Dh is on his way home. He really went over there to bat for the kids! His sister is back in town but she said she might go back to her boyfriend.
I am really sad, and really glad at the same time. He is bringing home the 10 year old and the 4 year old.
Dh is really upset though because he could not talk the fifteen year old into moving. She has a job there and a boyfriend and does not want to leave. Dh said she reminded him of a grown woman, and she seems to have given up on depending on anyone else to take care of her. The 13 year old has been living with her father for the past year and Dh went over to check on her. He says he knows she would have a better life here but that she was not in any danger where she is.
Dh said his sister did not even put up a fight for the boys, he basicaly just told her they were coming here to live and she said OK.
So I will be sorounded by boys. I also care for my 8 year old and 1 year old nephew during the day, so that is 6 boys all day...lol. Guess I

Thank you so much for being there for these children and I wish you the best.
God Bless,

Thank you so much for the encouragment. Already I see little things in the boys that they never had before. I almost cried when alex(10) said " We are going to eat lunch?" "We never eat lunch!" They are used to making their own breakfast and just hope someone brings them something for dinner!...let me stop that since I don't want to start crying and freak the kids out...don't want them to think I am an emotional basket case..LOL
You know , someone made a post today where you added things about yourself, and one of them was...what is your greatest accomplishment? I should have said that breaking the cycle of abuse and neglect in my family is my BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENT! Both Dh and I talk a lot about how we have overcome our childhoods to become parents we would have wanted!
I wanted to say I am so proud of you to!!!!! I always love to read your posts and love how you are with your kids!!
