[QUOTE="PennyFromTheBlock, post: 716928, member: 18271"] Saturday update: I can feel myself starting to have some anxiety about what will happen tomorrow. They are supposed to bring the baby to me when she goes to work around 7 p.m.-ish and I don't know how that will happen- who will come? Do I say anything? I so badly want to tell Bonnie (i.e. Bonnie and Clyde=Son and girlfriend) that she has to understand that this is serious. Neither my daughter nor I, aside from MORALLY having an obligation to report, have a contractual obligation to report since we signed a service plan with the state- That if it's an issue, then DON'T DO ANYTHING that would get you in trouble! It's so simple! Or do I just stay quiet, and just go on. I don't believe she will mouth off at me, she DOES know I'm not the one to go there with- but she needs to understand that Monday-Wednesday evenings, she'll be dropped off with my daughter- and I need NO trouble. I'm also having to talk my daughter, who is a smart and loving individual, but has her buttons too- that it's not about her, me, them, it's about the baby. I'm trying to find a friend who maybe would be available to be here during those dropoffs. If I can't, then I've told my daughter to set her phone to record and put it in her pocket (not where it's obvious)- just for her own safety. I just don't understand any of this. I've tried so hard to do so much for them both. I've tried to be supportive. She, Bonnie, is actually not a horrible person when she and my son are not together- but there is something about the two of them 'together' in their 'us against the world' mentality that makes them both hard to even deal with. I have a younger brother that my son is so much like it's scary. We all (my mother, my other brother, and myself) all tend to walk on eggshells with him (we really only see him at holidays) because he's just not someone that's fun to be around. There is always a big sigh of relief when he leaves. My daughter mentioned last night that how 'we are' with my youngest brother' is how she will be with her brother. That makes me so sad- because I at least have GoodBrother and she has no one else. /sigh. Just need some good vibes and maybe some ideas on how to deal with the dropoff tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
