[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 714964, member: 19522"] Mahalo nui (thank you very very much) everyone, for your kind words and encouragement. I apologize for not replying in a timely manner, just so darn busy and exhausted. I will look into your suggested resources. There are two weeks of summer vacation left and I am wondering "What now?" I feel terrible sending these kids back to their miserable circumstance. Tornado has been coming and going, here and there, same old, same old. I am feeling that sickening sense of exasperation. She finally came through with the EBT, only to finagle it back, disappearing and blowing most of it. What kind of mother steals from her own children? It is mind boggling. The kids and I worked hard to pick avocados and raise movie money. Came home to find a note in my drawer, Tornado "borrowed" the money for some "emergency". We had canoe races yesterday, she knew I would not be home. I feel so stupid for leaving it there, then I chastise myself for feeling that way. It's my home, I should be able to leave money, valuables without concern it would be stolen. Worse than that, is the audacity and utter disrespect and disregard. It cuts to the quick. I feel used and violated. I hate this, and I don't use that word often. I have a lot to pray and think about. I am getting sucked back into the swirly whirly and it is so not where I want to be. Ugh. Tired Leaf [/QUOTE]
