I haven't really ever posted a lot of backstory on my girls' birth family as I was afraid of the Google search and someone recognizing the story. My jaw dropped this weekend reading the story about Honey Boo Boo's mom as this story is vvveerrryyyy similar to birth mom's. However, she does not have custody of any of the kids and unfortunately the perp was DD2's birth father. I really cannot make this up.
I sincerely hope CPS gets involved in that messed up situation to make sure the kids are safe.
Unfortunately, we have a somewhat similar story in our family. It's heartbreaking what some adults will ignore or pretend doesn't exist for selfish reasons and low self esteem. I have wished someone would advocate for that little girl long before this situation, but hopefully this makes it to where something HAS to be done.
