Hopefully The End…But New Beginning

Ok, I’ve been thinking about this entry a lot, but haven’t found the time to actually sit down and type it. A lot has happened lately. For the most part it sucked, but it’s been for the good. I don’t even know where to start…I guess I should start from Wednesday night.
Wednesday night I get home from work and I’m just kinda sitting here relaxing a bit and my mom calls. At first it was nothing weird, she usually calls when she gets off work and what not. Well I answered the phone and could tell right off that she was upset. I knew it had something to do with my sister. I guess the few days before my sister had been really really nice to my mom like all this I love you crap and what not…which I know deep down my sister loves her family, but she’s NOT the type to express it very often, if at all. My mom kinda new something was up. Even Wednesday my sister showed up at my moms work and was all nice and what not because I guess she had gotten in a fight…like an all out fist fight with her friend that she was living with. My mom felt bad for her and what not, but that was it. I guess my sister called a while after that and was like begging my mom to just sign the papers to turn her over to a legal guardian of my sisters choice. My mom in the past had the attitude to just do it….but this time she told my sister that you don’t raise someone for 16 years to just turn them over to someone else. I guess my sister got all snotty and whoever she was with…one of her friends was in the background saying,”My mom will take care of you, you don’t need this bullshit”…my mom flipped. Which I can’t blame her…my mom doesn’t need to take that crap from some 16 year old punk! Especially, when it was none of her business. My mom went off on her..I mean she was saying some rude stuff, but I can’t blame her. Then my sister started in on how she f’n hates my mom and Jay’s an f’n whore and blah blah blah…but mom was now really getting pissed and just told my sister that she was reporting her as a runaway. Normally, with me my mom just threatened that, she never really did it…except for maybe once back in like middle school lol. So my mom reported her and the officer was suppose to call her back. After my sister calls and causes more trouble saying that she can’t be reported as a runaway because my mom knew where she was out..which come to find out is true. The officer was making me a little mad because he really wasn’t going to do much about it. He just said that since my mom knew where she was she couldn’t be reported. Which sucked! Finally they got Health and Welfare involved. My mom and dad had met with them earlier in the day to figure out some things, but they couldn’t get a hold of the lady they had met with. So he contacted whoever was on call and she called my mom. My mom explained the story of what was going on and how it all started and then she told her that she would go over with the officer and check the place out and talk to her. It took a couple hours, but she called back to tell us that my sister go no longer stay at that residence…we’re not sure if it’s because there were a much of minors their drinking and smoking, if it was just trashy, or if there were just too many people there. They had a long talk and I guess they figured it out to where my sister was going to go and stay at my grandmas. My sister must have said something about staying at my house because the next thing I know I’m wanted on the phone. I told them to let me make a phone call to call Matt and I’d call them back. So I did..I knew it would be fine for her to just stay one night, but I though I had better check. So I called to tell them that and she’s like let me talk to my coworker..so the entire conversation was back and forth and she asked me why we’d never let her stay at our house before and I just explained to her that we’d talked about it and we hadn’t because we didn’t think her attitude would change at all..so she gets off the phone for a minute and comes back and asks me what is wrong with her attitude and I just explain that she has a hard time with following rules and it just causes arguments. So then all of the sudden she’s saying that we don’t think it’s a good idea that she stays with you and says that they think it would be best if she was turned over to the state and put in a foster home…I was like what the heck…anyways she talks to my mom and that was all but decided..my mom pretty much had no choice. It really upset my mom she had said some things througout the night that weren’t very nice and she was regretting it. We had to wonder if my sister had said something that made them not want her to stay at my moms or anything. She had threatened to tell them Jay had sexually harassed her and what not. Everyone knows better than that. I think she had told them that she didn’t want to go stay with my mom because of Jay and she claims that at one point they had asked her if it was because of that and she CLAIMS that she said “No Jay would Never do that and blah blah blah”. it sounds like the social worker was causing a lot of problems because they told her that no one wanted her and all this crap. My mom was feeling like crap because she could do anything to help her. Her exact words “She’s probably so scared and I can’t do anything about it. I’ve never not been there when any of my babies have been scared.” It was a rough night…I didn’t get home and in bed til like after one and I cried all night. It brought the family closer together in a way because we just spent the night crying and hugging. I felt so bad for my sister…she’s young but smart. I mean she understands most things. She was like sooo confused. I just sat her down and tried to explain things to her the best I could. She came and stayed at my house that night and by the time we got home she was feeling better.
Well that’s only part of the story, but this is getting really long.
