Good Morning
Boy oh Boy oh Boy! So many things have been going on, I would need a few months to sit and talk about them. However, there is something I do want to share with you all.
Many of the people who have been here awhile, know me by another name I used here, which in turn know a lot about our situation. I won't go into a huge amount of info right now, but we are and have been raising 2 of our gk's since their birth's. My DD is the mother of the two we are raising and she has a 1 yr old now too.
During the course of our conversations over the past few days/weeks, she has been telling me of incidents of abuse inflicted on her by the person she married (I tend not to use the term man here). He is not the bio of the 2 we are raising. Anyway, my SIL has major anger issues going on constantly. According to my DD, he hit her (DD) and/or pushed her causing her to fall and slice her leg open, which required stitches. He also smashed her cell phone so she couldn't call for help. He's chased her with a box knife cutter because she had the baby in her arms and was wanting to leave him because of the fighting and arguing. He told her that if she tried to leave him then he would hurt himself and her (my DD).
I told her that she needed to get away from him and take the baby too because who knows what's going on when she's not around him. He's not working because she said they can't afford DC. She is going to school, working a part time job at the school and working a part time job after school as well. I told her that someone is probably going to call CPS because things just aren't adding up. She wanted me to do it.
I called CPS this morning and made a report. I told them what I had seen personally with my own eyes and also told them what she told me. I told them the reason why my DD's husband isn't allowed to be anywhere near my kiddo's (the ones we are raising) alone. I told them of his anger outbursts. I told them about yelling constantly at the baby. I also told them that my daughter isn't always truthful with me BUT these things she is telling me, concerns me to the limit. I just want my youngest GD protected.
Hopefully this all comes to an end soon and my youngest GD can be protected from his tyranny, violence and abusive behavior.

Wow mimi, my prayers are with you. My DD get involved with abusive men as well the last one was a doozy, He gave one of the twins a closed head injury because he got pissed and threw her across the room, she was 26 months old. CPS took all three of her kids away. He was arrested for the abuse and my DD bailed him out, unbelievable, yeah? At any rate its been 3 yrs and she is finally away from him but because he found another woman. I'll keep you all in my prayers because the most dangerous time for her is when she tries to leave. I hope she is serious about getting away and not repeating the pattern.
