They came and took him! What do I do now? *UPDATE PAGE 5!*

Give that boy an extra kiss from all of us, okay?

We just got back from taking him back to his daddy. She didn't come out of the house and that was good because none of us wanted to hand him over to her. There was one thing I was very glad to see. He loves his daddy and appears to feel safe with him. I'm glad there is one person in that house he's like that with. But I didn't think he thought we were going to leave. He looked at us over Charles' shoulder with the saddest eyes when we were driving off. It made me want to cry. I hope when we do this a few more times he will realize that we'll always be back for him. I just hate to leave him there.


mrspunkysmom-I had heard that keeping a journal can be considered legal documents. I had meant to do that, thanks for reminding me. I have several notes to Nathan but they don't go into much details, which is what I had planned on writing down, all the details, such as how Stephanie acted towards Nathan when they lived here, and then when they moved out (and left him) and how Nathan acted before and after this happened.

Soon, I'm hoping for Nathan's sake that this back and forth routine will become normal for him, because I don't see Stephanie letting go of him as long as she thinks she'll get something out of it. Which reminds me, she went into the DHS office (a different branch than the one we have been trying to get to help us) to get more money on their foodstamps "for Nathan" and when they wouldn't do it started screaming at them. She gets WIC, that plus the foodstamps they get now is plenty to feed them and a baby. One of the workers told her "Well, it seems that someone over eats and it's not the baby."
With Stephanie it always has to be more, more, more and it always has to be about and for her. With a baby, you just can't be that way. You can't be selfish and greedy without hurting your child.
