I think perhaps the substance abuse isn't the only thing going on with Gracie, are they going to evaluate her Mental Health also? I'm so sorry to hear the little Guy was assaulted while she was under the influence, but glad it's on videotape. So much abuse is never seen or proven.<br />Bohemianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743017084098726581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333912009540131399.post-75063845291631591062021-11-07T12:27:30.959-08:002021-11-07T12:27:30.959-08:00When all else fails, there is Nature in its astoun...When all else fails, there is Nature in its astounding glory.

I hope you can keep seeing the wonderful influence you have on Jack…his vocabulary increases because you both talk to him & listen to his ideas & opinions. He is polite because he is treated with consideration, and he engages with visitors because you entertain your friends with thoughtful hospitality. <br />There is no better place for him to be. I hope that you remain healthy, energetic, well…just yourselves…because that is clearly what Jack needs, and what will ease your heart during this unbelievably difficult time. May you be held in the light..Maryhhhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149364036179872478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333912009540131399.post-61433975739994677142021-11-01T11:54:02.224-07:002021-11-01T11:54:02.224-07:00I guess that since you can't control Gracie or...I guess that since you can't control Gracie or what she does or does not do in this situation, the only thing you can do is to stay in touch with your own self, your heart, and yes, stay connected with nature as much as possible. And play things by ear, as you said. There are so many of us out here who are so glad that Jack is safe and being loved and cared for and are in awe of you and your husband for taking this on. You really are amazing.

I wasn't sure if you meant the social worker or Gracie when you said, "She supports our application for guardianship".
