[QUOTE="myfirstandlast, post: 383601, member: 3420"] The update to this is that after she moved back with her mom, she returned to the same friends that were trouble before, missed a lot of school and failed most of her classes. She'd post photos of herself online, clearly under the influence of something, running around at all hours of the night, and then be "sick" the next day and not go to school. She was about to quit school, 10th grade. And then she wound up pregnant. Switched over to the alternative ed school. Continued to miss a lot of class, barely passed to the next grade. In fact I don't understand how she passed, she missed class about a third of the time, but that's how they operate I guess. Fortunately, it seems she was able to quit partying, although I really was worried she would continue, just more sneaky. Things didn't work out with the father. She has another boyfriend who seems to be a good influence. She had her baby last month. She's still living at home and her bio-mom is struggling. Baby daddy is not in the picture. She was supposed to go back to school today but I see she didn't. Don't know what's up there. Our relationship has never been the same. She and her dad are okay though. Baby is big and healthy. Boyfriend seems to be a good kid. Whether she stays away from drugs remains to be seen. She was supposed to be breastfeeding but isn't. Lots of excuses for why she's not... latest being she is on some medications from her doctor for a month and then she can breastfeed again... but she's not pumping... soooooo that pretty much makes no sense. That was the one thing I was hoping would keep her clean for a while longer. Not attending school as we were told. Not even a half day total out of the past four days. I warned hubby that he will hear screaming when we stop paying support to her mother when she turns 18 if she's not in school. (Been paying support voluntarily since she moved back with her mom, there is no court order since we waived support when she moved in with us.) She was hinting that she was needing money last time we saw her and the baby. Said she was out of diapers and needed more on the way home. Said she can't get on any assistance because it would reduce her mom's assistance. Looking for an apartment, but has no job. I'm afraid reality hasn't quite hit home yet. [/QUOTE]
