Back in 2004 my paternal grandmother passed away from lung cancer. My uncle and his wife sold her house before we the rest of her kids, grandchildren,and great-grandchildren could get what was promised to them or what they wanted. Ever since then, my dad (who is the youngest out of my grandmother's 4 children.) hasn't spoken to either his brother or his sister (the oldest sister died back in 2000 in a car accident)
Fast forward to January 2011, my sister lost custody of her kids. The kids (all four of them) were placed (eventually) in my parents care. CPS gave my sister three rules to abide by in order to have a better chance of getting them back than her boyfriend. She had to 1) get a job, 2) maintain a clean apartment and 3) have no contact with the girls' father.
My parents went by her place (which they are paying for) and found her place a disaster and he (the girls' father) was hiding in the shower. Now my parents, who never really liked him (I tried and its not easy), are barely acknowledging her as their daughter. I'm not sure I blame them.
I don't want my family to fall apart. I'm lost. I've been praying but nothing seems to help right now
