Unsure

Joe and I have decided to send Kris back to his mom's after school is done this week. Barbie got Kris Sunday around 2pm (she was supposed to get him for breakfast with his Nana). When she arrived she sent Kelsey to the door so Joe went out to speak to her. She was very agitated and when Joe told her we need to sit down and talk like adults she said we would at the right time since we've served her papers. Joe told her he had no idea what she was talking about since we can't afford to take her to court. She told Joe that she is trying to do the best she can and that she HAD to get a job since she's not getting Dann'y child support. I'm very proud to say the Joe didn't blow a gasket nor did he tell her, in his smart ass way, that child support is for the CHILD not the lazy ass mother!!!! At 8pm Sunday she called to say that she didn't have enough gas to bring him to the house, that she would bring him to school on her way to work on Monday morning; she had to be to work for 9am. Y'all know before I go any farther that it did not happen. She lied. Kris didn't go to school; Barbie dropped him at out door at 4:15pm without even making sure we were there. She told Kris that he could go with her for the summer and than come back for the school year. Joe and I have decided we are no longer going to play her games and we are returning Kris permanetly.

I feel bad but I'm almost releived. My hard work on Kris will all go to waste and I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in the foster system after awhile. As for Kris the only reason he could tell us that he didn't want to stay with his mom is because his sister pinches him. I have decided to take him to the counseling session so that maybe talking to the counselor about going back to his mom's will help him. I feel I've done all I can do and (like my Mom and Casey said) I need to work on me and my family. I need to feel better about myself and my marriage. Who knows, maybe with out the stress of Kris, maybe Joe and I will finally have another of our own.

I'm really sorry things didn't work out better than they did. I know you tried your best and that you & Joe did everything you could. I know things will turn out for the best in the end. Try to concentrate on your upcoming visit ~ we'll have a great time!
