Ymad, about that grandbaby...

[Guest guest]

Ymad,

That is so sad about your grandaughter and I even feel for the

stepsister who deserves a better environment. Is meth involved? If

so, then you should be able to voice concern to CPS. Is there a

possibility that you could get custody?

Kids exposed to drugs, or drugged out parents receive so little in

the way of nurturing and growth. I am glad that you can take your

granddaughter out for special time with you. It sounds like her

mother says that about the stepsister missing her to make you feel

guilty as well. That or she really wants you to take both kids so

that she can be alone to get high.

This is enough for you to be dealing with- so if your FOO calls and

wants to know why you aren't rushing to nada's side, you can just

ssay that you are busy with your own family!

And no offense to you about the nursing home. I just had to defend

the good ones that are left alone : )

Di.

Hello Di,

Thanks for your answer. My husband and I used to ask to take Gabby out, too,

but her mother always said no, Gabby was a handful. Now she is a monster and

very hard to handle. And doesn't want to take her along.

I believe Crystal is afraid we'll steal Gabby's affections, that is why she

hasn't allowed us to take Gabby on a long weekend.

I have fought for custody for a year now. Crystal is sober and has been

working, 10 days now, and the courts feel she is ready to take on the two girls

full-time. They have given her access to very cheap public housing and which

supposedly requires UAs.

Yes crystal meth is the drug of choice. They (Mom and stepdad) sold and

manufactured it in their condo at the time they had the girls. I am aware that

the baby is probably suffering from drug withdrawals and the therapist believes

she is bipolar.

I have to stand in the abyss between her and insanity. I have too. She is me.

Love

Ymad

Ymad,

That is just so sad. I am glad that you and your husband are there

for that litle one. You may be her only source of normalcy.

Good thoughts and prayers,

Di.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Autumn. My heart also goes

out to Gabby. I know her 5 year old sister should not be responsible

for her - but someone should be.

With being labeled a " monster " at four years old - it sounds like she

has a hard life ahead of her, being blamed for behaviors created by

irresponsible adults.

It sounds like Atumn was made the " all good " child and Gabby was made

the " all bad " child within the family.

My heart goes out to her with much sadness.

Hello Di,

Thank you. We go to court on March 29 again. The 6th time in 7 months.

I hate courts. I'd rather have surgery, again and again, rather than to go to

court. It is especially painful when a child is ripped out of your arms, as

Autum was from ours.

(We had her only for a month).

I have a good lawyer. The mother will probably regain custody.

I am just praying that I can accept God's will.

Hello Free,

Exactly right, Autum is the gifted, golden child. Gabby is the dark rebel.

Gabby's Dad just died of a drug overdose. I should feel bad, but I don't. He

exposed both those kids to crystal meth, and they were neglected and abused. I

blame him and I feel justice was done.

Autum has recently tested positively for sexual abuse. She keeps breaking down

when pressed for the identity of the perpetrator.

I am a very tired child tonight. Thank you guys for being so supportive.

Love

I'm with you on that court stuff. I wish they could make courts with

drive-up windows.

I'm fine with accepting God's will. Accepting a judge's decision is

sometimes a different matter. I do not see the two as mutually

exclusive. I know some judges THINK they are God...but......

Humans are the only animal that have set up a system to take away our

natural instincts to protect our young. We have courts and agencies

looking out for the " best interests of the child. " ahem...

But sometimes - you just want to bite somebody!

Other animals get to do that. But we humans just have to smile and

say " Yes. Your honor... "

If you bite the judge - you get charged with contempt.

But sometimes...it would be worth it..if it helped to protect your

young. Unfortunately it does not.
