What would I ever do without my wonderful PT support system! I love you all so very much, what a blessing you are for me!
I know I didn't tell you any details, so I really need to do that.

Amy Beth was actually doing pretty well here with Jenna .... she got up with her at night, and didn't ask me to help. She did get frustrated at times (as all new moms do) and I would step in and help so that Jenna wouldn't feel her mom's attitude.

I actually told Amy Beth I wanted her to leave, and that I wouldn't allow her to take Jenna until she had a stable place for her to stay. The reason for me doing this was because Amy Beth was breaking off with Chad (Jenna's dad) and trying to start up with some new guy she met through a co-worker!
She and her best friend were "doubling" with these two guys and in the process I found out that she had lost her drivers' license (which has MY home address on it) along with my house key and $50.00 cash!!!! These items were carelessly lost while at a pool hall with this new guy. This event was just the final drop in the bucket for me, as you would have to know Amy Beth's history of stupid and careless choices. She also just got a ticket for turning left on red light (missed the arrow). Again, in itself, alot of us do this all the time, but don't get caught, but this girl is already on probation and cannot risk stupid mistakes!!!

So.... now she had a traffic violation ticket, and is STILL driving without a license! "Oh, I just have to go pay $8.00 and get another one!" But has she done it yet? NO!
I try to tell her how bad it will be if she gets pulled over without a license on her, and especially if she has Jenna in the car .... then add the fact that she is already on probation!!!!???? So.... now maybe you can see my frustration with this girl?

During the past 3 days away from here, Amy Beth risked losing an awful lot. For one, Chad's mother knows about the "other guy" and is now very upset with Amy Beth and says that she never should have left without Jenna. Again, Amy Beth was really forced by me to do that, which I now halfway regret. I did not want to put my daughter in the position to lose her baby for what appeared to "abandonment"!

Amy Beth called me last night, absolutely hysterical. It takes alot for my daughter to "break" and she finally did. I talked to her a long time, and she remained upset the entire time. She was so confused, lost and didn't know what to do. Finally by the end of the conversation, I asked her to come home to "her mommy" and I would pay on all her bills until she could get on her feet. I also encouraged her to give Chad (Jenna's Dad) a real chance to make a homelife for the 3 of them. If it doesn't work, there is always a way out, but at least she will know that she did try, for Jenna's sake. I also advised her to break it off NOW with this new guy ... who she has only known for about 2 weeks. Thank GOD they weren't intimate yet, so she can honestly say she hasn't "cheated" on Chad! *sigh*

My girl came home and slept here last night, and I went to bed feeling much better. This morning she and Chad and their baby girl left to spend some time together. I kept saying how happy Jenna was this morning to see both her mommy and her daddy .... and trying to encourage them. For this moment, they are happy! Please pray that this will continue.

I will attach a very recent picture of my Amy Beth and her precious Jenna!

Thank you all!

LOVE,
