A Bad Day.......

[DianaB]

When it rains....it pours. What started out as a fun day turned into an awful day......Yesterday I had to go back out to Wichita to get the ferns for Jaci's wedding so I invited Dae Lynn to go with me. Of course, we had to take the kids and it was difficult with the baby and Karlie but we made it and had a good day together. Just as we were leaving Wichita about 9:00 Dae Lynn got a text from Damon saying that he was going fishing with an old friend....one that's not a good influence. She was concerned about it being late and the possibility of them drinking....but Damon's been doing so well that we really didn't dwell on it.

We got home at 10:30 and Damon wasn't home yet. After I was home for probably an hour or so Dae Lynn called looking for Glen but he wasn't home yet so she called his cell phone. Glen and Feyn ended up going in to Dae's house while she loaded up the kids and got out safely. I guess that Cody had dropped Damon off at home but was concerned for her and the kids so he called to check on her. Damon had gotten really drunk and was very violent.....enough that he was scared of him and he knew that taking him home wasn't a good idea. It ended up that Damon didn't go in the house but went out to a garage in the back where he has a shop so no one talked to him.

This morning Dae went to check on Damon and he wasn't home so she called the jail......and sure enough that's where he was. She's very upset. She quit her job after the baby was born so she could stay home. They figured that things would be hard financially but was going to try it. Now with him in jail and we don't know for how long......she's got to figure out what to do. We're discussing the possiblity of them moving in with us......I'm concerned about it but I've seen it coming for the last few months.

Damon goes in to court this afternoon and so we'll know more then. He was arrested for destruction of property and being drunk but we don't know what he destroyed. He's a really mean drunk.

Karlie found out that he was in jail by overhearing us and she's been really upset. She keeps asking "What did my Daddy do?" We don't have any answers for her. It's so hard to know what to do because she's not ours and we have no legal right to her if things get really bad.
