I have been praying secretly about this all week. My son's daughter lived with her Mother and her new husband of around 3 years now and the child had been telling my son about her Mother and her husbands treatment of the child. My son got her for his visitation about 3 months ago and kept her because she was fearful to go back seems the new husbands son and my exdaughter in laws son from a previous marriage, yes this is her third marriage, was beating on my granddaughter while the Mother and husband were at work. At that time the police made my son give her back to her Mother. So two weeks ago when my son picked up his little girl he found out from his daughter that her Mothers new husband had been arrested for selling drugs out the house where they live. Lots of drugs. So my son got a court order to take her out that house. This time he was able to keep her until they went to court today and the child told the judge everything and now my son has full custody. In 6 months if the Mother can prove she is clean and that she can provide a better home for her daughter than my son can she might be able to get her back. Justice has finally been done for a change. We went to court another time proving the mother was full of drugs and the judge gave her another chance and now my grandson tells us nothing about his Mother and she is still using, has no job, isn't married, lives off child support and no telling what else and lives 90 miles away from us. He gets the child all summer and every other weekend but the infuluence we have on him is very little anymore because she told him if he tells what's she's doing he'll never see his little brother again or that side of the family. This poor kid is all mixed up. But I'm so proud of my little Kayla today she told the Judge just the way it was. I think sooner than later, my Grandson will be living with his Dad too, the rate she is going she is going to overdose again. She did once and she's using now with no one looking. I'm celebrating early tonight. LOL |

How sad that your grdtr had to live like that but thank goodness the judge had enough sense to give custody to her father. Why is it that so many "experts" think the mother is always the best parent. So maddening. Let's hope and pray the boy will also get some help soon and gets out of that mess too. I'm happy for you and your son. Violet 
I've decided to live forever - so far, so good.

Thanks Violet, The other Judge knew the Mother's grandfathers girlfriend. LOL Got all of that? She works in the court with juviniles. I think she talked to the Judge and asked him for a favor. But she didn't think about my poor grandson and what he is going through having to live this way with his Mother. I told the judge that I wanted his Mother to get help for her problem. I think if he would have taken the child away from her she might have got her life together. Maybe not. But it was a shot. And if it didn't work the child wouldn't have suffered he'd be safe with his Dad. But the child worries about his little brother who is only 6 and he loves his brother. My grandson is 13 now and at a bad age. I can only pray something will happen and he too can get out of the hell hole he's having to live in. |

I hear ya Jan. Yes, she has been in my heart for a long time. She is a sweet little thing and she is her Daddy's everything. My son's ex has been a sneaky little witch ever since I met her. She pursued my son until he married her, wanted him to adopt her son from her first marriage just to hurt the boys real father, my son didn't adopt him thank goodness for that, now the poor kid finally knows his real Dad and gets visitation with him. She told everyone and the court all kinds of lies about the other Daddy which now we found out weren't true from a mutual friend. He was suppose to have beat her while they were married. Because of the lies she told, her Daddy threated the boy if he came around her house to see his baby he would go to jail. The boy never saw his son until last year when the son turned 13 and looked up his father on the internet. She wanted out of the marriage with my son, went to the battered womens shelter told them he beat her, which he didn't, and without proof they took her statement and put a restraining order on him to stay away from her so her new boyfriend, which is the guy she's married to now that was arrested for drugs, could move in with her. They moved in to my son and hers house. Because he had no money to fight her he lost everything. His house and furniture. She wanted child support from my son or else she would have given her daugther up a long time ago to him. Justice is sweet. Finally!!!!! The eyeballs are being preped for the surgery starting today. I have to scrub the lids and area around the eye twice a day with some pads and put the antibotic drops in 4 times a day until I go on Tuesday and as I know from before until the bottle of drops are empty. I'm ready. I can't wait. I'll keep in touch. Hugs Susie |
