Beckys Mom wants to have a special talk with us this weekend
Background: Six years ago Becky's husband went to jail. Becky had 4 kids, no job and no savings. Her kids ended up in foster homes. Becky's mom gained legal guardianship over Becky's kids. She's taken care of them for 3 months by herself, and she stole $400 from Becky to do it.
1) Her mom and her brother kicked Becky out in February. Becky was paying rent, supplying food and insurance for the kids. I took Becky in. She and her brother openned, signed and cashed one of Becky's checks ($400) that came in the mail.
2) She took over Becky's kids. Becky's Mom and brother started to say Becky was a bad mom because she didn't walk her kids to school. I walked out when they said this..
3) She told Becky she could see the kids. But she had to be supervised and get permission.
4) She tried to get child support from Becky, which was stupid. Becky doesn't have a job. Becky's mom's standards have kept Becky from working. Becky's mom was always threatening her, and putting her down and using whatever leverage she had to hurt Becky.
5) She asked us to take the kids one Saturday. She called at at 10am, asked us if we wanted the kids. We said sure. Then she asked when, we said noonish. Then she asked us how about every Saturday.
5) She asked us to take care of them for four days. She had a total hysterectomy. Its been four weeks.
6) Now she wants to abandon them. I can practically see that knife behind her back when she hugs me.
This month has been totally ruined. Running those kids across town twice a day in a six hour period has destroyed the weekdays. This talk is going to end in an argument. She kicked Becky out of her hole, took it over and now she wants us to clean it up.
