Today seems to be a better day.. My husband actually seemed in love with me and my daughters didnt go slamming doors around the house, maybe tomorrow will be a better day...
OMG! Im must be losing my mind. As if I didn't have enough children of my own I go ahead and take one more in. Not only is this my 14 year olds friend, (the one that has yet to gove me the most heahaches), but she is also a problem child. The young girls mother is a drug attic w/ HIV and Cancer. Mom is living in a independent care facility and since mom has been doing so bad the caregivers there wanted her to find a safe place to go to. Guess where she went? Yup my house. I am really confused though! Her sister I spoke to told me that the girl has pretty much burned her bridges with other family member and no one wants to deal with her anymore. She is fast and has a serious attitude. But what can you expect with a child that has been bounced around from home to home, has watched her mother get high, prostitute, and was molested at a very young age!! On the other hand her mother's cargiver has told me she is a very nice girl and gave her no problems. I know I can't through her out on the street but I also know that I have my own kids that I need to deal with. I have been taking my 14 yr old to therapy for the past month and it has helped so much... I dont want this situation to influence her in a negative way. All our hard work will go right down the drain. Now dont get me wrong the girl has not disrespected me or my home in anyway... But I really need to find a solution for her ASAP... Something that well help support her needs not continue to hurt her. I'm also afraid I might get to attached... Any advice out there?
