DH was supposed to meet with BM (the Bat) at her therapist’s office today to discuss and have her sign a simple paper for the county school system giving her permission as the custodial parent for SD15 to go to school in our county. This has nothing to do with the courts, CS, or anything else this is just for SD15 to be enrolled in our county. We live in a county in MD that is considered one of the best in the state and enrolling kids from out of county can be tricky. If there are any posters on here from MD you can probably guess which county I am talking about.

BM was not only a no show she also is now claiming that she will not sign anything unless it shows that it is only good for the school year which would be fine, however, our attorney is in court all day and has already revised this stupid letter 3 times to suit bat shit BM. Bat also claimed in her last text to DH that he stole her identity (which of course he hasn't) and that she cannot trust him. DH responded back by telling her to pull her credit report to see that he has not done anything of the sort and her claim has nothing to do with what is best for SD15. I give DH credit he has been trying so hard to be civil to the Bat but is getting to the end of his rope.

SD15 has already missed school for 2 days and according to new school system she could start as soon as Friday if we get this letter to them tomorrow.

BM has not spoken to or even asked about how SD15 has been. What kind of mother doesn't even want to talk to their child especially when this is such a big move?

SD15 is still saying that she wants to live and go to school with us because she doesn't want to deal with the Bat anymore. In the past when she was trying to tell us how crazy her mother was I kind of blew it off but after the last few days and reading the nasty incoherent texts that she is sending I now totally get it. Bat is also saying that we are just trying to screw her. Out of what? Out of free babysitting and CS? We have multiple text messages from her stating that she doesn't want SD15 to live with her anymore and that it is best that she lives with us.

This is all about control and the realization that Bat is loosing her meal ticket even when somewhere deep down in her delusional brain she knows that this is what is best for both of them. Bat doesn't have the mentality to deal with normal every day situations but throw a little stress into the mix she just shuts down.

Now DH and I have to decide what is best for SD15 at this point. Neither of us wants to send her home. I even have had a turn around from not wanting SD15 to live with us to realizing that we are going to be sending her home to a terrible situation. We can't keep her any longer because soon Bat will realize that she can have DH arrested because he is not custodial and SD15 cannot miss anymore school.

DH doesn’t want to be the one that throws in the towel and give up on SD15. I think that SD15 is aware of everything that we have tried to do for her and will understand. DH gave SD15 his word that he will try everything in his power to make it happen but I think SD15 may be going home to Bat tonight.
