Guest guest Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Sue, My friend's daughter died and the husband cut off the right for my friend and her husband to keep seeing their 2 grandchildren. (He did this probably feeling guilty that he very quickly took on a live-in after their mom died). In any case, the grandparents took him to court and now have WEEKLY visiting rights and have their grandchildren each Sunday, all day. They are thrilled, the grandkids (ages 6 and 3) are delighted and all worked out well. Don't give up grandparents " rights " without a fight!

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 The problem is that they live quite a distance away. We saw the kids when we went to visit my son, or when he came to visit us. We did the visiting with each other on the weekends when he had the kids. Since he's not allowed any contact with them for the time being, that can't happen. It is a very hurtful situation.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hi Sue: I feel very sorry for what you and your family are going through right now. Your letter brought up some very painful times I have gone through. My son married a girl who he thought he knew. She is a devious person. She failed to tell him she had spent a lot of time committed in a mental hosp. and that she is Manic Depressive, has Skitzoprenia, paranoia, a habitual liar, and a vicious manner. She stopped her birth control pills to get pregnant, and didn't tell him until she got pregnant. This is when she told him about all her mental illnesses. Needless to say, things got really bad, and when the baby was 6 months old, my son had had it. She broke him financially, emotionally, every way she could. She told the worst lie a wife could say about her husband., about their baby. It was proven she lied, but the damage was done. The court gave her custody of my granddaughter, which was the first error the court committed. The second error was to never monitor her while on the Psysch. meds. she always stopped. The only thing my son asked the court was to monitor her while on these drugs, and that I could see my granddaughter. Of course they said no. The last time I sw her and held her, was 15 years ago. Her mother refuses to let me see her, has told her horrific things about my son, me and the entire family. The whole thing has broken my heart. My father, my granddaughter and me are all only children. She has no one. I got a call yesterday from the Childrens court up north, that my granddaughter is in foster care, her mother committed again for the umteenth time. Now the family court realizes the errors of their way. It took them 15 years!! That court would not see me, nor honor my petition to see my little granddaughter. Her so called mother has filled that poor childs head with lies, more lies, she is a very vicious, hateful person. Each time she has been committed, and there have been many, they let her out, and give her full custody of my granddaughter, knowing fully she needs to be committed for life. They are calling me tomorrow a.m. I will see what they have to say. My son is done with all that insanity. He will not talk with them anymore. Each time when he thinks he will have her, they change their mind, let that bitch out of the mental hosp. and it starts all over again. He can't take it anymore. I have prayed each night that I live long enough so I can see her on her 18th birthday, and spend some time with her. I have sent letters to her through the social worker, and she has the choice to open them or not. Last time I spoke with them, they were in the process of testing her to see if she has that disease. This should never have happened. The court failed my granddaughter and her family. She has so many cousins, etc., aunt, and a loving grandmother. All this mattered not to that kangaroo court. My little granddaughter needs stabilty in her life, and a loving family who want her in their lives. They are all just waiting for me to bring her home to them. Do you know how lonely an only child feels at times, and not let her know she has a huge wonderful family she can have in her life. I so hope you get to see your grandchildren. Some custodial parents are hateful, controlling, vindictive, and use their children for their own sick ways. They don't care about their feelings, just use them as a pawn to get back at their former spouse and use the child as a weapon. It is so horrific. I will pray you get to see them soon. All children need and deserve to have a loving family who care about them and who they can see. Children are children, not something that a person owns, and they have no right to do this to them. I can only imagine what my granddaughter has been through. I hope that bitch rots in a mental hosp. for the rest of her life. I have cried many, many times about the loss of my granddaughter. She is alone and needs her loving family around her. The damage her so called mother has done to her is unforgiveable. The way I see it, the court up there cares not about children. I called over 20 lawyers up there to help me get to see her, and you know what, the minute they heard her name, no one wanted anything to do with this case. I kid you not. She is that insane. Just file some papers on your own, for grandparents rights to see your grandchildren. It is called, Pro Se, and you file them on your own, with the fee for filing. I did this and they refused my petition, and sent my check back. I called my cousin who is a Judge in Mass. and he said " That would never happen here, and you would have visitation rights " .. Not so in another state. I will pray for you and your son and family. It is the worst thing to go through. Never give up. They put you through hell. My health was very critical at that time, and my doctor said enough Barbara. I thought I was going to die, so I had to let it go. All my life I have loved children and loved being with them. I could not wait for grandchildren. Who would have thought that all this insanity would ever happen. I have pined for her all these years. It has been torture. Wishing you good days ahead when you have your grandchildren back in your loving arms.. I care.... Hugs, Barbara > > > Sue, > > My friend's daughter died and the husband cut off the right for my > > friend and her husband to keep seeing their 2 grandchildren.
