[QUOTE="Star*, post: 417223, member: 4964"] It could be that social services is smarter than M and K - and things will work out for the kids. I'm not holding my breath - but this manager of the apartments sounds like she's seen a LOT - and isn't letting a rat slip into her barn. As far as the rest of it Hound? This either will or won't be Katie and M's burden to bear. If your Grands are lucky? There will be enough intervention in their lives now so that they see how they are raised and WILL NOT carry on this lifestyle with their own families. You gotta admit this is a pretty rough way to live, and I'm sure -matter of fact I know after having so many disasters and being poor without any support - if you ask Dude now? He'll tell you he HATED handouts. He was happier getting stuff off the curb than having people give us stuff. He said if he found it? It made it more like it was his. Don't think that because things are given there still isn't a place in the kids's mind that makes them feel still just a little less than everyone - they know where the stuff came from, how they got it, WHY they got it. I feel really bad for them. I don't know whether Katie is mentally ill or lazy or both - bottom line is - it is what it is and three kids are getting drug through it...but somehow she's managed to drag them through it together and never farmed them out so at least they have each other. I guess there's good and bad in all of family struggles. I hope she really does well with this new start, I hope they all do. And I hope you get some rest. AND get their junk out of your house. lol. Hugs - okay extra hug. HHHHHHHHHHHUGGGGGGG. Star [/QUOTE]
