Thinking of you and your whole family, and sending prayers for everyone.
Kim you are in My Prayers Today.. Best of Luck.. I just hate that you are having so much trouble.. Hope all ends soon & that there is a pleasant road ahead.. (((( Huggss )))) God Bless
Kim, you and your family are all in my thoughts and prayers today.
After staying up most of the night, I called my husband at work at 2:00 a.m. We agreed that there was no reason for me to go to court this morning. Yep, I might have found out the "truth" but trust me, I have learned enough about my daughter in the past couple of years that I really don't need or want to know any more. :( If she had gotten probation, been there done that ... if she was sentenced, what good would it do to watch her be handcuffed and carted away? As it turns out, she is "free" ... I don't know the details, but I saw her in the courtroom for Jenna's custody hearing.
That is another whole story. At the last minute, I decided to show up for the temporary custody hearing for Denise (Chad's mom) to get custody of Jenna. All I knew was that it was at 1:00 p.m. I went to the clerk's office and asked which courtroom. They told me the floor and room number and that was all. When I got there, court was already in session, so I tried to quietly slip in on one of the back rows. Well, to my surprise, the judge told me that I was not allowed in there and to leave the courtroom. I got up and headed for the door ... the only thing I said as I went through the doorway was "she's my grandbaby!" The female judge sent her guard out after me. He stops me and says, "the judge wants to speak to you" and I replied "I'm sure she does". :rolleyes: I went back in and she told me that I was not allowed in a private hearing and she wanted "respect". I threw my hands up and said "I didn't know!" She said she understood and to be respectful and leave the courtroom. :mad: :( I have been humiliated and shamed by my daughter for the LAST time!!!!! :( :(
I truly appreciate all of the support, words of comfort and prayers from my PT friends, it truly means a lot to me. I'm very sorry for dragging you all through this fiasco for so long. Like I said, I am so ashamed and absolutely devastated right now. I won't trouble you all any more. :(
Kim

Kim,
Your humiliation and shame are only in your eyes. Your daughter is a very ungrateful being, and loving your grandchild, is not anything to be ashamed of.
I am proud of you for going , and also for making it clear, that Jenna has other people in her life that are concerned about her. I wish the judge to learn compassion and respect in the most expedient way imaginable.
Yes there are rules to a private hearing, but in this instance she could have left it be as you were leaving and simply carried on, to recall you back in for a tongue lashing shows her own fear of herself and her position.
Big Hugs,
Kym

You are right there are rules to a private hearing, BUT the general public shouldn't be expected to know that. There should have been a court officer outside of the courtroom to make sure only those involved in the litigation entered the courtroom. The fault was not yours, and the shame should not be bourne by you.Quote:

Please don't feel that you're trouble to us. If anything, feel free to vent more. If you can't do it anyplace else, you know you have us. Please feel free to say as little or as much as you'd like. You know we're here for you, either way.
I'm sorry the judge treated you that way. Totally uncalled for.
Exactly! Kim, that was not your fault so don't let it get you down.Quote:

I hope Amy Beth or the other parties involved will all least have the decency to let you know that outcome of Jenna's custody soon.
Exactly!!!Quote:

HUGS HUGS HUGS!!!!
If Chad's mom gets custody, I am sure you will get to see Jenna.
Do you even want to see Amy Beth?
HUGS
Dear Kim, you are NOT dragging us down in any way my dear. You came to your PT friends for support, advice, hugs and whatever else to help you get through this terrible situation. We may not all have the right words to say, but we sure can give prayers and {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}Quote:

You NEED to get your feelings out. You NEED to vent. You NEED the love and support from your friends.
After ALL that you and your hubby have done for Amy Beth, it still boggles my mind how she just walks all over you guys and doesn't seem to show any appreciation at all. I truely understand that she is your daughter and that you just cannot turn your back on her, but Kim, enough is enough. How much more heartache do you think you can handle. You've been helping her for years now and each time she stabs you in the back. It's time to put your foot down and mean what you say. Like, "I have been humiliated and shamed by my daughter for the LAST time" and "We are "only" paying her $450.00/month rent for the next two months and then the purse strings will be CUT!!!."
I know this is going to be very hard on you Kim, but it is starting to affect your health and remember this, you have a lot of people around you who DO care and LOVE you, so please, take time for yourself and take care.
