My mother and I are moving to Arkansas. There is already too little space in this house as it is, especially with my brother being here and my raccoon needing his own room. My mom had earlier tried to get me to rent a trailor house from a friend of hers because she knew I wanted to move out of town. I wasn't going to waste the money because she would have had to help me pay my bills. That is not a problem now. Two full time workers to take care of this house + my dad moving back here with his money will make this arrangement possible - my mom and I will be able to pool our income to pay for the new place.
My niece will have no excuse to go back on her word since she has a place to take her son away from that man and she sounds sincere and plans to return to college. The man doesn't work so he does nothing to support her. It doesn't seem like there is any reason for her to go back to him. I guess I'll have to wait and see. If she doesn't keep her word and the baby starts getting hurt all the time again, I think I'll have to do something if nobody else wants to do anything. Nobody wants to cause trouble for my niece or anything but you can't let something like this happen. I would discuss it with my mom first to see if she could do something and just in case something is done like right then.
If this arrangement doesn't stop what clearly seems like child abuse to everyone in the family, would it be wrong for me to report these suspicions on my own if everyone else is just hoping the problem will go away but not doing anything? I really don't know for sure. I could report it anonymously. I hope it won't even come to that.
I am not moving just for my niece, the move was already under consideration and will later become necessary for a great student research project that I was somehow given a chance at - I can't believe that I am getting this chance. I didn't think I had a chance when I heard about it last fall and that was before I dropped two semesters in a row. It sounds like I will get it for sure as long as I don't fuck things up. I have some classes I must take and get grades of at least a B in and some training on how to do what I'll be doing. The area where this research is being done is in several locations around the TX AR OK border. I also get paid. I will most likely not start on the actual research (and getting paid) until the Spring 2015 because I won't be ready in time to join for spring 2014 and they only bring new students in during spring. There are undergrad and grad students working together and it is a multi-year study. I guess maybe I was chosen because it was clear that I really wanted it. It probably helped that I also wrote about the species in question twice before I heard about this project and got perfect grades for both papers - graded by the one who chose me for this.
I will likely screw this up. I just have to wait and see.
