[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 695277, member: 19522"] Thank you Pasa, prayers are powerful things, I pray the same. This is true, Albie. Every time they have come here, Volcano eventually follows and wreaks havoc in my home. I am not equipped to help, I have no control over the choices they both make. That has become crystal clear. I know that the best help is a DV shelter. Rules must be followed, counseling is offered for mother and children, perhaps rehab, but most of all hope and a clear way to climb out of the pit. That simply does not happen here. We all just get dragged into the muck. I made a promise to my son last summer as he lay crying, curled up in a ball. I promised him[I][B] no more[/B][/I], and I intend to keep that promise. Thank you Albie. Your kindness and prayers in your own time of need is so much appreciated. Ponygirl, as mine is with yours, thank you very much for that comfort. COM, I felt myself starting to spiral, and ruminate over and again....... the desperation.......then I said to myself "LEAFY! STOP! Okay, do [I]something if you must[/I]." That something turned into calling CPS. I am not equipped to step in. I spoke up to both parents, to my grands. That is the extent of my capability at this point. I know my limitations, I have absolutely [I][B]no control[/B][/I] over the situation. It is worse in my home. My focus has to be on my son. He is my responsibility. I love my daughter, my grands with all of my heart. They are HER responsibility. HER children. I hope and pray that she will see what is happening to them, to herself and [I]take steps to fix it. [/I] [B]There are resources and help out there that go far beyond what I can offer. [/B]My stepping in, offering my home, is a deterrent to that. That just prolongs the agony, infiltrates the peace of my home and prevents them from getting the proper help they need. This, I have to ruminate and spin on, not rescue mode. (Even as I write this, my stomach twists......) I wouldn't be human if I was not affected, I have to stop allowing myself to be [I]infected[/I]........ Thank you COM. It is the hardest part, the[I] what ifs[/I]........but, I do believe in a higher power and need to remind myself that I gave them all over to God. They were only on loan to me in the first place. I did the best job I could. With that, if I do have faith, than I must have faith that He is watching over them. Thank you so very much COM. It is a blessing to be here, I am very thankful for the wisdom, kindness and comfort offered. It is a light, on a dark, dark night. (((HUGS))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
