Thanks for the concern, trail mix. CPS said they would not investigate because there was already a caseworker assigned. But she is 90 miles away, doesn't know the daughter is living there illegally, and always contacts before each visit. The daughter was not very concerned when she lost custody because her and her soon to be dead BF were pursuing their true love, heroin. I think the father loves his children but he has never held a job in the 15 years I've known him and the extra welfare he will be receiving is a top priority. I have to be prepared for the time when they will be contacting me, letting me know there is no food in the house, the kids miss me , and the bills are going unpaid. It's happened so many times before and it usually works thanks to my codie ways. Have got to be smarter and stronger.
