I'm Back!
Things have been kind of hectic around here for the past few weeks. My daugter finally left her husband and now she and her three kids (7, 4, and 18 mths.) are living with me. I will do anything to help them out. So, after living alone for nine years I am re-adjusting. There have been a couple very stressful situations with the husband and the in-laws. But, she has a great lawyer and some good amo to use against him for gaining full custody of the kids. Also Michigan is a mothers' state. I've missed being on and reading all the great comments.

hey liz,
i understand about re-adjusting. i was only alone for a year and my son came back from the military. even though he doesn't make many waves and isn't home much i have found that i like my aloneness and am slowly adjusting. i wish the best for your daughter and kids. she has a great mom.

Hi Liz,
Glad to have you back. I know things must be pretty chaotic for you right now. It is really fortunate for your daughter you have room in your house to help her out. We did this a couple of years ago and i will be forever grateful for the chance to help. It made a huge difference in our daughter's life. She is fortunate to have you.. It took quite a while for us to help our daughter get things worked out. But with you all working together I am sure you can make it fine. My prayers will be with you all.

Hi All, thanks for your thoughts and prayers. The kids saw their dad for the first time today since Aug. 23rd when he came to my house and got violent with their mom and myself, (pre-trial on that is the 25th). He was allowed parenting time from 12-6 with his dad present and a court order to have them back by 6. His dad picked them up and dropped them off. The kids were very nervous about seeing him, afraid he would hurt them or not bring them back. It is so sad that when divorce happens the kids seem to suffer the most. They did end up having a good time and Jennifer and I had some quiet time. Thanks again and thanks for listening, it helps.

and it doesn't matter the age of the children either. my kids were 31 and 27 when their dad walked out. he broke their hearts. and trust is no longer in their vocab where he is concerned. not to mention the grandkids. it's just a bad thing all the way around. here's to better days.
