Family is so wonderful.....sometimes.

Well this last weekend was crazy. It started out my family member was yet again arrested on Thursday for possession of drug paraphernalia. She called another family member to be bonded out. That person called to see about getting her bonded out but he was advised she was put on a 24 hour hold for suspicion of fraudulent misuse of a credit card. She was able to be bonded out the next day on Friday. So the person she asked to bond her out, in fact did. She was to go to his house with no phone and no way to go anywhere. This person ended up getting her a phone anyway. As soon as she had the phone she called some of her “friends” and one of them picked her up and she was gone Saturday. This person who bonded her out called me and told me he was going to revoke her bond and I told him that was his decision and he could do what he wanted, I wasn’t in it. I refuse to bond her out, family or not, on drug charges not to mention for stealing a credit card. She was gone all day Saturday. Then Sunday morning the person who bonded her out called me again and told me he was thinking of revoking her bond and I again told him that it was his decision, I was not in it. He said that she had texted him and said she had a job interview (on a Sunday) and was then going to follow someone to Chicago. So that is why he wanted to revoke her bond.

After all that, everything seems fine. My best friend came over with her husband and child and we were all just hanging out. Then I get a call from my family member’s husband asking me if his child seat was still in my husband’s car from when we let them borrow the week before. I asked my daughter to run out to my husband’s car and check to see if the seat was still there. My daughter comes back in and tells me that her dad’s car isn’t out there. I told her it should be so I go check and sure enough the car was gone. I called the police department and filed a report. I then drove all over town as well as the next two towns over to see if I can find it. About midnight Sunday night I received a call from the police department saying they found my car and had it stopped and asked if I wanted it towed or I wanted to go pick it up. I told them that I wanted to go pick it up while the police was there so I can make sure nothing was missing. I get to the location and who do I see being arrested, my family member. She wasn’t the one actually driving but she was still there. So yet again she goes to jail.

We found out that somehow she was able to get into my house, while we were asleep, and take the key to the car off of my husband’s key ring and that is how she was able to take the car without breaking anything. She tried to tell the cops that I let her borrow it, that is why she had a key, and she was on her way to bring it back.

So as you can see my family member is back on meth and it has been very, very crazy. I hope things start to look up for her and she can get clean and be there for her children.
