As a step mom one of the hardest things to watch is when one of the kids gets into trouble

You see David has 2 daughters and a son. I am pretty close to the baby daughter and also his son. The oldest daughter not so much. So when Travis or Leslie end up in trouble I hate it as it makes me think about what I would do if it had been Suzzane or Charlie. The things I hate the most is that I am there step mom but when they get into trouble I am supposed to stay out of it and let David and his ex wife deall with it which I do not think is fair. I saw this because Travis has lived with us several different times when he gets into trouble and it always cause trouble for David and I. So a couple weeks ago when he left his wife David decided he could stay here again. He did not bother to ask me or Charlie how we felt about it and so I was hurt and angry. It got to the point where I thought I would leave and let David have both boys and he could figure out what to do as no one would listen to me. Travis was allowed to just sleep all day and not look for a job as he was going through a hard time. So the night he came here to stay he had just signed his self out of the hospital as he had thought of killing his self. I did feel sorry for him but I knew it was a way for him to get attention which he did. I told David time and time again he would go back to the girl and when he left it would upset Charlie but David says no he will not take her back. She tried to kill him. He is done with her. My mother n law came to pick up Travis so he could go and talk to her and he did go back to her. Now we all have to worry about weather she is going to hurt him or not. We also have to try and figure out what type of place to admit him to if he begins to drink and do drugs again which I am afraid he will do. So today I decided to look online for places and I found one that is called Morningside Recovery Program http://morningsiderecoveryfaqs.com/ide and it has a lot of things that we would need to have for Travis. The question is if we could afford it as Travis does not have insurance. So as I write this I Pray to God that it does not come down to use admitting him into here but with him being Bi-Polar and not taking his meds we may be and it may be soon than anyone wants to think about. As I have buried one child and I do not want to bury a second one and I think that Morningside Recovery Program http://morningsiderecoveryfaqs.com/ can keep us from losing a second child. Glenda
