1 Week Til Court

So decided to try out the new site and make a post. I'm still debating on if I like it or not. I don't like that I can't save my password but that could be a browser issue. I will have to investigate later.

We go to court next Wed for the custody hearing. I talked to the lawyer and she seems pretty positive we are going to win. She is putting me on the stand since I am an eye witness to a bunch of stuff and I am super nervous. Hopefully it will go smoothly.

Rehab for BM

So DH just gets a text from BM saying she is going to rehab and that SS will need to stay with us for a little while longer. She then goes on to say when she gets back on her feet he can come home.

Home to where? She has no home. And has she conveniently forgotten about the custody hearing? I sure hope that text helps our case even more. It was sent straight to the lawyer.

At least I know SS is safe for now and we don't have to worry about her coming to get him anytime soon.

Stressing

The last few days I can really feel the stress. Grandma keeps messaging me on Facebook and I am getting to the point of blocking her. I was trying to wait until after the hearing though. I ended up telling her all communication regarding SS needs to go through DH. I am so tired of being put in the middle. Between BM and Grandma, it's ridiculous. So far BM has kept to only contacting DH since she was served but I am sure this is because she thinks I am replacing her and now hates me (That hurts so much *sarcasm*).

I don’t get it

I don’t get it. We have had ss for a month and a half and he is almost potty trained and he is starting to say words. Idk if bm just wasn’t working with him at all or what. Or maybe she was Lieing about how severe his autism is. Tonight when I picked him up he asked me “where we go”. This from a kid that hasn’t said one single word. That’s not the only words he has saidsinve we have had him. I have heard him say why, no, ready, set, go, stop. I just don’t get it. Why wouldn’t a mother want the best for her child. Why wouldn’t you want your child to start talking.

Crazy is coming

So I have decided to term BM "crazy". She called me at 8:30 this morning saying she has been trying to get a hold of us and she coming to get SS. It's now 8:40 at night and she wont be here until 10:30 at the earliest.

She has threatened to kick DH a** and has threatened to shoot herself all in one phone call. She has threatened to take SS and run and no one would know where they were.

She is completely off her meds I think. (She is bipolar but I don't know if she is actually taking any, just used it to show how crazy she is acting).

Potty Training with Autism

I'm so excited. SS is almost 5 and BM hadn't tried potty training him at all. Since we have had him, we have been working hard towards potty training him. He has not had 1 accident since yesterday afternoon and he woke up dry this morning. It's been a challenge since he has no communication skills but I think it is finally starting to click. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. I was really getting discouraged since we were having to get over the communication bump. By no means is it official yet but at least we are headed in the right direction!

Grandma

I think craziness might just run in the family. DH gets a Facebook message from BM's grandma last night. She said she is going to call to talk to SS(she never calls). She then asks what DH is planning and that he shouldn't bother about going for custody because he won't win. Her reasoning, BM is SS mother. The courts won't give him custody because she is his mother. She doesn't even know what we have on BM yet they are so sure they are going to win the custody hearing. All DH responded was we will let the courts decide and the lawyer told him not to talk about the case.

Waiting...

It seems like time has just slowed rapidly down while we are waiting to go to court. Mar 15th can't come fast enough. I was super worried she was going to show up at the house and take SS but after DH talked to her yesterday I don't think she will. I will give her props though. She is leaving him in our care since she doesn't have a place to stay. She told DH yesterday the guy she is living with is kicking her out because he can't get this specific marijuana that is made with embalming fluid. I can't remember what he called it. So glad SS isn't in that mess.

Returning User

I was here over a year ago and got really good advice. I stepped away at one point because I needed to concentrate on my family. A lot has happened since then but long story short DH is now going for full custody of my step son.
