As most of you know, I am getting married next May. Don't worry,
that's not my problem. LOL What IS my problem has to do with my
nineteen year old daughter Melanie and my 21 year old son Andre.
Andre is about to be released from Juvi-jail on October 1st, and is
apparently being bused to Dallas and dropped off with supposedly no
where to go. (No, he can't come stay with me, and he wouldn't want
to anyway). Let me set the scene for those of you who don't know me
yet:
Andre has been serving over four years (minimum of three from a
twenty year sentence) for molesting my youngest daughter when she
was little. Andre was sodomized numerous times by a M.S. when we
lived in Chicago when he was in second grade. Andre admitted guilt
to Melanie (they have always been very close) right in front of me
during one of my visits to see him in jail. Even after admitting it
to Melanie, she still to this day says it was all just a big
misunderstanding and it didn't really happen the way it was claimed,
etc. Blah blah blah. So anyway.....Andre has always been a HUGE liar
and master manipulator, and I simply don't trust him anymore.
Okay, Andre is getting out on October 1st. He cannot go live with
his father in Chicago because his victim now lives with her dad. So,
parole restrictions require him to stay in Dallas, get a job, get an
apartment, etc. I had been told way back when that when he got out,
he'd be transferred to a halfway house, but somehow that's all
changed. I've tried to get answers, but no one returns my calls.
Anyway, Andre called Melanie in Chicago and asked her to talk to my
neice Jesika (you all know her here) and ask Jesika if Andre could
stay with her for a "couple months" while he gets work, apartment,
etc. Melanie includes in the email to Jesika and I quote.."Do not
tell my mom about this email". And, she had the nerve to tell
Jesika "If you love me, you'll do this". If you love me?!!!!!!! I've
got smoke coming out of my ears!!!!! Melanie has made no attempt to
contact Jesika for a long time now, but suddenly she needs something
and Boom the attempted guilt trip on Jesika. Plus!!!! Melanie is one
of my Bridesmaids in my upcoming wedding!!! Don't tell my mom about
this email?!!!! Melanie told Jesika in the email that she and a
friend of hers are making a "road trip" right at the time Andre gets
out of jail to visit him. "Don't tell my mom about this email" tells
me, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but Melanie intends to come
down here on the sly, visit Andre while here in town, and not so
much as even let me know she's coming or wants to see me or can she
stay with me while she's here, etc? Do I seem angry?! I am!
I feel betrayed. I don't have a problem at all that she feels close
to her brother and wants to help him, but for her to try to do all
this on the sly and purposely ask Jesika not to tell me, I smell a
rat! It honestly makes me question if I want her in my wedding.
Okay, I've vented. Smoke is still fuming, but I'm done venting.
Lin If I could figure out the dang emicons, they'd be smokin!!!!!!!
