[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 751500, member: 11235"] People who have never been through this have a lot of opinions. Most of them could not handle our situations with half the grace and dignity we have been able to muster. I'm a bit fiery, so let me tell you what I did in this situation. About 6 months after my daughter had my granddaughter the baby's father met her for visitation and when my daughter went to the restroom he ran off with the baby. You can imagine how awful this was. He was abusive and a horrible person anyway, then he did this. He happened to do it at my place of work because I work at our public library. Obviously I left work to help my daughter, and we got the baby back soon after, but it was terrible and led to her father being allowed only supervised visitation. Shortly after this happened I had my granddaughter at a staff picnic. I was standing with about 6 other staff members and some of their partners holding the baby when a woman who worked at a branch (who wasn't my favorite person anyway) said, "And what about this little cutie? Does she see her daddy?" I was immediately pissed because I knew she had heard something, but probably not the whole story. So I thought, OK you want to know? Here it comes, and I recounted EVERYTHING prior to, during and after he took the baby, including the judge ordering supervised visits, etc. :censored2:- ask me a question, you will get the answer. She was stunned into silence and I felt fantastic. Bottom line- don't engage with those people, or tell them so much you freak them out. Peace to you. [/QUOTE]
