Please anyone who can get a prayer to the throne room, please pray for me today. I have had some very tough issues in this past week. I had 2 breast biopsies last Wednesday. Then on Friday, I made a decision to call Children's Services concerning my granddaughter as I fear for her care. My daughter is not working, has been evicted twice in three months, and I fear may be on drugs as she won't talk to us or bring the baby around. She has taken up with another young woman who has an infant. My daughter's dad passed away in 2007, she had her baby in 2008 (not married) and the baby's dad won't acknowledge the baby. She left my home in October with the baby and has not worked since. She's 23 and acting liking a child herself. I could no longer believe she can provide for this baby so I contacted Children's Services to investigate the "friends" she is living with. These people don't work and live an hour and a half from our city. I happen to discover that family has lost two children to the system. Then yesterday I had to attend a probate hearing regarding my children's father's estate (he divorced me, remarried, then passed away). I am overwhelmed with concern for my daughter and granddaughter to the point of not being able to think at work. I talked to a caseworker but they cannot divulge what they've discovered. My granddaughter is almost 11 months old. I sent milk and diapers to the home by a friend after I was informed my granddaughter had none. I want to help but my daughter says she's grown and lives as she pleases. But what about the child? I'm so frightened that my daughter might not ever speak to me again as she has sent word that she knows I was the one who placed the call to Children's Services. I feel awful but isn't it right to want to see a baby have what she needs--a healthy, smokefree, safe environment is what I want for her.
