He did it again......

[DianaB]

Thanks everyone!!! Dae Lynn is looking for a job (which in a small town is hard to find) and she says that she will NEVER be dependent on Damon again. This has really put her on the spot by not having hardly any income. She cleans at the church but it's only a few hours a week and it's not enough to live on. Dae Lynn is VERY capable of managing her money and she'll have to always have a job if she wants to ever have much because of Damon.....and she knows that. She points out that he does have his good sides and she does love him. It's not like he's drinking all the time....it's only a couple times a year but he just goes off the deep end. She's insisting that Damon get some rehab before he comes home.....we'll see what happens with that because we have a month before he goes to court and our jail needs the funds of him being here because they're broke (it's a political thing). So I'm not sure what will go on......however Dae Lynn's willing to let Damon go even after he's out of jail. We'll just have to see what happens.

Dae Lynn's a strong girl and she's just dealing with what she has to deal with. She's not sitting around feeling sorry for herself or playing the victim. She knows what she needs to do to keep her family going and she's willing to do it. I'm very proud of her!!!!! Of course, I think that it helps her to know that her Mom and Dad are behind her!!!

Of course you and Glenn are behind her...she is a lucky young lady. I was so impressed with her when I met her. Dae Lynn is someone you instantly like. I wish her the best in whatever she decides to do and in whatever may come her way.

Is there another town near where she might have better luck finding a job? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her.

It sounds like she has a very good head on her shoulders! Having a plan, like she does, makes it so much easier.


She is so lucky to have yours and Glen's support too. This is a time that she really needs stable people behind her. I wish her and her family only the best!

How are things going for Dae Lynn and Damon? Tell her I'm thinking of her.

[DianaB]

Things are going good. Damon can get out of jail on work release so he's been doing maintenance at the church. He gets out a couple of days a week. He also helps my BIL farm but he's not sure that he's ready to have him work for him yet. He wants him to suffer in jail a little longer.....which makes me upset because Dae Lynn could really use the money that Damon can earn. I tell you....I get so upset with some people!!!!

Dae Lynn hasn't heard anything back yet on any of her jobs.....but she's heard of a para job at the school which would start in the fall and she's interested in it. It would be a great job and she wouldn't have to work when the kids were out of school. Of course, she'd have to find a job to get her by until school started.

Dae Lynn talked to Damon and found out more of what happened. I guess that he went by some neighbor's house to talk to him about his hay and they offered him a beer.......several times........then they made fun of him for not taking it. It was after several beers that he called his friend to bring out some harder stuff from town. So it wasn't because of his PTSD (Post Tramatic Stress Disorder) but just because he had been tempted. Dae Lynn was furious at Damon!!!! I really think that this will be the LAST time that she ever deals with this. She's treating this completely different this time than she ever has before so Damon better listen up!!! She has layed down the law on some things.....one is that while he's in jail he better get rid of his chew!!! Or she'll kick him to the curb!!!! And there were other things but I can't remember them!!!! She's a strong cookie!!!

Her birthday is on the 6th of June and she wants all of us girls to go shopping at Wichita so she has it all planned......well, except for the babysitter for the kids!!! That's kinda' falling apart so we may have to take them!!! I think that we'll have to go shopping after her birthday because I'll be out of town then!!

[Janet]

I'm so glad she's putting her foot down and sticking to it. I really admire how strong she is. How long is his work release program?

[DianaB]

It can be as long as he's in jail. The downfall is that it costs him $20 each day to get out and that adds up pretty quickly. He has to go before the judge in June to find out what his sentence is.
