And the beat goes on.....

I'm sorry I haven't answered any comments on here lately. Things are just getting to be over-whelming in some ways. We are still dealing with the so-called court system and custody battles. I finally lost it today and stuck my nose in. The social worker is calling my son at work and his employers are getting a bit frustrated with it all. She (the social worker) knows I'm not intimidated by her so she won't talk to me....she won't even answer my messages. Instead she will bother my son at his place of employment. She's making some mistakes in her handling of my 3 year old granddaughter and its gotten on my last nerve. Today I made waves. BIG ones. This will probably cause another court hearing, but I've contacted my granddaughter's "lawyer" and advised him of what's going on. He agrees that the welfare and safety of the child should be foremost in the minds of these social workers and that just has not been the case lately. They are, instead, coddling my granddaughter's drug addled mother who has lost her other children to the State and who does not have physical custody of her. He has promised that he will talk to the judge and get back with us. I told him that I'm ready to go to my State Representative. Enough is enough!

Add to this huge pot of turmoil another big dosage of trouble from my daughter and her end of the family. Seems as though a guy her son knows, who is 19, has been kicked out of his house and also his grandparent's house. This guy is a loser. He doesn't have a job or a car or a diploma. His parents and grandparents are rich and have handed him money every time he asks for it for years now. He takes the money and gets high with it. They have enabled this for years and have finally had their fill. Last night he was knocking on all my daughter's doors and windows....wanting inside. She will not let him in her house any longer since rumor has it that he's on serious drugs (heroin) and she fears he will steal from her. Her dog was having such a fit last night, she went out in the back yard to check and found this guy in her little girl's playhouse. It was 1 in the morning. She didn't call the police on him, but did threaten to. He said he had no place to go. She offered to take him to a shelter but he didn't want to give up his drugs. He finally left. This guy wanted to take advantage of her kindness and was hoping she'd let him stay there. My daughter is a kind soul so even though she knows he's a loser I think she would have let him stay there for the night if it wasn't for his drug addictions. So today she has to consult our local police and find out what to do about him. No doubt in her mind that he will be back again tonight trying to find a place to stay. Even though there is a 2 year age difference, I wish my grandson would man up and just take care of this guy. My grandson outweighs him by 50 lbs. and is a head taller. I had a little talk with him a while ago about just that. We'll see what happens.

There are so many stresses in the world and the above stresses I have talked about have all been brought on my someone's stupidity....by being on drugs. That's the bottom line of it all and its so very sad. Its a domino effect and drug use hurts everyone.....those who do it as well as those associated with those who do it.....not to mention those who love them.

Tomorrow is another work day and then the blessed weekend is here. I have hopes of getting the border up in my bathroom this weekend. And my grandson starts work tomorrow. Yep, its a fast-food place but its a job and that will help him in so many ways. If he can keep the "loser" from hanging around begging for food. I already warned him he could lose his job over being too caring.
