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". 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. 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.

Too bad you couldn't tell the judge you wouldn't mind showing respect if you were treated with some. Wow I am so sorry you are going through all of this.

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.

[Lobodeb]

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.

[cyber-sibes]

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.

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.
