Today I took Heidi to see Dr. R. The whole family's been upset and out of sorts since little Tomas was taken away and Heidi wrote quite a bit about it (he asks us to write down what's been happening since we last saw him). Anyway, he thinks there has to be some emotional stuff not being addressed and asked us if Lin would go see him. Ha. I told him I have NO idea where she is and she would probably rather drop dead than hear any suggestion I had to make. Heidi decided to try talking to her. Heidi was pretty upset so Dr. R gave her a note to stay home and get some rest. Good thing, too, because just after we got home who showed up at the door but Linda and Tomas!
It was so good to see the baby and to hold him. He reached his arms out to me and I knew he'd missed me too. Heidi and I played with Little T while Linda roamed around and collected more of their stuff. The one time I tried to have a conversation with Lin we had to stop after just a couple of sentences. I don't know what is wrong with that girl. I asked her if she ever planned to tell us where she was staying or when we could see Tomas and she said, "I don't want to talk about that right now." Heidi told Lin about Dr. R, that he was doing research and could do an evaluation and if she needed, supply her with meds she'd need and they even PAY participants but -- as I suspected -- Linda didn't seem interested. Whatever.
I focused the rest of my attention and energy on Tomas, who was full of energy and curious. I wonder what he thinks of all this? I was glad that he remembered Heidi & me -- I mean, I figured he would but it's been so long. A week is a long time in the life of a baby. I also grabbed TB's camera and I think we must have taken 2 or 3 dozen pictures. It was just wonderful to be able to hold him, sing to him, and play with him.
When they left, I couldn't even look at her, I felt so angry.
And, by strange coincidence, all of a sudden the phone was ringing off the hook with people looking for her: the court, DYFS, other places people etc. And what could I say? Sorry, don't know where she went, obviously she didn't want us to know.
Hope they didn't have anything "important" to tell her. :P
Pictures and RPI a little later!
