This post will be short because I am so weary and so very tired. Problems have already started with my step-daughter and her new baby. The things that are going on are worse that we had ever anticipated. We are  not sleeping. My husband is having chest pains and I am having heart palpitations. My stomach is in knots.  Child Protective Services is involved but that is just the beginning of the problems. As I said in my last post, I can't even begin to write it all down. And what can me and my husband do? Nothing. We can't do a thing.

  2. Oh you poor darlings, what a terrible set of events happening, when it should all have been just about loving the new born.!. Thank god she arrived safe and sound, and looks a little beauty.. I feel for you and your husband, for the helplessness you are feeling in the face of the situation. It will resolve itself in its own time. You will have an empty void if baby is taken away for safety reasons, but hopefully they could look kindly on you being her backup and leave baby with you all... what ever happens, that little girl deserves the best she can get and if that means with another family, you will have to wipe your eyes and hope all will be well.. this in no way makes it easy, but we all have our own roads, and your stepdaughter has chosen hers, and because of that your little one is having a road chosen for her. I am sending you lots and lots of love and hugs and hope that it will calm down and be worked out.. your mum might be away from you now, be sure she is there in spirit... when you love your kids as much as she did, she will never be far away.. Thinking of you all, janzi

  4. Birdie, I am so sorry, all I can say is just...take a step back and try to breathe. I know that this is painful to you and your husband but this is not your battle to fight. It was a difficult situation from the start and you have done everything you can. Do NOT let it affect your health or your marriage. Sending much love and prayers your way...

  6. I have nothing wise to say. I'm nearly 50 soon and I still feel as if I know nothing. I think some people are born wise, not me.

    Like others have said before me, if I were you I'd take care of myself, my husband and my kids at home first.

    So sorry.

  10. A rough start for an innocent little soul. What a terrible way to begin life's journey. How sad. I hope it sorts itself out for all of you, but particularly for that little one.

  13. Oh Birdie, life is such a mess sometimes. Your one True North must be what seems to offer the best outcome for the baby.

  15. I have nothing useful to say - just that I am so sorry to hear about such a rough start for all of you. Keep yourselves healthy if you can - otherwise you definitely won't have the strength to get through this. Hugs.

    Love each other. Love each other. Love each other.

    It's better if Child Protective Services are there than if they are NOT there. At least the child has a chance then.

    Breathe. The Universe will do what it does. Hang tight, miss.
