[QUOTE="PennyFromTheBlock, post: 717495, member: 18271"] Thank you all for your kind words of support. I'm 12 days in from not seeing my sweet grandbaby- and the further from the 'event' the more manageable it has become. I can't say 'easy' because it isn't, and I do have my moments- I've already cried this morning because I imagine weekends are the worst- at least during the week he is at daycare all day. I assume that her sister will be returning to Ohio, so who knows who will be watching the baby at night now. I cannot worry myself sick over this. I cannot. Susiestar- make no mistake, I screenshot texts, document everything. I've printed off everything I could find about kinship caregivers in the CPS handbook and have information for home study etc- in the event he is removed. Gparents, in Texas, unfortunately only have rights in about 5 instances: [LIST] [*]The parents divorced; [*]The parent abused or neglected the child; [*]The parent has been incarcerated, found incompetent, or died; [*]A court-order terminated the parent-child relationship; or [*]The child has lived with the grandparent for at least six months. [/LIST] I have the name of an atty that I'll be calling this week- to see if I can pursue based on the second bullet. My son creates such disarray everywhere. This is insane. I'm not going to allow myself to go crazy because of him. I feel as though 'this' whole incident is what will ultimately break us. My daughter is DONE with her brother. That makes me so sad. I have a brother, as I've said, that is very much like my son- but I have another 'normal' brother. My daughter has no one else (me, but y'all know what I mean).....But no matter what happens - the way I interact and deal with my son is never ever going to be the same. It's time for self-preservation. I feel bi-polar too- because one day I'm all defiant and angry and over it and the next I'm sad and melancholy. Regretful. I have to say to myself almost everyday "he is an adult and he makes his own decisions= and so the consequences are HIS" [/QUOTE]
