Tomorrow morning is THE court date for my daughter.

[DrKym]

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

Kim,
Your humiliation and shame are only in your eyes...

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.

Oh, Kim. I'm so sorry.

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.

I'm sorry the judge treated you that way. Totally uncalled for.

I agree, very unprofessional.

You will ALWAYS be Jenna's dear grandmother, no one can take that away from you. Don't lose hope, you never know what tomorrow might bring. Things will settle down after a little time, things don't always turn out as bleak as the seem. ((((hugs))))
Praying for you.

I'm sorry the judge treated you that way, but don't feel bad. I've never encounted a judge that didn't act that way. More prayers are on the way. I hope things get back to normal soon.

Yea...Judges have really big ego's when you are in "their" courtroom. I'm surprised their fat heads fit in the doorway.

I'm really sorry you are going through this. It sounds like you've done all that you can and it's time for your daughter to act like an adult. You can't keep running to her side everytime she messes up. I know as a Mom you want to -she's your baby and you don't want any harm to come to her. But there comes a time when you have to say "enough".

I'm sorry if I sound mean. But it just sounds like your daughter is using you and I can hear & feel your pain in your posts. I wish I could do or say something to make you feel better. No parent should have to go through what you are going through.

You sound like a very strong woman and a wonderful, caring Mom. I don't think I would have your patience & understanding in this situation.

I am sending you a virtual hug. Take care & good luck.

[Alysser]

I really don't know about the events you speak of, but I think I understand enough. I'm so sorry you have to go through this, and don't think you need to stop bothering us, when you aren't even bothering us. We want to hear from you, you are such a kind-hearted person and you don't deserve what's happening in your life. (((hugs))) I hope everything works out for the best.

Exactly! Kim, that was not your fault so don't let it get you down.

I'd say you not going to Amy Beth's trial was a good thing. As for talking about it here, if it helps keep doing it. Don't keep it all bottle up inside because it won't do you any good and you are getting a lot of good support here.

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!!!
Wow... what a WITCH!!!!

Many {hugs} to you!

[Catty1]

Post here as much as you want to - my goodness!!!!!


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

[DrKym]

Exactly!!!
Wow... what a WITCH!!!!

Many {hugs} to you!

Ahem, we witches aren't all bad!

Some of us are rather pleasant

[DrKym]

Kim,

I am thinking of you, and praying for you. If you haven't already read it, a book I reccomend to many of my clients is 'When Bad things happen to good people". Although I do not endorse all of the book, there is some very good information in it. It may bring some peace and clarification, many hugs.

I could be wrong, but I interpreted the posting to mean:

Exactly!!! (Meaning, I agree with everything you said)
Wow... what a WITCH!!!!! (meaning the judge who felt the need to make a bad situation worse)

[Catty1]

I think Kym's comment leads to the idea that since many witches are quite pleasant, it's insulting to witches to call the JUDGE a witch!

Did I get that right, Kym?
