I could really use your prayers and esp. for my sister and her family, and for those who are trying to help them right now.
Right now there are 6 kids in my house that I'm taking care of (all tucked into bed right now--don't worry) and 3 are my sister's. Her husband that she has been married to for 2 years is going to go back to Brazil this week--leaving her. Apparently she has been addicted to prescription pain meds (and other things?) for quite some time. I had no idea what was going on. I guess she had been lying to him all the time, spending all their money etc. He really doesn't want to leave but feels he has no choice because he said he feels like he is slowing going insane because of all of this. He is actually really heartbroken and was sobbing for like 5 minutes when I was talking to him on the phone today.
I went and got her kids and the youngest one (almost 5) was holding some kind of pill in and a little pill bottle and holding it in front of my sister saying "here's your pill mommy". I took it from her and put it in my pocket and my sister said nothing. It was also really dirty in the house and I am probably calling CPS tomorrow. This whole thing is just a terrible situation. Her husband has basically been taking care of the kids most of the time, so if he leaves I really don't want the kids left there.
I love her kids and I love her and I don't know what else to do. I feel that I really need to call CPS esp. because her oldest daughter has a severe form of autism and at least right now I don't know how to take care of her by myself because she doesn't speak and wears diapers, etc. It's also really heartbreaking because she is my sister and I know that at least temporarily she will really really hate me if I call someone.
So, as you can see we really need some prayer. I just want to do the right thing and I want the best for my sister and her kids.

I'm diein' to have a wife and have more kids and there she has a man leaving 6 behind. I prayed for her.  |

Oh yeah, the CPS thing?
Way more harm than good!
Work it out, help, but keep CPS out of it!
They'll separate the kids and really ruin them!

Well, no she doesn't have 6 kids--I was watching her kids, so my 3+ her 3 = 6.
Thank you for responding and thank you for the advice Cepha. Last night she was going to go stay with her friend (and get high??) but I found out today that she stayed home w/her husband and they were talking all night--my brother who is a recovering drug addict and doing really well right now was there to talk to them which is really good because he knows all about addiction and was probably much better than me for talking to her.
My mom said that her husband is going to try to stay so they can work things out. If he had just told us earlier we could have helped but we had no idea what was going on. I ALMOST called the CPS but then I found out he is staying and hopefully she will be getting help. If he is there, I'm not worried about the kids at all because he is really good with them.
I do feel sorry for my sister because all of this started because she had all these dental problems and really truly needed pain meds. Then she got addicted. She is a really good mother, we just need to get her off this stuff and then she's fine.
Thank you for your prayers...I still need more though!!

Cepha sometimes its more healthy for the kids to be somewhere else than with their parents. I believe that...but this doesn't sound like one of those cases from what I read. |

Marcie, definitly. In my experiences with CPS, they try their best. Depends where one lives. In NY, it's horrible. So many children have been murdered and sexually abused by their supposedly "better" parents. So many have been taken improperly from their parents. CPS in NY is horrible. It's the devils playground. |

Over half a billion catholic women out there and you can't find a wife. How sad. It's typical. The Catholic marriage/divorce rate is equal to the general population's and Catholic men are smart...when one marries a good Catholic woman, they stay married and don't let her go, therefore, the single Catholic women are single for a "reason". Yeah...it's definitely sad for me. It's hard for me to find a good Catholic single woman. I won't find them in bars or clubs because I don't go to places like that (and if I find them there, most likely their not good in the first place). I don't go out socially. I only see my daughters and go to Church besides work. So, I guess it's up to God to put a woman in my path when He feels I'm ready or deserving. |

She lives three blocks from Scott Hahn and she converted to Catholic a few years ago. She might know a good Catholic woman you could hook up with. also, possibly you could write to Mr. Hahn and he could fix you up with one. |

awe how sweet alfie!
I know a really awesome catholic girl. She is about my age, she was married a long time ago, but now divorced. She just became Catholic(before that was agnostic all her life) a year ago and is very sweet, beautiful, she's a lector at church (has a really pretty peacock tattoo on her arm) She is a dancer(ballet, classical etc) and she teaches dance to kids for a living.
She also was so cute because she said she was terrified that they wouldn't let her become Catholic because she had been divorced. (wonder where she heard that misinformation LMCBO!)
