Charlie Crist's wife loses custody of two teenage daughters

9. It is so sad to hear that. It really effects the kids. We are kinda going through something

like this ourselves. My daughter-in-law's dad left her on her birthday when she was a child and it has effected her til this day. She gets depressed and if she runs out of her medication all hell breaks down. If she gets mad at you then you don't get to see the kids. Right now she is mad at me because I had the audacity when she asked if she could borrow the car and that she would be back before the kids got off the bus from school. I said ok. Well at 8 pm at night she still wasn't back and my son was home from work and the kids went home with him. Well finally I called again and it was 11:20 at night and I asked her where she was with my car? Huh was all I got and reminded her what she said. Well she got upset at me about it. I told my son that the car was the only transportation we have living in a rural area and for him going to work. I haven't heard from her in days. This has been going on for weeks now. My son and her are having problems. It seems she cares about other people then her family. She sleeps all day and doesn't clean the house. She doesn't get up to make sure the kids are going to school. She usually takes them. The bus is way to early to pick them up. They live next door. We both told her that if she can't make it that we would take them. But she is to lazy to get out of bed. Finally the school sent a letter. At first my son didn't say anything. Well all hell broke when she got up and said she was worried about her friends baby because the mother had to go to work. That did it for him and he told her and show her a letter from the school about how the children are missing school. She went nuts. She left the house and it was a week. He ended up taking a leave of absence to deal with her problems. My son works in management now and at three different stores. Two are out of town. All she ever does as for long as we can remember is constantly complain. She can't seem to hold a job down. My son said just hold your end of the deal up. He isn't asked her to be overly clean but keep the house neat and wash the dishes and do the cloths. Surely she can do that much. We didn't tell him that the last few months she has been borrowing our car before lunch and sometimes she doesn't come home til 8pm. That is because the kids want her home. The kids need a mother at home. That is my biggest grip. She doesn't want to get up in the morning and when she does get up its never with a smile. My son has had it and I have never seen him so upset that he actually cried to the point he couldn't even speak. I'd never seen him like that and it is worrisome. He went back to work and he left his daughter with us because she didn't come home. He finally talked to her mother and grandmother to tell them what has been going on. They know how she is. Now she won't talk with them either because the mother told her to grow up and be a mother and stop partying around. She didn't like it. Who knows what is going to happen. He is in overdrive worrying about his daughter. Her son is at his father's house this weekend. Honestly what kind of a mother just ups and leaves and never lets you know where you are?
