Dumb Girl

Over the weekend I went up to see my parents. It was a nice time as always and it was great to see them considering the last visit was during Thanksgiving. Part of the reason we went up was to drop Zachary and my niece off. They both had school vacation and I really did not want Zachary hanging out with his friends (I am not fond of most of them) or hanging out at his dad's house either.

On Saturday my niece got a call from another family member that her mom had been arrested and was in jail. Apparently she got messed up on something, broke into a 65 year old man's apartment, hit him on the head with a frying pan, stole $100 and some pills. The pills turned out to be heartburn medication. (dumb girl) Thankfully the old man is ok! Needless to say, my niece didn't stay for the week, she came home with my husband and I. I don't know what the deal is with this girl, she has been in numerous drug treatment centers and just can't seem to keep clean. My niece doesn't live with her (thank god), she lives with another family member and my brother is now trying to make her go back to New York. As far as I know he dose not know about this but it won't take to long for him to find out. Things in his household are pretty messed up too. No drugs as far as I know, buy my niece does not want to move back there. I feel bad that such a young girl has had to go through so much crap.
