Yesterday was a little taste of hell on earth. (This is LONG, so if you don't want to read it, just move along.) First, at about 7:30am, my daughter threatened to commit suicide. Said she was going to take all of her anxiety pills at once and hopefully not wake up. She didn't show up on Facebook for 4-1/2 hours, so I got ready to go over and see if she had really done it this time (she has threatened suicide MANY times before). She replied to my text about that time. This was about 1pm. The kids had been up by themselves and I asked if they had eaten anything. They had not and she said there was no food and her wannabe-husband had left her without any cigarettes (or weed "to calm down") after he had trashed the house that morning looking for his glasses, which he accused everyone of moving or taking.
I bought her cigarettes (which I HATE to do, but I understand addiction because of my Diet Coke) and picked up some McDonalds for them all and went over there. My daughter cried the whole time I was there. The husband had taken down my grand daughter's bedroom door. Everyone was upset. I left about 2:30.
At 3, I got a text that the "husband" had come home and found my daughter sleeping and went through the roof. He also found my grand daughter on my grandson's tablet (which she had been banned from because of Wednesday's sexting incident). Apparently, he had come in and there was an actual physical altercation between him and my grand daughter. She called her father and told him about it, and the next thing I got was a picture of the fire department in front of their house! The real dad had called them to go and check on them, and had called the police to report the incident, and had called Child Protective Services!!!
When I went over there, I had taken three 16-oz bottles of water because I didn't know how long I would be staying. Since Monday, they had drunk the two 2-liter ginger ales I brought and the 35 cans of ginger ale, and the kids didn't have anything to drink with their McDonalds, so I gave them each a water. I had already drunk one of them on the way over, so I had none for the drive home (96 degrees). I REALLY wanted to stop back by McDonalds and get a Diet Coke, but thankfully, there was an 8-oz water on the floorboard of the van.
Today is a pool day with just my grandson and my twin friends, who had texted me several times after the fire department/police affair as my grand daughter was texting them (apparently, her father is not enforcing the "no technology" grounding). My grand daughter told them all kinds of lies - that my daughter had seen the whole thing (she was asleep), that the stepdad had tried to strangle her, that my daughter had stuck up for him because she needed the money to be able to still live there. Of course, the twin friends believe EVERYTHING my grand daughter says, even though they know she lied to all of our faces just two weeks ago in another incident.
All this is VERY stressful. Somehow, God has enabled me to get through all this stress without extra Diet Coke or going over on my calorie allotment. Every day is still a challenge, though, and I have to pray that I can remain strong. If anyone is inclined to pray, please ask that the twin friends won't rant on and on about the incident the whole time we are at the pool. They're VERY defensive of my grand daughter, and think she can do no wrong.
Making hot dogs to have at the pool. One with the toppings is only 246 calories, so I will stay within my range. I'll still have one serving of Chinese Casserole to have for dinner, which I will thoroughly enjoy! Might go to the store this morning to get more honeydew and cantaloupe and maybe a watermelon as I finished up the honeydew this morning, and will finish the watermelon at the pool today. I don't want to leave myself without healthy fruit options. There are peaches ripening in a bag.
