Update on sister/neice

[Needhelp59]

To all my precious friends here let me update you on my long, long night.Got to S. Services and my sis and her husband were there.  She was hysterical - not in a violent way but in a "dear God, what have I done" way.  They were actually allowed to talk to CPS, and I do have custody for now of teh baby and the 3 teenage boys (2 of these boys are his from a prior marriage and have MD.)  I did not carry in the drugs, but she admitted everything.  She said it started with coke months ago and lately had been using meth and some coke.  She also admitted to using pills whenever she could get them, and fessed up about the debt.  Her husband truly had no clue.  They both agreed with the worker that I should take the children, so that was good,.  She begged us to help her find help.  Could this be her bottom??  My 82 year old dad was there, and I think her watching his tearful reaction on top of mine and the kids caught her off guard.  I told her I would love and keep those children until she gets better, but she will not get them back a minute sooner than that.  I told her I love her too, but not enough to let her destroy her beautiful family.  Her husband has taken the rest of the week off - they say they are going to look into long term treatment facility for her.  Also I told him I think he and the kids need help as well, especially the boys.  He agreed but wants to get her settled first.  They are pretty well off, and have insurance, so hopefully this is all doable.  I asked him when she is situated in a treatment center I want to go thru that house.  I want to find every suspect item and get rid of it.  I don't want to get my hope up, but is it possible this can turn around.  I slept with my neice last night and we cuddled.  This morninig she told me she loved me but wished I knew more about Dora?   Who the heck is Dora???

Also, I saw a post from someone maybe insinuating this is made up?  Thanks for the vote of confidene but my imagination isn't that good.  Also, this hasn't been "so fast" - I have been posting on this since October 27.   I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.  Please continue to pray for me, and let me know your thoughts.  Love to you all!!

Dora the explorer!

Dora is very educational, and what everyone else said is true about the show. My kids loved her when they were younger (even my son). There is also Blue's Clues which is educational and many others. I have you in my prayers. Hope it all works out for you.

I am so sorry that you are going thru all this.  I am proud of you for stepping up to the plate and going the extra mile for your niece and nephews.  I will be praying for you and your sis and family.  Dora is called Dora the explorer.  And she is on nick jr. Little girls do love her. and as maggil said she speakes in english and spanish.  

God bless you and I know He will ~ peace to you!! :)

I just joined yesterday and was worried about my problem but after coming in this morning it just goes to show,"There is always someone worse off than yourself" and honey, you are in my prayers. I can't even imagine what this must be like for you. I bet that like you said this may be her rock bottom so there's no way to go now but UP!! That would be WONDERFUL. (smile)
By the way, Dora is a cartoon on I believe Nickelodeon that little children (especially little girls) LOVE. She talks in English & then repeats in Spanish so it is very educational for them. I believe she has a boy cousin (?) named Domingo and she has a monkey I believe his name is boots and they go on lots of adventures.
Take care & feel blessed that so many care about you & yours.

WOW, I'm actually surprised that she was openly admitting everything!  That's great news...I think.  Especially with social services involved...well, you are handling things very well.  This was a very disturbing story, with innocent children involved and at risk, it always is....I hope this is her bottom...take care Auntie-you are a God sent!!!  Keep us updated!!! We're here for you always....
