she is still a child.

so i learned that my niece was dealing m.ary.jane.
yup.

my heart broke. again.

hubs and i spoke about it and we have offered to have her come up to stay with us over the summer months. however, we have to see what the courts decide first.

she needs taken out of that environment for a bit. we can work with her. find her a job. get her doing some volunteer work. 

we feel we need to intervene. 

who knows what will happen.

but we have to start somewhere, with a plan and go from there.

oxoxo

Hope you guys can help. My best friend and her hubby did the same thing for their niece and it backfired on them.
Just be careful :(
