[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 754210, member: 19522"] Just a short update. Eldest grandson is living with his paternal aunty and uncle. I have had long conversations with aunty and she seems to be a solid soul. She is not sure how long he will stay, that depends on his behaviors as she has young ones of her own. He is receiving more intense therapy in their home so I am hoping that will break through his tough exterior to the root of his issues. I see him as a traumatized child acting out and covering over the hurt with a wall of bravado. Learned from what he has been subjected to throughout his life. He has an opportunity to change, hopefully he takes it. His uncle is telling him that if he doesn’t tow the line, the next stop is the boys home. I hope he listens and learns. My daughter (Tornado, grands biological mother) was recently picked up on a bench warrant and is in jail. Now, the social worker has access to her and will see if she wants services. The goal would still be reunification. That does not sit right with me. It would take some time for her to get clean, stay clean, then there is that chance for relapse. I would hate to see my grands going down that road again. It’s off to work for me and trying to focus on not spinning wheels over what may or may not be. One day at a time. Hugs to all, stay safe and warm! Leafy [/QUOTE]
