Shauna

I spoke with my Aunt Chris today and I have learned that my cousin, the one I despise so much is in major trouble. I dont know if I have ever mentioned here in my OD that my cousin had her kids taken away for poisoning them. She has that mental disease where she makes them sick on purpose just to get the attention. State of California has a warrent out for her arrest and she has to appear in court where they will arrest her and charge her for eight counts of child endagerment. It will give her 40 years in prison when she loses, and Im sure she will, the state only needs to speak to family and friends to confirm we have thought this for years.

Odd how Child Protective Services was on her ass for years, and how all this time she thought is was my mom and I calling…. Except when you go to the hospital so many times a month for unnormal childhood sicknesses sooner or later someone is going to catch you.

My aunt is trying to get the boys, three of them, but she is feeling exceptionally discouraged because the social worker hasn’t returned her call. The social worker could just be waiting for Shauna’s arrest to be sure the boys wont be given back to her.

If Chris cant get them, I’d take them. I adore the older two and don’t know Austin that well, but I do not want the three seperated. I do not think Justin would want to raise someone else’s kids, but if it really came down to it and I was actually offered the boys I might have to consider leaving Justin. Although I doubt either would come to be. So that kind of thinking is unnecissary.

I do hope that Chris is able to get the boys, their dad who is having trouble financially really wants Chris to have them, so I really really hope something works out and she gets them.

Im so eager to talk to my mom about this but my Aunt asked me to let her tell her the news. There are good chances that my Grandfather will be back in my life when Shauna gets arrested. I can only hope that Grandpa once he moves to his sisters house will let my mom talk him into moving to live with her….

That is called Munchausen by Proxy, and that’s just wrong. I have never understood how parents can get to that level. Personally, I hope the custody is never given back to her. Hugs to you

No matter who ends up with the kids, you can still be a supportive “aunt” in their lives. They will need positive influences, poor things. You said it correctly that their mom has a mental disease. My Hubby is a pediatrician, and has come across this before. People with this ARE just crazy — you can’t reason with them. I am glad the kids will finally be safe. I am glad they have you.

Poor kids… it must be very hard to understand that Mom has a serious mental illness that makes her hurt you even though she loves you… (HUGGLES)
