411 The Walters Bunch

Happy birthday to my first baby and my granddaughter!! After 2 weeks at an inpatient mental health facility (after being transferred there by medical transport from the emergency room while strapped to a gurney yelling and being combative), L has been released into our care, The kids are a little apprehensive about her being here since her behavior is so out of character and erratic. I can't blame them. We're on edge too. She has an outpatient group she is going to M-F from 9-3 for the next few weeks. Unfortunately, it's about 40 minutes from our house so just taking her and picking her up takes 2.5 hours.  As time goes by and we assist the detective in finding out what happened, we are more and more astounded by what is happening. This was planned. L was a pawn and she has been significantly groomed/ brainwashed. I can't talk too much about it, but there is a crazy family at our church(now former church) who I want to destroy. They are the epitome of evil and I cannot

6 years later and I FINALLY get ONE apple😂 We have been crazy busy and on an emotional rollercoaster ride this past month, but the last week has probably been the most difficult of all of our lives. We found L. I can't go into details because it might compromise the investigation, but a hospital called us when they became suspicious of the circumstances of her arrival. She is currently safe and in an inpatient mental health facility for the foreseeable future. I can say she was not taking illegal drugs or suicidal. She is there for other reasons. I cannot divulge anymore than that until everything has played out.  T has been busy trying to figure out what to carve into our pumpkins this year. He wants us to all carve the Simpsons. I think it might be neat so we'll probably do that. I can't wait to show you guys our finished product, but we won't actually do it until closer to Halloween. T is also working on perfecting his guitar music for his Christmas concert. All the

  Our Aunt treated us to dinner at the steak house.  We have been processing this quietly as family for the past few weeks. This is all we plan to say to anybody on the subject. Yes, she is NOT 18 yet. No, she did NOT have permission to leave (and selfishly did so while her little brother was at a cardiologist appointment). No, there was no big fight nor was she grounded or in trouble for anything. We have had a couple of issues with her since she joined, of all things, church choir almost 2 years ago. I think allowing her to be around public school kids was a mistake and I was never comfortable with it, but it's church choir it should be a good thing right? After an incident last year, I thought she was finally to a point where she was earning our trust back. I have ALWAYS told our kids how hard it is to earn trust, but they can lose it very easily. Anyways, T and I went to his cardiologist appointment and came home to find L gone. No note. All the pets locked up. We had no idea w
