Emergency prayer request. My best friend Rose is getting custody of her grandson. Parents both prefer drugs. He is 10 does have some behavior problems. Husband was a POW in Nam. Told her today choose him or the boy😭
Wow, poor Rose. That’s a tough spot to be in. I know a couple who spent their retirement years raising 4 grandchildren for the same reason. It was very hard on them, but they had each other to lean on.
No. Sadly that his father has done a lot of psychological damage to the boy. He refuses to work and tells the boy that if grandma didn’t take care of him he’ll be living on the street.
I love her nephew he’s a cute little guy. But he need someone to sit on him. Mom keeps him promising to see him and something more important comes up. Rose gives him soda cans $0.10 in Oregon and his dad steals them. He has done nothing to get medical or dental care for him and refuses to get a job. Rose is it for him. John has PTSD.
My thoughts are with them all. Are they in a financial position to help her grandson Beyond what the foster care system will provide? I hope so because he probably needs counseling and I can say with first-hand knowledge, the counselors they provide are not equipped to deal with complex situations, at least in this state.
Very sad. I’m glad someone is stepping in. I’ve seen too many times where the state didn’t when they should’ve. There were even family members willing to raise the kids as their own without any financial help from the state.
My grandparents raised me. My mom had me young. She was more interested in men and drugs than raising me. When I was 9 or 10, my biological dad wanted custody of me. I’d barely seen him. My grandparents lawyer told him he’d have to pay child support that he hadn’t for about 8 or 9 years. Or he could sign over his rights.

She made a vow to her husband too. It sounds like this kid "needs" far more help than she will ever be able to give him. At 10 years of age the horrible years are just starting for a kid with issues. Her husband obviously knows it would not work out for the 3 of them together.
She did loose two from the same daughter. Ones in Kentucky and she can talk once in a great while. What is here and it’s open adoption so she can see him.
I'm sorry. It's truly awful how some people treat children and what they think of them. I was hoping his grandparents had the financial resources but if they don't they can work with the foster care system and hope it goes well. I'm sure he does need counseling; that's terrible, terrible stuff he's gone through.
