things are actually going very well with krystal. she's in school. she goes every day with erika. she walks with her to school every morning and back at noon monday to friday. this week was her first week and she went every day. so far so good. she's also got a job. she gets 8 bucks an hour working at the 4 points hotel as a room attendant (fancy name for chambermaid). she was working full time but had to cut back for school. she works saturday and sunday and has been going to work ehen she has to. that too is so far so good.
tonight she told me that monday, she's going to put her name in at bethlahem place. they'll give her a 2 bdr apartment for 200.00/month. it's a place where teen girls can live with their kids and do programs. parenting, anger management, councelling. she'll live there with her new baby.
if she does very well within the first year and we see that she's taking very good care of her new baby, no problems and she's still being responsible and all, then we'll start thinking about intergrading erika into living with her. I think by the time erika is 3, she'll be with krystal if she continues this good path she's on.
she's also here taking care of erika when she's not working or going to school. she stays until erika goes to bed then goes home. she's living with her older sister and her mom right now in this city.
she's not with loser anymore. she broke up with him a few days ago for good. she got all her stuff out of there and hasn't seen him since. she said she won't stay with anyone who calls her baby the "N" word. he called erika that. he called here and i told (well, yelled it) him to never call here again, lose the number and that he better never ever set foot on our property ever again. i won't tolerate anyone like that in erika's life. he's garbage and we just put the trash out!
so, she's doing pretty good and i'm very proud of her these days. we all are actually. she's got a lot of people rooting for her so hopefully she doesn't get discouraged along the way and keeps up her good work. i'm happy.
i still wish she hadn't of got herself pregnant though but what can you do? she is, i'm going to have another little buddle of joy to love so accepting it works better for me. i hope i have a grandson this time.
