Mom texts my Dad's Mom on 2/1/2018

"Major major drama with sister today and she complained to pediatrician about situation I need to stay away from her - even my dad agreed I'm just having really bad luck between him and family... Wish I was there too I know you would help me... So we were at pediatritian, my niece Cleo was going through my bags in exam room, dumping them out, ect. Apparently a small piece of Adderall was in a bag and she put in her mouth. Total total accident. Sister had to go to ER - she's totally fine. But heard her hysterically crying complaining to docor about me and the situation. How much she was suffering - she can't do that - she already complained to my psychiatrist"
