What a week, already! I quit. I want to curl up in a ball and just cry untill there is nothing left of the stress and pain.
Saturday I was at my best friend's house. She lives with a 57 year old man who is like a father to her. He opened his arms to her whole family (4 kids, her fiance and herself) This says alot about charactor. Her two oldest were visiting their father at an on-suite thing at her mothers house. (He is a known user who is claiming to be clean). Her room mate came home from work early and went to bed at 630ish. By 7pm he was snoring.
So we had a couple drinks, sang a couple songs and had a blast. At 1130 we were wondering why he hasn't woken up from his nap yet. My friend went in to check on him, and started screaming. The only thing I can compare her screams to, is when my grandmother died infront of my mom, when I was 10. Having first aid me and my DH went to check on him. He was stiff.
Long story short, I now have my best friends second youngest (2) staying with me and my SD. Her older brother (4) comes to visit once he wakes up. He's staying at my mom's down the street. My best friend (BF) is starting to get her stuff together and get over what happened. Then last night we get a call from her sister, who is watching BFs oldest girl (6). Some idiot called CPS saying that my BF is drinking infront of the kids and putting them in danger. THE KIDS ARE ALL WITH RELATIVES! Oh and her room mate died from excessive drinking over a long period of time. She has sworn off alchol and probably for the better. It would not help her to drink right now. So yea.. Here's the count...
Saw the first dead body of my life
He was a friend
Watching my BF temporarly lose her mind
Keeping two of her kids so she can settle down
CPS called on a wonderful mother and they are looking into it. (Which is way more then they did to the BM of my SD, who pretty much had kiddy porn on her FB)
Oh yea and I have the sole custody trial tomorrow.

It can only go up from here right?

CPS is a load of bs most of the time, the never really help the ones who really need it but are more than willing to go mess up the lives of people who are doing nothing wrong. Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying that my mother is a saint, however, the took my sister (16) from her because she missed 3 physc appointments. My mother was in the hospital having surgery and that is the reason she missed the appointments, it was an emergency surgery. They make no sense to me. Other stuff happened with that too but still as long as she does what she is supposed to and is a good parent she should have nothing to worry about. I am sorry for all the stress that is going on in your situation but you are right, it can only go up from there!

Thetis... Please don't walk under any ladders or let any black cats cross your path. Don't break any mirrors or open any umbrellas in your home. Don't go on any 13th floors, and on the 13th of this month -stay in bed!!

I'm not trying to make light of your situation. But shit girl... when that much happens... you can either laugh at the world, or cry.

I would say that things can only look up for you... but I'm afraid if I do.... your BM may become a lesbian and try to steal you from your man. Or she may want to move in.

Chin up... stay strong. I'm sorry to hear about your friend and I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. He died in bed, sleeping. He was lucky in that regard. He died after hearing you and your friend - surrounded by love - in his living room. It sounds like he just went to sleep to not wake up..... Try to focus on the positives.... even though there aren't that many right now.

** Hugs to you ***

*** A rainbow just threw up on me... and now I'm sh*tting glitter! ***

Thank you. And just for everyone I'm laughing as I cry so I'm getting it both out.

It just sucks, doesn't it? I wish I could give you a real hug right now!! Tell your man to take care of that for me when you see him, okay?
