I had told all of you some time back about her problems and the 
family's insistance that I was a terrible person for not supporting 
her and buying lavish presents. My husband is an ex navy seal. We 
took his christmas bonus and donated food and toys and toiletries to 
a spouse abuse shelter. It was amazing to see these women and 
children, with no homes of their own, laughing and smiling. To see a 
simple tube of chapstick make them so happy. To see dollar tree toys 
so eagerly recieved. I came home grateful that I had a happy loving 
home where I was safe and loved. We were home for a few hours when 
she came to the house. When we refused to let her in, it was obvious 
she was drunk, she threw a rock through the living room window. I was 
shocked as she stood at the
>  broken window screaming and threatening. My poor little chihuahua 
Ozzy was so scared but then she started throwing things at me and he 
got so angry. He lunged at her, I had to struggle to hold him. He was 
so intent on protecting me that he stepped on a piece of glass and 
didnt even realize he was hurt. I had to press charges. At least in 
jail she cant get drugs or alcohol. I rushed Ozzy to the vet and the 
officers were kind enough to give us an escort and to say with us til 
the vet got there. The vet said he was fine and didnt even need 
stitches. By bedtime I had to turn off the phone because the family 
was calling telling me I was a horrible person. But I stood by my 
decision. Then her mom showed up at the house. I thought that another 
fight was about to start. But she shocked me. She brought a bag of 
treats for Ozzy. Then she hugged me and thanked me. She said now my 
couzin would have to face the truth and get the help she needs. I 
just wanted to say

Happy new year to all of you.

YOU DID THE RIGHT THING!!  We lost my son to drugs and I keep telling 
myself that if I hadn't babied him and hid things from my husband, he 
might be here today.  I loved him so much and always tried to protect 
him.  But I was wrong. Maybe when he took things from our home when 
he wasn't supposed to I should have pressed 
charges ..maybe...mayabe..what is the sense.  We found him in his bed 
on Dec. 29th.  This is why I cannot cope with the holidays.  They are 
awful for me.  He was my best friend and the kindest person you ever 
met.  He gave away his coats to homeless...I could go on and on about 
the kind things he did.  He had nothing because he gave everything 
away.  The priest in my parish said a beautiful homily at his wake 
telling how religious he was and helped everyone.  She may hate you 
for a while, but in the long run you are really helping her.  Don't 
let your family talk you out of pressing charges.  In jail she will 
get the help she needs.  There are many programs there if he makes 
use of them.  God bless you and good luck.
