This all sounds SO familiar! My FCs mother shows up sporadically… one time we waited on her for 30 minutes and then I let the kids call her to find out if she was on her way. She was at Wal-Mart!!! She told the kids she couldn’t come because she didn’t have a ride!!! Aaaarg! Then she goes on to tell them she got a new puppy and they (her and the puppy) just left the vet!!! This has been going on for a little over three years… One time she disappeared for 9 months but showed back up about three months ago when she found out they were going to TPR the kids.



These are such beautiful children!!! I can’t believe she would do this! I would do ANYTHING to have them with me permanently – anything! I wish the courts would TPR her… Three plus years is more than enough time to get it together…


But I do agree with the other posts about telling the children that their mother does love them. I believe my FCs mother loves them... she just isn't strong enough to get it together. I also like "safe" more than "better" when telling the children what their parents need to do before they can go home.
