to them that you simply can't (won't!) bail them out this time and that what happens now is entirely up to them. If you can, do it face to face so she can't just ignore you or not respond! Really put her on the spot! But if you did this, do you think they will just take the kids and hit the road? Would the shelter staff be able to prevent this? [/QUOTE]
