Donna contacted me and asked me to add this blog entry. I can't add a new one and the best I can do is edit Donna's last blog entry (John) so...
SUBJECT: Safe place
BODY: The children and I are in a safe place. We are OK physically - and doing as well as can be expected. One evening last week, I phoned the police to come to my home. Shortly after, we came to safety. I hope for a new day to dawn for us. There are people who support us.

PS: the axe is safe, too

Wow!
Dylan has graduated from high school - today! I'd enrolled him in Kayla's school district soon after he fled our home, latter part of September. This is an alternative school (thank goodness they have them for situations like ours). We were told by D. Kildruff upon intake that per D's transcripts, because D's old school had such strict standards, not only was the child not behind, but that he could graduate early.
Whoa, we said.
Well, so today's it; the boy handed in 60 pages of poetry (nice cover I thought), plus a memoir of his summmer illness (64 pages) thus gaining a whole buncha extra credit. I have just read 55 of those memoir pages. Little D. is here (at Kayla's) and we must go soon and pick up the 4 girls from school.
Kayla also graduated today! Her story I do not know in detail, but she's persevered to get those credits done - she's in regular school. Or was, rather. It is amazing that she is done early! That either of them are - that any of them are.
It was a wonderful meeting at D's school today, w/ his stalwart social workers (cause of the bipolar) S. and Sh. I was so happy on the way to the meeting because so much lovliness has come to pass and I knew we'd all be rejoicing exceedingly for Dylan. We did and they were all hugging on little Damien, and M. Eversol the advisor took poloroids of big D. in cap and gown, and D. Kildruff showed me the paperwork to sign off for D. having aceived his credit - and M. Eversol said, "a pleasure working w/ Dylan!" Which is really cool because he "are" a handful (tho a pleasure as well)
The child is well enough to work now, too. Soon he goes into full time. And he is moving again...back much closer to our part of the Twin Cities. Kayla's moving, too.
They each have graduation ceremonies in June...
And parties, we must have those!
Thank you for your prayers...or well-wishes, I really think all are the same and have acheived some beauty and relief. (Emoticon sisterly kiss)
And now I need the Otis Redding Prescription: Cigarettes and Coffee (a very wonderful song!)
