Update

Life seems to be slowing down a bit. My nephew as of today he is 82 days clean and sober. As of last week because my schedule was so busy with my daughter and granddaughter he took his entire check and got himself and his vehicle legal and is now on the road. Although I am very worried about him and I pray for him continually, it's time to let him fly on his own, I am very proud of him.

The girl and her 5 children that moved in with me to escape domestic violence is a the right track. She has a job and has applied to live in housing based on her income. However, CPS is coming to my house in the morning to make sure her living conditions are okay (it's funny that the person that inflects violence calls CPS). I'm hoping everything will go well we are all doing our extra cleaning tonight.

My oldest daughter isn't doing so well she is still staying with an abusive jerk, she is still taking the blame for it every time it happens and she is still telling me I don't understand. The sad part is that she watched me go through the abuse and the recovery and there isn't anything holding her there. She isn't married to him, she doesn't have any children, most of her things are still at home, but she loves him. Love was never an issue with me, I always felt trapped, I never thought I could make it on my own. Stranger things have happened I did make it and I am making it not without a lot of help, but I am doing it.

Then I have my 12 year old that I'm not sure what to do with her. I have never seen a kid with less ambition or energy she does absolutely nothing. She got out of school yesterday. Her mission for the day was to pick up her room so that I could wash it down after I worked for 5 hours. She had people in the house, she didn't do anything in her room and since everyone has been escorted out she has been laying on her bed. This one is going to take a lot of patience!
