Lowlife pond scum

Thanks everyone.
Katie started having cramps this afternoon so went to ER. Thank God her and the baby are fine. She has a bladder infection so was given meds, and is on her way home. Josh took off work to take her in, but his car is a real piece of junk with BAD brakes, so I offered them mine. The hospital is about an hr away in a fairly large city, so it would have been unsafe to drive his car there.

Katie came in for the keys and he waited outside. Once they got done with the Dr, she called me to give me the news, and tell me they're now on their way back here.
I know it's so hard for her that I'm not allowing Josh to come in... but so far they're listening to my advice that he stay away.

I was So worried that all this stress was going to cause her problems in her pregnancy. This was a real scare.

Tink my prayers are with you and Katie. It is so hard to watch your child in a situation you know is bad and can't do anything. I know people can change but my experience is that someone this controlling just gets worse. I hope Katie gets out of there and is very careful.

Tink, I hope and pray that this all works out safely and very soon!!!!!! Thoughts of concern and prayers are with you all.

Oh Tink - my heart goes out to you and to Katie. You know I have had similar issues
and understand how it is to have to stand on the edge of a cliff, not being able to say anything, while you watch your daughter falling off that edge. I will be praying for all of you and am going to light a candle for Katie's situation now.

Tink I am sorry to hear what is going on with Katie and Josh. I hope that God will shed some light and lead your daughter in the right direction. Being a mom it hurts to sit back and not say anything. My prayers are with you.

I decided today to do some research into our "problem persons" criminal history. I knew we weren't dealing with Mother Theresa, but even I was surprised at what I found. This is all between 1999 to 2005! Anything from before he was 18 doesn't show in public records... so that's not even included.

We knew about one prison sentence... there have been three. 12 months twice, and 18 months the 3rd time.
Plus a few local jail stays of up to 6 months at a time.

1 Assault by Prisoner- while in correctional facility- felony
1 Bail Jumping-felony
4 counts of battery
8 counts of Disorderly Conduct
1 Retail Theft
1 Substantial Battery-Intend Bodily Harm Felony
1 Take and Drive Vehicle w/o Consent Felony
1 Trespass to land

Oh, Tink, you've got to get her away from him somehow. Is there a women's crisis shelter nearby? Perhaps she could stay there for a while. I don't really know the solution, just want you to know you and all involved are in my prayers.

Tink, I'm glad that Katie wasn't in labor and that the baby's alright. What a scare! Still praying about the situation!

Oh wow, I just saw this. Thank you God for keeping Katie and the baby safe. I hope things get better for Katie and soon. She seems to be a smart young lady..so it may just be a matter of time for her and Josh.
