Well, sorry for taking so long to reply. We had a bad weekend with my dd4 who had dental work done last week and has developed a serious infection from who knows where.

We have offered to foster all 3 kids (I can't believe that was dh's idea!) but CPS told us it was better to keep them in the home.

Step-dad avoids talking to us because he thinks we're "crazy bible-thumpers." Don't know how he came up with that one as we have never told him we are Christians nor have we spoken more than twice. CPS actually told him he should call me for "punishment ideas." because my children are so well-adjusted and behaved

If they only knew how punitive I WAS with my dc and how badly I have struggled to learn GBD they would probably remove MY kids

I have contacted the CPS workers supervisor dozens of times, but she will not return my calls (how convenient). The step-dad is an alcoholic and has been arrested almost a dozen times for domestic violence (to his wife & kids) and DUI. They removed a DOG from the home after he abused it--but the kids, they'll be "just fine they like it there."

Over the weekend step-gma smacked 13yo girl around and sent her to live with biological father (who is not much better than step-dad). Bio-dad sent her back last night because he's not used to having kids around.

Funny how when kids NEED to be removed from the home they're not, and kids who should be left in the home are removed. CPS told me if he was beating his wife they could arrest him. Why do children have less rights than an adult who could protect themselves???

Thanks for the prayers and advice I appreciate it so much.
