Let it snow

Thetis's picture

It snowed a big dump last night and my little hometown looks like a beautiful Christmas postcard. However I am sitting here in my house coat feeling sick to my stomache. I should have my munchkin with me today. We should be outside sliding down my front lawn on one of those snow saucers that I have in my garage, or building a snowman. We had so much fun last winter. It kills me to know that we wont get the chance to play all the games that we should be playing. Instead she's been shipped off to her grandmothers house for some reason I can't understand. Her mother has only seen her for five staight days in the last four months, but the judge gave my SD to her. Now shes with her grandmother instead of at home with us, and BM has made it quite clear that we don't get to have her at all until Christmas. This is not right. That little girl deserves a home with loving parents.
Fuck its going to be a long day.

Sad This really makes me sad for you Thetis. Did the judge not set up a visitation schedule for DH? Why is she with her grandmother?

No visitation schedule. We have reasonable and generous access. She is with her grandmother to "visit" however I think its because her 20 year old mother is not used to having to be responsible for her any more. Oh and her boyfriend (though a great guy) is not used to being around kids.

I'm so confused as to why the judge didn't place a visitation schedule with the custody modification? I'm pretty sure you've mentioned this before, and If I'm correct, BM doesn't live in your state right?

Province... we're Canadian. Here it is word for word from the court order.
Dh shall have reasonable and generous access to the child, SD, as agreed to by the parties including, but not limited to, one month each summer commencing in 2010, one week at Christmas including Christmas day in alternating years commencing 2009 and alternating spring breaks when the child starts school.

I have no other option but to hang in there right? I just hate how this creeps up on me.

((((((Thetis)))))))....I can't imagine how u must feel...for those who think a SM cannot love a child as if they were her own, I'm sure Thetis can tell u that we can...after having FC of my skids for years, if they were taken from me, I don't know what I would do....I wish I could say something to make u feel better....but if yur DH is granted reasonable access, can't he make arrangements to see SD before Christmas?....my thoughts are with u.....

A mother is not defined by the "b" or the "s" in front of her name, she is defined by how she handles the "mother" part.....

Should be able to, but the only thing she has agreed to is letting us have SD for two hours on Halloween so we can take her to the fire works. Idk reasonable to some is not to others I guess.
