well here's my story its going to be a little long .. but it has to .. so you get the point. My daughter has three boys by three diffrent men, and was never married to either of the fathers, she is 29 . My grandsons are all mixed, my daughter does not like white boys ( ok no worries there to each their own ) She married a wonderful man .. he is a little slow but normal in every way . He would move the sun and earth for her, he worked 2 jobs and took on my two eldest grandsons as if they were his own .. my daughter treated him like dirt. She left her husband and met this low class gutto guy. She got pregnant. the Guy used drugs, kept a gyn in the house and abused my daughter while she was pregnant. here comes omo to the rescue many times moving her stuff out . This low life even dragged her threw the streets by her jacket while she was pregnant. So her and her boys 2 boys came to stay with us . I have a very small house but we made due.. this guy kept calling day/ nite untill my daughter wanted to give him another chance.. ok back she goes with all her things .. 2 weeks later I get a call she is scared of him .. he is useing drugs alot .. has a gun .. made he stay in the bathrrom untill she stopped crying and whould not give her ice for her head thet hit the tile... Once again back to get her .. the boys and her things .. This time she stood with us for over a year . I told her I only ask she help with the food .. she siad she was going on food stamps .. I was ok just as long as you help out , boys can eat and my husband were on a strict budget.. The phone calls started again .. morning.. evenings up to 4 am .. our house phones.. our cell s phones.. ( we kept all the records and messages for the police) thus we changed all our numbers. This guy drove by our home and shot my husbands car window out .. We went to court, he was put in jail for 3 months . thus grandson # 3 came along .. after a few months all out bills started going up way too high .. both my husband and I went to my daughter telling her she had to help.. meanwhile I told her to keep her food stamps for herself .. she cooks for her bpoys I cook for her brother and my husband. She refused to help out with the utility bills. She started seeing the babys father on a sly and then wnet back to him .. she came to get some of her things and left everything else.. my husband when I was at work sold a few things of hers and I flipped. I made him give her a check for the ampount he sold them for .. she never cashed that check. She has accused me of turning her into the food stamp people , I have no clue where she lives or her phone number, I have not seen my grandsons in 6 months . I have spoken to the older one a few times only becouse his father had him call me ... My daughter has reported us to the IRS beocuse we claimed her on out income tax, she lived with us for over a year .. she did not work .. thank god we had an accountent. She left her van in our yard I finally called my son in law and he came to pick it up ( it was under his name ) I still have the boys bikes under my house their toys in the attick .. her things she left behind . the last time I spoke to her she told me she did not want me to know where she lived, I was not to see the boys , that I told people that her "man " abouse her ..but she claims he did not . I was like helloooo why did you get a protive order then ??? I have gotten use to not seeing her or the boys ( I do miss them ) my husband and I had to re struture our morage due to all the extra $ we had to lay out for bills when they were her or we would have lost our house .. ..Our lives are back to normal .. our home is not a wreck any more due to her. But I do miss my grandsons and wish I could see them again .. Just needed to vent

This is so sad I hope your daughter sees the error of her ways soon and gets herself and her kids away from this guy before something worse happens.I have 5 kids and 2 grandkids and it worries me all the time when they are not around me where i know they are safe.

Wow you really need a hug. Is there anyway that you can sue for custody? I am not sure if you want to get the courts involved anymore but you need to get her boys away from the terrible environment that she has created for them.

I am not sure if I can or not .. I went to fill out papers before just for being able to visit them .. I needed the fathers permission which one of them would not respond to me .. the middle grandsons father .. the older one he would work with me no doubt. As far as the baby goes he just turned a year old .. he would not know who I am anymore and she is withhis father so that would be out of the question.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss of seeing your grandsons. But this girl needs a BIG dose of tough love. The kids in time will see you love them and when thyey are adults she cannot stop you from seeing them then. Let her take her lumps..be there for the boys if they need you. Some people just have to learn the hard way? She sounds like one of those folks!

Thanks Gargoyleo134 I agree tuff love she needs more then that . Iwhen she was with me I called ehr social worker and made an appointment for her to talk to someone for what she was going threw . I told my daughter, I don't think you sick .. but sometimes we all need someone to talk to outside of family or friends.. needless to say she never did .. I tried to set goals for her .. like get your teeth fixed, they are rotting out of her mouth that her front teeth broke in half.. Get a part time job, my boss was willing to work with me so I could have watched the boys, she did not want to loose her food stampsso no job came about. But she claimed I was trying to control her life. I never knew trying to help someone get on the right track was being controling.. what goes around comes around .. she has three boys who will remember what she did and will do the same to her someday .. I am, sure of it .. thank you for the support
