What is it?

Monday Apr 30, 2007

with me? Why do so many people who BARELY know me put me in the middle of their problems? This lady.. who’s kids ride the bus with my kids.. Her husband called me tonight. Just wanted to let me know whats going on.. Apparently she is drinking again.. She fell off the wagon.. She was going to AA meetings and on meds for the withdrawls.. Her family was falling apart.. Well I knew she was drinking again.. I’ve seen her erratic behavior get worse.. Her lying to her family telling them that she is at my house when she is out drinking at 9am!!!!!!!! Well apparently she dropped her kids off at her SONS biological fathers house.. Dropped both kids.. One isnt even his! Its her husbands.. She dropped both kids off there friday and left.. No one heard from her until Sunday. She called her husband wanting her sons bio father’s number.. She didnt even have it.. She called her sons bio father and told him to RUN with both her kids.. He called her husband and said whats going on? Her husband went and got his daughter.. Had to call the cops and threatened to press kidnapping charges if they didnt hand her over.. The son is so freaked out.. He wants to go home.. But the husband cant do anything about it becuase he isnt his biological father.. He told him he is working on it and that he loves him.. She called him (the husband) tonight and asked him if he still loved her.. Of course he loves her but he is filing for a divorce (going ot find a lawyer) on monday and seeking custody of his daughter.. He was pouring it out for me.. I could tell he was hurting and I feel for him.. But why me? Apparently I’m the only friend she has.. And i’m the only one who isnt a raging alcoholic.. The problems go much deeper.. he told me things HE is ashamed of that she has done.. And he said he forgives her but will never forget.. He said he doesnt want ot be with out her but doesnt know any other way to help her.. But to leave her since he’s paid for rehab and everything else and hse will NOT stick with it.. She is 23.. And has her whole life ahead of her.. a 7 year old and a 4 year old and will NOT straighten her ass up.. He doesnt know what else to do.. I dont knwo what to tell him.. I dont know why he came to me.. She isnt going to call me.. Because i’ll tell her how it is.. I wont lie to her..

My dh says I dont need the stress.. Walk AWAY from the situation.. But I didnt even walk INTO the situation.. He says,”DONT TAKE THIS ON!” and he is right.. I can’t afford the stress.. I’ll buckle and end up cycling again and it will be worse than last time.. I already told her husband I wont be in the middle of this.. He asked me if he needed me to go to court for him and testify as to her actions would i.. Because i’m the only one around here other than HIS family that has seen her in action first hand.. Part of me says in a heart beat because its whats best for that child!!! part of me says no way im not getting in the middle of it!
I dont know!!!!!! I’m hoping they dont need me at all.. What do I have tos ay really other than yes.. She is a raving alcoholic.. Has driven around with her daughter drunk! Has purchased beer at 8 am and proceeded to drink it. Has called me many times ot pick up her kids because she couldnt do it.. My Dh is not going to like it if i get involved.. I dont want to be involved.. Why do so many people come to me for this shit???????????????
