Looks as if Alexander flies to Az .We LOST.I think? Not as bad news as first thought!

[DrKym]

I doubt it according to her email she will be calling the FBI to report Alex kidnapped as his return date was today. (she can't make it stick ) The police to have us arrested for abuse by denying him his flight home today. The authorities to forcibly take him and fly him back. It goes on and on. I forwarded the email to Gary and I am waiting on him to call. Karen should be singing right about now so we lit a candle to help her prayers and ours fly heavenward.

I forgot the time difference!!! I thought Michigan was in the same time zone!!!

Oh well, I can re-light and re-pray (goes for portable time lapse machine and hits replay button at 10:00 EST.)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I said an extra special prayer for Alex and all of you at the time Karen's song was to be sung!

I can't imagine this having anything but a happy ending for all of you!!
(Ok, I refuse to believe it won't have a happy ending)
Can Grandma go out for ice cream with you all?

(((HUGS))) to all of you!!!

[Dorothy39]

The more the merrier!!! I plan on buying Schwan's Ice Cream, one of their special flavors is "Summer Dream"!!!! It's a smooth vanilla with orange sherbet swirled together!!!!

I"ll bring that, along with some crushed peanuts and I'll get out those fancy ice cream sundae servers that I packed away!!!!!!

I have to stay optimistic for my sanity.

If she is about the money perhaps you can make a deal for a certain amount paid out over time. I know it sounds like your buying the kid but weighting the out come wouldn't it be better? I'm still praying for the wisdom of the judge to make the best decsion.

Corinna - if I understand what has happened so far - and Dr G can correct me - is that Alex's mom was never awarded alimony, just child support.

And, given Alex's very poor health, losing hair and waaay underweight, it seemed clear that she was spending it on herself. That is why she is fighting for custody - so Alex can 'support' her.

Frankly, I think she has cost the Illinois family enough in air fare, lawyers and just plain pain. She owes THEM and her son - big time.

Like you, I hope the judge makes the wise decision and removes this leech from her son's life!

Someone like that...even if they were offered money...I have a feeling it would never be enough....

hugs

Ok Gary has called and he is way upbeat but won't give details. Sharon has had the police in Az call here, which we referred them to our lawyer and the officer was way pissed at her! Alex knows he is going to Az right now it is under the pretense of seeing Gramma and my grandson (his bestest bud) Gabriel. My mother in law said she will break it about court on Tues morn to him and my daughter is letting Gabe stay at the motel monday so that he has a bud on Tuesday. If anyone can shoot holes in this PLEASE DO ! so far we think it is a workable plan.
to Corrina:
She offered to "sell" him read up the thread a bit but wouldn't put custody of him on Paper.
To Catty my dear friend:
You are 100 % correct in the understanding of how this started, and I agree no amount of money will make her go away.

*bump* :d

[Corinna]

Sorry missed the earlier part.

[DrKym]

No Problem LOL the woman is a nut hun.

[Catty1]

Um - brain bit addled here - your daughter lives in AZ also? And Alex is staying at the motel so he will have a buddy, his good friend Gabriel...so your daughter is visiting Grandma and Alex at the motel where they will be staying? Along with Alex's dad?

Sorry, lost something in the translation....lol

I addled my brain by over-napping on the couch because of a big sucky tabby Mommy's boy who curled up and PURRED. Naughty Oscar!

[DrKym]

Yes Jesse (my oldest daughter 21) and Tiffany (20) both still live there with hubbies and kids! So Jess offered to bring Gabe over to the Motel so Alex has a bud and is Distracted (Gabriel is 4 he and alex have been buds since he was 18 months)
