i am asking for help with my children and grandaughter and my current financial situation. i thought katrina was a blessing turns out it wasn't. for the first time ever i had a great paying job did not have to work two jobs. after katrina i got a job with clean-up which helped my financial situation. only it was temporary and it cost me being able to keep employment because i bailed on my other job to take it. i'm guessing.
after katrina my grandaughter who i waited for anxiously for 9 months was born in nov and dhs showed up on the day i was to pick her up from the hospital my daughter was going to return to my home and go to school dhs took her because her mother used marijuania they would not let me have her. my son and other daughter moved into their fathers because i could not find a big enough place for us and they wanted to stay in the school they were in previous to katrina. nothing was available so i let them, since then they have been doing drugs with their father and do not want to come back to my house with rules. i have been so devistated until i can no even keep a job. i don't know where i went wrong. i am not a drug addict or alcoholic. i have supported and raised my children in church and sports and family oriented activities their whole life. i worked sometimes two jobs because their father would not pay child support. i never stopped letting him see his children i just don't know where my life went so wrong. i got a dui in 12-06 because i started drinking to forget and now because i am unemployed i can not finish paying my fines. they will be to pick me up soon i'm sure. i don't see any reason to hope for it to get better. this morning i went out to my car and had a flat tire. it's seems almost as if god doesn't want me to leave my house. and i am so depressed and scared i don't know what to do anymore. i don't even know where my oldest daughter is. i need everyone who will pray for clarity and guideance and financial blessing for me . i don't know what god wants me to do. i need his h
to me it sounds like everybody around you has lost their minds and unfortunately your the only one who isn't high and the only one who sees a problem. please don't beat yourself up over other people's actions they made their own decisions. unless your the one who introduced them to drugs you do not own any part of this fiasco. I'm surrounded by crazy people too and i also have a grandchild in foster care. it sounds like you want to help your family very much and it is quite heartbreaking that they're so oblivious but hard drugs can do that to you.may i suggest that you go out and volunteer at a shelter for people who are trying to give up drugs so you can see what you're up against and sometimes volunteer positions lead to great jobs you otherwise would never dream of applying for. my heart goes out to you but in times of trouble if you can keep doing the right thing then thats all God ever really wants because the right thing is never the easy thing. you're being tested and you will come out of this a better person hang in there
