Ok guys, I've come here before asking for your prayers and good wishes, and I'm in need of them now like never before. And for reasons I'd never have considered. I can't go into them all, but it involves grandson's baby momma. She's in a world of trouble, and because of it CPS has taken my great grandbaby. It's been like a really bad tv or movie script. And this nightmare will be going on for quite a while.
You're all like extended family, and right now I covet your support. I am hurting.
Thank you!
PS- Check your PM, Sim
Quoting: justanothergranny I've had to get an attorney because they are interpreting the guardianship court order to mean that the mom was given guardianship, not the rest of us. They did come do a home check yesterday and I was told they found nothing to correct, so that's a positive. But from all I'm hearing, unless my attorney can get the guardianship orders straightened out, which came from a District Judge by the way, CPS can keep Sadie as much as a year in foster care.
I've been crying a lot. The issues with the mom happened at the other great grandma's house. Nothing has been found to have happened while the baby was in my care, but they are doing a hair follicle test on her, and a lot of other tests. And so, this isn't going to be resolved any time real soon.
Quoting: justanothergranny Just found out there is an Adversary Hearing for the guardians on the 28th, where they will advise us of the charges, and of their reasons for withholding guardianship. Glad I will have a good attorney before then. From what I read online, they could actually charge the other great grandma for allowing the injuries (over a several month time) to occur.
What a nightmare!
Quoting: justanothergranny It just breaks my heart to read this. This world can be so sick and unfair at times, especially when it comes to personal and emotional things like these. And even though I firmly believe there still is much more good than bad, it truly makes one doubt the good in our society at times.
Rules and laws, lacking humanity or compassion. Damn drugs killing our loved ones. Angry, stressed people trampled under the wheels of our increasingly speeding out of control society, up to a point where they do horrible things. And so called leaders, who should be an example to their people and unite them, only cause more anger, violence, stress and division, on all sides of the spectrum.
Jazzy said it right:
"I don't recognize this world anymore."Granny, I am sorry you continue to have to go through this. We know how hard you are fighting, day and night. Not only to get your family back on track, to get your grandson and his wife back to a life away from destruction, to keep your great granddaughter from harm. I can imagine that at times it must make you feel like you are fighting windmills. You solve one thing and another pops up. That must be so energy draining.
I admire, appreciate and respect you so much for not giving up ever. You are a super woman, even though I know how much this must break your energy and heart as well. No one could ever blame you for anything sweetheart. Even warriors like you need sleep and a break for the better at times. You are an example of strength and determination to so many of us. You motivate and empower us.
Know that when that hearing is, that room will be filled with positive thoughts and prayers, from all of us here and beyond. Prayers that you are given the guardianship for her. That little girl needs a warm, loving, stable home, to grow up without the fear of being hurt, yelled at, bullied, abused. Like it should be for all children in this world. She is first priority. She has all of that with you. You are her loving future. So that is where my most positive thoughts and prayers go first. To her and you. My heart goes out to you and her.
And as for your grandson and his wife / girlfriend, I truly hope that one day they get out of this mess. I know this weighs heavy on your heart as well. But this can not be fixed with band aids, good intentions, promises, love or family advice anymore. As difficult as it is, you need to let go and focus on that little girl. First priority, also for your own mental health and energy level.
It has been going on for too long. Authorities need to step in with firm measures. If prison can get them back on track and keep them from doing harm, to themselves and others, then that should be the ruling of the court. If anything, it will help you get back to a life where you don't have to cry all day, where you can get your smile back, looking at that little girl finding laughter and light in life. In the knowledge that you are the one that fought for that. Positive energy creates more positive energy among us.
Sending you all my love Granny and know you have a whole family in all of us here to stand with you, every day and for sure on the 28th at that hearing. Whatever happens, you are never alone, ever.
And I apologize for this long reply here, but I am sure Sim won't mind at all. This crew here is truly one in a trillion and more than just about earthquakes caused by nature, but about those of the human kind as well. Much love and respect to all for creating that atmosphere.
