usr : Thanks for being sympathetic and for the words of encouragement. Yes, needless to say, Child Protective Services were involved, and I was granted Foster Parent status. I'm sure your friend went down that road, sadly.
usr : Have you ever seen the video by the artist known as NF called "How Could You Leave Us?" I'm afraid that's what's next for these kids.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Yes, she did. Her children seem very lucky to have you. Do they get along with your children?
sys : (Others) I haven't seen that, waht happens in it?
usr : They all get along famously. You can find that video on YouTube. It's a true story of how his mother died from heroin addiction. It's a powerful song.
usr : Hopefully, you never have to experience it. Heroin (opioids) just grabs hold of people and doesn't let go.

usr : I did.
usr : LOL
sys : (Question) And he's still married?
usr : And he brought his kids to my house so they could meet my kids. He had a conversation with them about why he and their mother had been living the way they had. (in seperate floors of the house)
usr : That was two weeks ago.
usr : So, yes, he is.
usr : Too soon to tell.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I can tell that you feel that you are being cheated here. I can't tell you what to do but don't you think you deserve better?
usr : I guess that's what I'm trying to figure out. Should I give him time to prove himself now that he's backed into a corner.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It's not for me to say but I wonder if he's really going to change as he has not already.
usr : That's not an easy question to answer. He treats me very well. Always has. And he is frantically trying to accomodate me, now htat I know.
usr : I agree with you. It's one of my fears.
