Progress is being made.

#1 Trust me, the girl aint showing up here. nothing would please me more, but she aint that stupid, and she is manipulating and calculating. Bad move to come to my door.

#2 new phone # happening tomorrow. for today, his phone is OFF! He started to communicate with her, but I took his phone.

#3 we have a letter of resilation of lease. Meaning he felt unsafe enough in that home that the police had to be called (incident report is on its way) and under CT law he has 30 days to notify the landlord in writing that he vacated the premesis in fear for his safety or the safety of a child in his care. I have the letter to the landlord written, and ready, just need to get cops report faxed tomorrow. He is legally no longer obligated to that hugely expensive house she demanded they rent.

#4 I threw away about half his clothes and am washing the other half. DH is outside wiping down the rest of his cat peed belongings.

#5 humane officer will be called tomorrow. No way will I let those animals stay in that house!

#6 he is safe, and protected here. He has much work to do, but he couldnt ask to land in a better spot to get started. His church mentor will be here tomorrow to talk to him about opportunities, and We are set up to do some soup kitchen work tomorrow as well. Nothing shows you how lucky you are till you see those who have even less.

Yes, he is still messed up in the head from her lies, manipulations, and the way she baits him into an arguement is truly masterful work. She is skilled at what she does. She shant come within a mile of MY home with or without a restraining order or she shall meet the full length of my measuring stick. I am well trained, well armed, and wont hesitate to protect this broken boy. Abuse is abuse no matter whether its a male or female that is being abused.

Now, I need to get him up, and start him accepting responsibility for the things he is responsible for, and helping him untangle yesterday so he can step into tomorrow.

Keep up the prayers, I truly believe they work miracles.
