In 2018, I took in 3 of my grandchildren from an abusive alcoholic father. Their mother (my middle daughter) has severe PTSD and cannot care for them. I was living with my oldest daughter at the time. We came to an agreement that she would work and I would stay home with the children. They had been through so much. They needed therapy and medical needs that had not been addressed.
The 14 yr old boy has abandonment and trust issues, but is trying hard to hide his pain.The 8 yr old girl suffers from a condition where her bone age is 3 years older than her physical age. The 7 yr old boy is on the autism spectrum and behind on many of his fundamental milestones.
We had one vehicle, so I was also the family chauffeur. I thought everything was going great. Fast forward to 2023. A month ago, my youngest daughter and her 2 children (ages 14 yrs and 2 yrs) needed out of an abusive relationship so my oldest brought them here.
With no warning, my oldest daughter walked in last weekend and announced that she was moving out… immediately. She had met a man my age and was moving in with him. I am devastated. She left me with nothing and 2 months behind on bills. She even took the car. None of the parents are paying child support. I have begun job hunting and will get back on level ground. I just need some help to get caught up until I can get my head above water.
These children have been through a fire that took their home. They have been abandoned by their mother, father, step-father, and now the aunt that has helped raise them for the last 5 years. I am trying so hard not to put them through anymore heartache. Any bit of help would be beyond appreciated.
