about on hour ago I get a text from my daughter asking for the address of the safe program which I sent her the last time she asked which was two weeks ago. My 8year has a birthday coming up July 4th and I know that is why she has made contact with me again. The next text i get is wanting to know when his party is and stating she would like to be there. Now the day after Easter I let her know that there would be no contact with the boys except thought the safe program. I have had to repeat myself everytime she makes contact with me,always asking about the program (the phone number, address, contact name ect.) This time like others she claims to have registered online and called leaving messages but no one calls back. It is funning I had to go down to the office to register into the program so I know that there is no way she did it online. They have to interview you first before you can get rigestered. then she ask me how they are and about what team he is playing on. My only reply was giving the address again. I am mad now because I know she just wants to come in and be this mommy have a bit of glory of being his mother, but she isnt his mother. I am. sure she gave birth to him and left him with me when he was 6months old to sit time out in jail to return when he was 9months old and take him away. Then at 3years of age I am taking both away from her. I just don't understand why she thinks she can just text me thinking I am going to say sure you can come to his party.(which we have already had ) Ooh it just chaps me.
scgrandmma, how sad it is to say I am sorry you have another grandchild coming, it shouldn't be that way. I should be rejoicing with you. Instead it is anticipation of the pain and sorrow you and your grandchildren will have to endure. Still, I think God has a plan for every life that comes into this world. God bless you.
I also got text messages from bio mom on Monday, Gd's birthday. She wanted to talked to her on the phone, nope will not happen, I was in a meeting so I ignored the messages, next she wants to send her boyfriend over with stuff for the girls,. OK I do allow that, he is 30 years older then she is, older then I am and seems to be a quiet decent person. He just drops things off on my porch. Before I can respond I get another message that sounds like she is on her way over. DUH not allowed. I finally text her back saying her BF can drop stuff off but I never heard from her again and nothing was delivered.
Funny, if I can delay her just an hour or so she forgets and moves on to her life without kids. She also says she got in touch with the visitation center, not sure if she did or her step dad did it for her but no one showed up for the intake appointment.
It is interesting to read the similar situations we all encounter.
