[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 310552, member: 84"] I'm as jaded as you are Janet. And I've decided in dealing with K and her husband/boyfriend.....that's a [B]good[/B] thing. I told her I am going to send the kids halloween cards......wanted to make certain they hadn't moved yet before I sent them......This is true. But it also gave me a bit of deviousness to discover just how quickly this move is supposed to take place. Evidently quick enough she doesn't want me to risk sending cards until after they get the new place. I have a strong feeling they're being kicked out of yet another motel.....whether for lack of money or other reasons. Winter is well on the way. I don't doubt K has real worries about being homeless in the winter. I'm also wondering about this church helping them thing. I know churches do this sort of thing. BUT K has told me countless times she's gone to churches for help and they've turned her down flat due to lack of funds because so many are out of work there.......Now suddenly she has one willing to help. Of course she may never have tried the churches before and was just giving me an excuse. It's possible Alex has disability. He qualifies for it. I know she was attempting to get it for him. Perhaps he got approved. Not that it would be a bad thing. I'm the one who encouraged her to get it for him. I don't worry about living in the same town as K. I have no problem putting boundaries into place just as I have with my other grown kids. And I realize now that I wasn't as detached the first time around as I thought I was. I made mistakes and I'm not afraid to admit to them. Nor do I intend to repeat them. They replay in my mind whether I'm talking to K on the phone or via email. You burn me once, you [B][I]never[/I][/B] get the opportunity to do so again. That's just the way I am. But if she does have someone willing to transport her here.......she may never have that opportunity again. This may be her 2nd chance.......and as we all know, those are rare to come by. Nichole came over this morning to do her laundry. Paying me is waaaay cheaper than the laundry mat. lol So we talked. She's ok with it. And I was both glad and releaved she was looking at the possible situation realistically. She did clear up one point. Evidently there are lots of jobs here in fast food. She just didn't want to work it unless forced to. (don't blame her) Plus she said half the employees at the factory where she works can't read.......so it would be possible K's husband/boyfriend could work there. Reading is not a big issue around here. Lots of people in this area can't read.....we have programs for that, many. Getting ready to yak with easy child.
