[QUOTE="ksm, post: 766262, member: 12511"] Our granddaughter will be coming home on Monday. This past Sunday she was baptized at the church the women in the rehab home attends. She seems like she is finally looking towards the future and having goals and plans. I think she will be at our home from Monday to the weekend. I hope she will then be moving into an Oxford House for women and children. We both know that having her son 24/7 is something that would be overwhelming. I hope she can gradually have her son with her the majority of the time. On Monday this week our grandsons dad went back to jail for more domestic violence. On the weekend he defied the no contact order and has more charges against him. He hid out for 3 days to avoid arrest before his dad convinced him to turn himself in. It's scary to know she's returning back to this environment and people she knows in our town. But I also know that law enforcement is not going to let her leave the area because of what the court ordered her to do to complete her diversion and keep from having a felony. Once she's home, she'll need to find a job, get into an Oxford House, and go through her belongings in her old room. It's an overwhelming amount of clothes and clutter. While she's been gone we've tried to get rid of actual trash, and divide the clothes up into boxes. I put all the socks in a box. Bras and underwear in a box. And I sorted all the clothes into like items so she could maybe go through things quickly. But I refuse to wash everything. Most of stuff seemed clean but didn't fit and it just kept growing into files she couldn't wear. I'm hoping for the best but trying to keep my expectation level low. Ksm [/QUOTE]
