Well, as per Yogi Berra, it's ain't over, till it's over. SD's apology on the internet post, was a big joke. She just directed it to society, that her comment was misconstrued. My husband had a fit when he came home and read it. He contacted biomom and they had a clashing battle on the phone Friday afternoon. It didn't resolve anything. I have to go take all the information to our local police department on Monday to file official criminal charges and then also consult with an attorney about civil charges for defamation of character. I'm really pretty heartsick about the whole thing but on the other hand, SD has absolutely no remorse at all for what she's done. I don't know what planet she's one, but it's not earth. I seriously think she needs to be in a psych ward somewhere for quite awhile to be analyzed. There is no way that biomom can manage her. We have just found out biomom has been out of work with back injuries and had several back surgeries. She has been taking painkillers for months and has been high as a kite with no knowledge of what stepdaughter has been doing with the band of gothic nuts. I am just absolutely sick. And I have my husband here who is telling me that my SD is "dead" to him. I know that really the right thing is probably to go through with criminal prosecution but I don't know how to explain to biomom without breaking her heart, that it is really for the best. I think, actually it's probably about the last chance left to save SD from herself and get her away from that crowd. And at this point, I don't have anything else left to lose, because she already hates me anyway, and never wants to see me again. With this broad stroke of what SD has done, with the accusations, it is possible that she could affect four different people's livelihood--and biomom, my husband, could lose government security clearances, and thus lose their employment, SS could lose his security clearance, which would result in him being discharged from the military, and defammation of character for me, would result in loss of employment for me, and also lack of potential clients in both accounting and real estate industry. I have also been sick to my stomach this entire weekend, and been gulping down Pepto Bismal. I haven't been able to sleep and have been up most of the night, and have been in tears. I am so embarrassed and ashamed that this has happened to me. Tomorrow morning I have to start off fresh and hit the pavement to get some help so I am hoping that something will start to fall into place and I will know exactly the right thing to do.
Regards,
Sweetie
