katie did message me that M has supposedly moved to the homeless shelter. She says she's selling the computer and getting rid of the internet. It reminds her of what he's done and she doesn't want it in the apartment. M is supposed to be going to counseling, and the shelter put this into his care plan thing. (yeah right, he was supposedly already doing that) Her neighbor and friend she says let her and the kids spend the night because M wouldn't leave. Tomorrow she says she's going to get him removed from the lease.
Now as much as I'd like to believe he's out, I don't. And I doubt she's getting rid of the internet or the computer.....unless it's to dump incriminating evidence. Because if you remove the problem.....and we all know for sure he's the problem (she's a maybe in this dept), then what is the point of getting rid of the computer? And this is the only way she communicates with us, god forbid she pick up a phone. But she says she'll do it on the office computer.
She's said she doesn't think she or the kids will attend the halloween party because they're too "upset". First thing that came to all our minds was that he is still there and she's scared the kids will let the cat out of the bag.
Nothing about contacting anyone to see what she should do about it. Not a peep. That speaks volumes. (at least to me)
I told her I hope she decides to attend the party as it would lift their spirits and make them all feel better to have family around them. I didn't push the issue. I didn't do any Oh, I'm so sorry blah blah and I know you hurt blah blah.......nope. I'm not and I'm not gonna pretend to be.
She has no clue I made my report this morning as far as I know. We intend to keep it that way.
Like I said, I'm not buying her story. It's just too easy. I find it impossible to believe that M just gave up his cushy lil spot there without a fight or digging in his heels.
Personally I think she's attempting to cover her fanny and smooth things over with me by making me *think* she's doing what she should be doing.......and either thinking I'm so stupid I'm going to buy it after her repeated refusal to do anything in the past 3 yrs, or until they can split town. I think she believes by doing this I won't take steps to protect the kids because I'll be thinking she has. Know what I mean??
I'm not going to push her to go to the party. However easy child said if she doesn't, then she's going to get a blasting from easy child to rival what nichole and I have given her. Ok, then. (lol) I am going to attempt to stay out of the drama of this mess as much as possible. I'm not emotionally or even mentally up to it right now. Honestly if it had been any other officer than the one who spoke with me the day husband died.....I probably wouldn't have done well in the interview at all.
Frankly it's been one thing after another thing for the past couple of years and I am just spent. I do want the grandkids in a safe environment where they're well cared for, but I don't want custody, honestly a therapeutic foster home would be in order just to fix some of the warped family dynamics going on if nothing else.
And I'm so wiped I forgot to go get me the ingredients for that tall stiff drink on my way home tonight.
