We have tentative plans to go get K and A Saturday. My Aunt and Uncle want us to spend the night Saturday and leave out Sunday. I'm sure it's to look at us in our eyes and ask what the fuck we are doing. NYEBoy isn't going to handle the passive behavior very well though. We didn't make all of these plans to move K and A down here to be duped like this. It's going to be very hard not to say exactly what we're feeling in order not to get into a big argument or split the family apart. This isn't about who can do it better, but who is actually going to help these two girls.
NYEBoy and I were talking a few minutes ago about something when he said, "She'll be here at least two or three years. Maybe more." It suddenly hit me, we're in this for the long haul.
I hope our relationship can withstand the two new house guests. I hope my sister succeeds in school to become a productive, self-sufficient mother. I hope the relationship between K and I begins to mend from the past eight years. I hope A makes it out to the other side as un-fucked up as possible. I hope we're all proud of ourselves and our commitment when this is said and done.
It won't be easy, but it will be worth it. I hope.

It will be hard, but it will be so worth it! I am beyond proud of the decisions you guys have been making, and it seems like being with you is really what will be best for K and A. Your sister is so lucky to have people who care enough to get her on track!!
You remind me a lot of my aunt, she's the person in my life who I feel like if i EVER needed anything she would take me in in a second and make sure I had anything I ever needed to succeed and get on my feet. it's such an important thing to have 'that' person in your life who you can turn to when you need to.
She'll make it. You all will. You're a fantastic sister. K is lucky to have you. Please let me know how we can help.
Also? God bless NYEboy. He's a good man, to be willing to go through all this for you and them.
I am so happy that you are doing this for them. It IS going to be tough but in the end you WILL all make it and they will be happier and it will be worth it! Good Luck! ((HUGS))
