I wish I could say I'm completely surprised, but I'm not. I wonder, though, if she is... if CPS will take the baby; I'm fairly certain if she stays in TN, that would be the case, but I can't imagine her staying there on her own considering that she can't work or drive due to her seizures, plus her psychiatric condition. I believe her parents live out of state so I don't know if that would follow, unless she gets stamped with a sex offender tag as a result of this.
I hope her folks do take her in. She needs the help. I wish I could have the friend I knew back, but I don't see that likely. So all I can do is wish that she gets help.
*hugs* I couldn't do anything else. Like my mother, I have a "justice streak" a mile long. I can't look the other way on something this serious, even if it means losing a friend. It's been a tough situation, really, since the three moved from Sanctuary. I know a few people were not happy in that I tried to stay neutral, but I'm of the opinion that if I'm not there, I'm not hearing all sides. I care for everyone involved (save Ebon) a great deal, so I had to be there. And I think I've spent more time on the phone this week than in the past four or five months. :)
I actually may be in Nashville next year for a writer's conference. No definite on that yet, since it's quite expensive and I don't know if we'll be able to afford it, but I'm hoping. If I can make it, I'll let you know and we can get together for dinner or something. :)
