Sweetie emailed me with this.

Subject: Just when you thought this week couldn't get any worse...

C (X's stepdad M's new wife) called with bad news about [M - X's husband] and X,
which I won't repeat via email. Call me at home.
==========
I called him & he said C had called & left all her #'s and wanted
me to call if I wanted to hear the whole story, or whatever.
Translated: call if I want to volunteer for kid-duty. Gah.
==============
Me to J-Law:

In case you were wondering, YES, this week *can* get
crappier. X and [M - X's husband] were arrested for drugs, their
house was apparently so filthy and full of animals
that it has been boarded up, and so now C
(X's stepdad's wife [Xs mom passed and he remarried]) has the kids. In the meantime, the job
market here was/is so bad that [X's stepdad]. is in CA on a
contract gig, so here is poor Childfree C, quiet
cat lover, collector of breakable gorgeous things,
with those 3 kids in her house. They have plenty of
room, the kids will be fine...BUT...dear GHOD. She is
going to be clinging to the ceiling in no time. She's
a big neat-nick & very fussy about manners, etiquette,
etc. Those kids are going to ruin her sanity. I feel
awful, but I don't feel up to taking on any
responsibilities in this situation. *sigh* this is
just SAD. Unbelievably fucking sad. And, if they were
into drugs back in April when the crap hit the fan, it
explains a lot about that whole bizarre situation.
