Scott,
So there have been new events to the saga concerning the little girl. The
mother stepped in with court papers to get the little girl back. After
speaking with the mother and getting to know her a bit and her background,
I realized that there is no way I could let this woman raise her. We are
going to fight to get her back with all of our power. I am an excellent
mother for my son, and there is no reason why I can be that for her. We are
going to try our best to fight for her and make her permanent in our home.
If nothing else it will show both her and my son that people who care will
do everything in their power to wrong the rights made in the world. If I
didn’t do this, not only would she be left in the hands of a monster, but my
son would never truly learn compassion. I feel horrible by how I felt, but I
was always just thinking about how life would affect my son and how I could
be the best mom to him. I realize now that I can be the same mom to my
child as well as another. I will keep you updated on the results.

Dear Enlightened,
That is some development! Not surprisingly, your original e-mail brought out
a lot of feelings from some readers (some weren’t even printable), but I
think most people will be happy to know you have chosen to help the girl by
obtaining custody and providing a stable environment for her.
It’s a great thing to live your life by example, especially around kids,
because that’s really how they learn to do the right thing. Good for you!
In the long run, you will benefit from this, your boyfriend will benefit and
most importantly, the little girl and your son will benefit as well.
If you believe in the bible you’re probably familiar with “As you sow, so
shall you reap”. If you believe in Karma you are probably familiar with the
laws of cause and effect, but in the end it’s all the same: what comes
around goes around and you pretty much get back what you put out in life.
Good luck and keep us updated!
