Thread: My Bakery~ Updates on RPs and a bit of Cynicism

My Niece I'm going to try to write this without getting all worked up. Each time I think about it or talk about it, my blood begins to boil, but writing is usually a good way of venting. So to those who care to read... Anyone who knows me well knows that for the last decade, my family has been struggling with my sister who is a drug addict crack. My parents have custody of four of her kids. 2 have been put into adoption, one died at birth, and she hashad custody of her 5 month old. For the past 5 years she's been in and out of jail. She spent 3 years in prison and then has been in and out since. She was recently arrested and it turned out she's going to be going away for awhile... I think a couple of months. Last summer while she was pregnant, she was arrested, and after she was released she was put into a second-chance kind of program where they try to rehabilitate mothers who have drug addictions or criminal pasts. But in case she relapses and goes to prison, they have to list 3 people their baby can go to if that were to happen. My sister left her baby to the baby's daddy. The problem with that? The guy is a druggie himself and he is jobless and homeless. We are convinced he is also a felon with a warrant because he refuses to give anyone his real name. He just goes by Sammy and in the drug world... nicknames are made up for protection from the police. He is currently staying with Julius whom my sister was living with Julius is also her ex.... He said Sammy could live with him, he just needs to be put on the lease and register his name to the address. Sammy flipped out on Julius for this and refuses to give him his full name. Both my parents and Julius called Child Protective Services and they were all turned down because of this damn program that my sister is enrolled in. They said until she has completed the program there is little we can do since she has directed them on who the baby is supposed to go to 2 druggies and a homeless felon... and none of us are designated to be guardians if she is arrested. The thing that pisses us off is that they CLEARLY did not do a background check on Sammy. That, or he lied. He is JOBLESS, and HOMELESS, he is probably a druggie himself, and he is hiding from something. Yet my parents wanting to get custody is wrong? My sister did this on purpose. She told Julius that he was going to be the legal father even though he wasn't the biological father. She convinced his son that he was going to have a little sister. But ever since we called CPS on her months back for an incident, she has been trying to keep the baby from us. It's like a game to her... and it pisses me off. It's not like she wants to be a mother. She simply uses the baby, she doesn't want us to have the baby and she won't let Julius have her because she knows Julius would simply hand her over to my parents. Children are not a game! I declare it now. I don't like using the word, but I HATE my sister. I want nothing to do with her after all of this is sorted out. My parents aren't giving up yet, they plan on calling her case worker tomorrow and bitching them out for giving the baby to a guy who is all around unfit to care for a child because a crackhead mother told them to. But once we know the baby is in good care or someone from the state straight up tells us no, we will never have the baby, they aren't going to give up. After that, she is out of everyone's life. My parents have already long said fuck it to hiding her condition from the kids. They've been told their mom chose a dangerous and unhealthy lifestyle and she is selfishly putting their little sister at risk we aren't being too blunt about it. The 14 year old has decided he doesn't want to talk to her anymore. The 10 year old and the 8 year old have no real opinion as they were never raised by her. But the 11 year old will be difficult. Despite living most of his life without her, he really looks up to her and gets excited to hear from her. But she isn't helping him one bit and we've been advised to cut her out of his life and to later explain why we did it. It's not fair. I just want to know my niece is safe and okay. I know she is while they're staying with Julius, but if Sammy and my sister chose to leave, we may never see her again. Who knows where she'd end up.
