You have to keep Suzie in perspective and pacify Jamie in order to get Suzie in a safe environment. I am not typically shifty like that, but when dealing with addicts you need to protect your GrandDaughter. Your daughter is most likely not being honest with you, so you need to take that in to consideration and so what it takes to protect your Granddaugher.
You know I never thought of myself as "shifty" at first. But now I realize
to a degree it was. I too pacified my daughter in order to insure Bug's safety.
I was being honest with my daughter, but didn't expect her to do some of the
things she did (like take off for months).

When she first started using again it was for a weekend or for a few days. I asked her to
please be sure that Bug was safe with me before she twisted off. That if she was going to
use, please, please, be sure Bug was safe first. It started off that she would twist off and
disappear for a weekend, only to return on Monday and go back to work. She would take
my car that she was using to go to work and back, and take it for the full weekend, and
not return my calls from the cell phone I was paying for.

Then one day, she just up and disappeared right before Christmas. Not ONE word from
her from the 23rd of December, until around the 15th of January. When I finally reached
one of her friends and told them to tell her I had filed for custody. Then she didn't even
come back. She stayed gone another month (at this time I had already taken my car from her).

Now she tells me I "tricked" her. That I manipulated her into thinking I would care for Bug,
while she continued to use (as if me not caring for Bug would have made a difference). She
was going to use regardless, she had already started using before I said that.

Well, if that's the truth it's the truth (that I tricked/and or manipulated her). I didn't intend to.
I just knew I couldn't control her, and I didn't want her "farming" Bug out to just anybody
and everybody. She had done that with her boys until the State stepped in and took them.

I feel in my heart that Bobbie and Mike will soon have Suzy back. She will soon become
a burden to the lifestyles of Jamie, Kenny and his parents to. It takes a lot of LOVE to care
for a child. We all know Bobbie and Mike have that.
