I'm so sorry. I don't understand why these bio just don't get that it's about the children and not their drama.

Wow , what is she hoping to gain at city hall? If you have custody she doesn't have right to know what school and can't pick her up at school so whatever.
Honestly , I suppose she doesn't know that with your adress it's easy to call district and find out what school your zoned for of public school.

The fact she didn't show speaks volumes, she must have too much time on her hands at the moment. I really think she needed slapping should be a legal defense.....

Pinky's back as well. Doggone it! (I'm sure she just wants to come to our house to work on her tan.)

She promised to call every day for 30 days. Then when she screwed up she told our eldest that she couldn't promise because she knows she won't do it. How bad off must she be to admit that????!?!?!?

Then she texted me to see if she could see the kids at the mall. So that's where it stands now. Last time she either forgot to confirm the time or her charger didn't work or she was out of minutes or lost her phone or whatever. I wonder what will happen this time?

JUST when we think it's safe to resume our lives, THEY pop back in.

Sara - your last sentence made the theme to Jaws pop in my head !

LOLOL!

I need to find a new counselor for the oldest. I am on a 3+ month wait list for a highly recommended woman that deals with attachment disorder. I have other options but after talking to her today I liked her. One of the things she said was not to allow any one to talk to the girls about visiting mom. If I think they might mention it to keep them away from the kids. To continue to monitor all correspondence.

We also briefly spoke about mom getting the kids back. I had given her a history. She thought the chances would be slim due to DCF's previous involvement and the girls history with mom. I feel better but I still know mom will cause problem at some point.

Addiction or mental illness they thrive on chaos. Block her phone number, hang up, ignore text. If she comes to house tell her you will call police and get order of protection. Tell school not to release information to her. You may need to show court order. If you have guardianship or custody you have right to deny visits if she is threatening. She is trying to intimidate you. I know it's not easy. Your grandchild needs you to be strong. I'm sorry for the pain you are feeling. Hope therapist is able to help.

School is out for the summer, but they were all well aware that mom was not to be at the school or talk to the girls. Town clerk will let me know if she shows up at the town hall. I do not block her texts or call since I want to know where her head is at, however I never respond to her texts or phone calls the way she would like me to. In other words I pretend I have not heard or read the threats they get no response from me. I do text her a picture of the girls if she asks for one and will let her know if her gifts have been received. She is well aware the youngest will not write to her. All mail is censured with a heavy black marker.

In the 12 years she has known me she knows she has never been able to intimidate me, that I do not give in, that the girls come first and I do not tolerate lies and addicts or thief's. She has no doubt that I will call the cops on her as I have in the past. Three times in the last three years. She knows she can not push me into a physical fight, she has tried that too. I just hate the drama she has brought into our lives and the fact the oldest thinks mom can do no wrong.

Sou dsl like you have situation under control. Good luck.

Thank you Daisy, I will need all the luck I can get at some point. Too bad the courts do not think like we do.

Pinky kept whining about seeing the kids, so I ended up taking them to the mall to meet her for an hour and a half. I took myself and my Kindle to Ruby Tuesday's and had a really nice, relaxing lunch. Then I met up with the kids and went back home.

Many of us are working to .take them listen.
