I went back to Alice to see my grandparents and my uncle and aunt, yesterday.

I was in the right place at the right time.  And I am glad I got involved when I need too.

OK, my sister story.........

My sister has been dating this Loser.  I wrote about it a while back.  He gets into drugs and has hit my sister made her black and blue.  She always went back with him.  Well, the kids had final enough of this living that they all decide to move with their dad.  My sister is divorce too.....  Funny only the girls in the family are divorce, and she was divorce the same year I was.

Well, Melinda acted like she did not know why the kids felt this way, and she was saying that their father was buying their reason to move in with him.  My cousin told me she said that.  Last night, while my grandparents and uncle and aunt were visiting.  She came over to my mother's house and asked the kids to go to my mother's bedroom.  We sat back while she talked with the kids, then my mother went in.  Then the yelling and scream and crying from the kids could be heard.

That is when I went into the room.

I told my sister this was not the time or the place to be do this.  She need to stop and visit with everyone, or she need to leave.  She kept saying that she did not understand why they were doing this to her and started crying.  I told my sister again that she needed to stop or go.  But she told me that I did not understand, and that is when I got more involved.  I don't understand, I told her.  Look at where my girls are, don't make the same mistake as I have.  I turn to Mindy Sue and told her she need to tell her mother if she wanted to work things out.  She told her that she was tried of being the responsible.  She was not telling her everything.  She was holding back because she did not want to hurt her mother's feeling.  I final turned to Melinda and told her.  You get after the kids for making a mistake, and you are on them. But when your boyfriend makes mistakes.  You are right be side him.  Then Mindy told her that she felt that Melinda loves her borfriend more than her.  I told her again.  From the beginning when she started dating this guy, and I found out he was doing and dealing with drugs.  And she stood by him, I told her that she was going to lose her children.  She looked at me and shook her head.  I did not tell her I was right.  We just looked at each other.  I told her she did not want to lose her kids.  I am living proof of that.  And for 30 days, I lost DJ and that was hell........  She knew that she had to choose and it had come.  Her kids were asking her.  I even told her that I have not heard everything about what her boyfriend has done to her and the kids, but everyone in the household, except the out-of-town visiters, did not like her boyfriend.  I told her how everyone else could see it, but she could not.  She tried to say that all relationship have problems.  I told her like this.......  and her kids were fat up with him.  The line has been drawn.  I told her again that this was not the time or place and to give the kids and herself time to think about things.  She was walking out the room, when she turned back and give the kids a hug.  I left the room and the door was closed again.   They were in there for a while, but no yelling or screaming or crying could be heard.  I was nerves.

Then my mother came out and gave me a hug.  I asked her if everything was ok.  She said that she was leaving her boyfriend tomorrow and that I was wonderful.  I final got through to her.  She was so proud of me.  But I wanted to cry.  I miss my girls, but I have helped my sister keep hers.  Or so I still hope.  Things might change again today.

My sister did come over to me before she left and gave me a hug and told me she love me.  Please say prayer that she will be strong and goes with what they have plans.

The drive back home, I cried and cried.  The pain of being away from my girls and them not understand hurts.

I have to get ready for work.

Till next time.....
