2/19/17 It is like something out of a movie, a soap opera, a
fiction book, but in reality it is just a story of one side of Ali’s family. It
breaks my heart to hear the dysfunctional family situations. I only know the
little bits and pieces, but it is enough to make me sick and sad. There has
been so much prior to all of these, but the latest, Ali’s aunt, her moms sister
is pregnant, expecting a child in May. She is 37 and the father/boyfriend is
19. She is in hiding because she is wanted for over 10 offenses. She is heavily
using drugs and the baby will be born an addict with all the birth defects and
problems that go along with it. The baby will be taken from her, she already
knows. Ali’s mom had been married up until last year. She had a boyfreind, was
pregnant and was in prison for the second time. Only because she was in prison
did she stay clean and gave birth to a healthy baby at the age of 40. She is
living in a half way house with the baby and the father recently made his way
back in jail. It sounds like something you hear about, not something happening right here and now. Broken people with broken lives. I know there are millions of similar stories and it breaks my heart.
