what do you say?
Bubba goes for days and days without mentioning mom and then suddenly she's all he talks about. I know he loves her and wants to go home. I also know that DFCS is moving toward TPR. Mom has been in and out of rehab 3 times in 5 months. She gets clean for a little while and then goes back down that awful road again. Addiction is a horrible thing.
So, tonight I'm rocking and singing and then tucking in and praying like always and Bubba tells me to get my face away from his face. He wants mom. I swear, it felt like being kicked in the heart.
At 4 years old, he's aware of her addiction issues. I keep telling him she's sick and that she's trying to get better and that she loves him and Sissy very much. I know that much is true. We haven't seen mom since the last weekend in January and the sw can't tell us when we will again. I really want to tell him...........I don't even know. He wants to go to his gf house--the judge told gf no way w/o a homestudy--lots of issues there, too. He also wants to stay here. That one's easy. Until the judge maybe decides to let the bio family try one more time to mess up/get it right with these kids. My little boy's been under DFCS supervision for all but 6 months of his life. My little girl has always been under supervision.
I know stuff happens and changes without warning, but I don't want to kill hope or make things seem like they're going one way or the other. What do you guys say to the children when this happens?
