[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 754960, member: 17720"] I’m sorry to read you are in the maelstrom again, Leafy. Quote “thingie” not working, but what you said about your Hubs giving Tornado a place to shower and do some laundry brought tears to my eyes. “My” Hubs did the very same thing for Son on many occasions. None of us “deserve” this, but you least of all. You have been such a kind and caring soul to Hubs, your children, your grandchildren, and the people on this forum—and I’m sure more people I don’t know about! I too don’t think a month is enough time to bring about a change in Tornado. I am sorry if this is pessimistic, but I think at this point Tornado is probably thinking only of getting out and getting back to the lifestyle. I know Son, who was in jail for longer than Tornado while awaiting a plea several years ago, showed his head had only BEGUN to clear after weeks and weeks, and he was not as entrenched as Tornado in meth. I hope she has changed, but realistically I must doubt it. As far as the social worker, my Hubs is an attorney and once represented a woman whose ex-husband picked their daughter up from school and disappeared for EIGHT YEARS. Names and pics on the posters at Walmart finally led to his arrest and extradition back to the States. Hubs was hired to make sure Dad didn’t have the chance to abduct the daughter again. Between Dad’s legal team and the social workers, Hubs had a hard-fought battle of it. The courts and social workers are almost ALWAYS going to favor reunification. I think you are spot-on in getting the grandkids’ counselor involved— and perhaps a guardian ad litem involved as well? I try to remember that moments of clarity can happen at the most unlikely of times, and I dearly hope this is that time for Tornado If not, I am so sorry you are called once again to be the one to toe a line that is not of your making. You and your grands are in my prayers, dear Leafy. [/QUOTE]
