i believe grandparents have no rights, they should be included as long as the paretns want them included, its not thier kid so they should stay out of it

I think you need to give us more detail to give you our opinion.

I would go with your daughter. Just because your mother has visitation shouldnt mean you cant be there. Unless there is something specific about it, in paperwork, you can be there. If she says no- I'd sit outside her door (on the basis she wont let you), so she saw I was serious. I would also bring it up next time you meet with your lawyer/ judge, whatever. Also, when you bring that up - try suggesting a "neutral" zone. Not her house, not yours. Maybe the park or something. This way it doesn't looks like you're keeping the child away from your mother, but you dont like what goes on when you're not around.

I believe I get the picture, and it isn't a pretty one. Correct me if I am wrong but you and your mother have not, and don't get along. I noticed the verb "changed", so i take it that she has her notions on child-rearing, and you have yours'. That said.
If there is such a drastic change in your child when she comes back from your mother's the you suspect or should suspect that she is down-talking you and the bf, and it would most probably be an ongoing brainwash.
You do not have to put up with such nonsense. First, I would take the child to your local health dept., and find a public funded mental health psychiatric center that would evaluate the child to find out what is being hidden. File an emergency order for relief in the court stating your true and honest belief that the child could be harmed while in her care, and suspend contempt of court charges pending an evaluation.
Next, armed with the results, lodge a complaint to terminate the visitation rights, except upon your terms only. This would mean supervised at your home. You are the parent. You are the adult. Now, act like one. Not being mean, but stop being so afraid of your mother. The Good Lord spake to honor thy father and thy mother, but he never spake that you had to like their ways.

we tried to do appeal but our lawyer did not tell us how much he needed up front plus we were trying to get court to approve it to be paid by them cause we were low on money and our lawyer quit fighting for us when he found out we had no money left

One last comment, understand what an appeal is. You can lodge this with the court once more and if they refuse you again, then appeal out of that court and you will face a new venue. Use the documents and pictures, and anything else you can find that would support your position.
Just because an influential fool can subvert the local court process, does not mean tehy can subvert the higher process in Circuit or Supreme Courts.
Good nigh, and Good Luck
