Please pray for my sister. She's been in a bad relationship for nearly 10 years. They have a child together. She is looking for a place of her own now. She had already decided to leave him and then found out that he has been having a relationship with a married woman and she is that more determind to get out now that she knows this. But in the mean time she is still in the home with him even though I've offered for her to stay with us until she finds her own place.It's a big house and she don't see him most of the time since he's working and she leaves when he gets home. But I'm concerned about her daughter even more than her. She is being neglected because my sister is having such a hard time dealing with what's going on. She has been hanging out with a girl that is really wild. She has lost her child for this reason. But she is now a big influence on my sister. They go out on drinking binges and do I don't know what else. I usually have my niece here with me when they do this but she needs her mommy. I was very upset the other day when I went to pick Helen up to stay the night with us. My sister was sitting in the chair with Helen beside her and out of the blue she thumped Helen in the head. And HARD. I heard the thump!! Of course she cried and it made her mad so she yelled at her mom and then got in trouble for that. While I dont' condone disrespecting adults I absolutely don't approve of provoking a child to anger and then getting onto them for being mad. And I have seen her do this kind of thing before. For some reason I REALLY wanted to jump down my sisters throat for that one! I don't know how to handle whats going on with the two of them. I know I should say something to her about it. But I'm afraid she will get mad at me and not let Helen come around. This is the only stable environment she has right now. She is a totally differant child here with us. She has no disapline at home and no set bedtime. Here she does and she is played with by both me and my husband as well as the kids. She calls us mom and dad. And my kids are her brothers and sisters. It's just a sad situation. :cry: Pray for us all Angela
Angela, what a sad situation. Could you possibly ask her to let your neice stay with you until she gets her self together? It would be so nice if she could stay with you. I know with my grandchildren, my daughter had ask me to keep them until... Well, until never came and I am so thankful.
Praying here also. I agree, that if it would not be to much more for you, that offering to have your neice to stay with you for awhile might be best right now.
unfortunatly she won't let her stay here. She lets her visit but she wants her with her for the most part. Her boyfriend told her last night that she needed to get her stuff and get out so it's official now. She called last night from a motel room and told me this after I offered for her to stay here. I think the problem is the girl that she's hanging out with. She is still there and Amanda can't seem to shake loose of her. Sam doesn't even have a job and so Amanda has been buying her food and paying for her to stay in the motels with her. Sam is a cousin of ours but I don't really know her all that well. Mostly because I don't like to be around the things she is doing. Helen is with her Granky(daddy's Grandma).And she is going to bible school. She just went to bible school with my kids as well so she is hopefully getting a good feel for the things of God. Such a sweet little thing. I just love her to pieces. I honestly think that if Sam was to go "home" than Amanda would be a lot better off. She doesn't do the things she does until Sam comes around. Sam doesn't have a place to go to though and I WILL NOT open my home to her. ONLY Amanda and Helen. Amanda's car is broke down now so We'll probably have to go and get her. She will eventually run out of money and have to find somewhere to stay. I hope and pray that she comes here and not to some of our other relatives homes. That are into the same wild lifestyles that Sam is influencing her into. I'm leaving it to God now. Keep praying. Thanks Angela
