Our 3rd. baby was due anytime now and his family was having some issues with his sister. She was having another "episode" due to her mental illness. He felt we needed to move back to help out. He found a job back east and soon after our 3rd baby was born we packed up moved back to have his sister live with us. We found a home to rent for us and his sister and his brother, wife and children. We were one big happy family. We had a lot of good times and some bad. His brother found a house to buy and we were having another baby, our 4th so they moved out. My husband had a hard time with all this. He felt rejected by his bother. He took it personal, especially when he found out we were paying more rent them his brother and this was not even discussed with us. He felt betrayed. We had been helping pay for his bothers son to go to private school and we wouldn't of minded paying extra if he had just discussed it with us.
Soon there was a young boy hanging around maybe he was about 13-14. He would come by and my husband would tell me about the sad life this kid had. His Mom did drugs, was poor, had to sell herself to feed her son & habit ect.. When Christmas came around he bought some presents with this boy for the boys family .We were Christians and being a christian you help others especially kids so I didn't think much of it until this one particular day when we were all getting into the car to go swimming as a family to the YMCA. This boy came by and next thing I know my husband says he can't go swimming with us he has to talk with this kid. I was livid!!! I was so angry that this kid was more important then me and his 3 kids. I have no idea if anything inappropriate happened with this kid but this incident was not ok with me. Now when I look back there was a sign I just couldn't see.
