Okay so the theme of the month is taking in strays. We have a friend of Sara’s that has been staying with us for 3 weeks now. Her parents are let’s say interesting people and they got into a fight once again but instead of being mentally abused and giving in Sara’s friend left. They gave the normal do it or leave speech and this time she took them up on the leave part. No complaints here she is a sweet, polite young lady and good for Sara. Sara has been doing her home work and not wandering around the town as much.
So if my 16 year old daughter left the house from a fight I am thinking I would be looking to find out where she was and showing up at the door and try to work things out. Well this young ladies parents have called her 2 times in the last 3 weeks and only to fight and reminder her its all her fault.
It breaks my heart that anybody can be giving the gift of a child and that there are some many that abuse that gift.
My dilemma now is where I go from here. There are a lot of long term issues that will need to be addressed if this is to go on for much longer. Its hard to know where the line is and how to deal with it.
I can’t keep going out and getting replacement children when one leaves for college haha. We jokingly sent Ian a picture the second day she was here and said we have replaced him not realizing at that point it would be this long.
Well I can not complain that life is not interesting around here.
