[QUOTE="Libby, post: 455636, member: 12648"] Thanks DDD and Elizabrary. I'm so thankful to have a safe place to land when things got bad again, and at least this time I knew you guys were here waiting for me. It's good to feel validated and to have experienced ears to hear my weary voice. While the names on the board may have changed some over the years, it appears there are still plenty of loving arms to offer hugs as needed. As always, you guys are right on target and I still believe that no one can understand better than someone who's walked in our shoes. Durable Power of Attorney sounds like what I have in mind, at least for a start. As for custody or legal guardianship, I'm not sure what all is involved or what, if anything, the father might try to do to prevent it. I have been especially concerned about "what if" we have a medical emergency. And, yes, we were so afraid when she sent the baby off with her dad that we might never see her again or that she would be mistreated. We didn't have a clue it was coming and it happened on the very day I planned to tell her that the baby could live with me if she wanted. Violet also likes to "show off her child" in order to make positive impressions on others. She thrives on controlling others and giving up guardianship/custody would cause her to lose the upper hand. She would definitely have to see it as being to her advantage. There's so much more I need to get off my chest but now is not the time. You've helped bunches just by hanging out and waiting all these years for me to come back (yeah, right). Just got a call from Violet, she's on a plane flying 1000 miles to meet her girlfriend. Then they're off on a 200 mile road trip to a concert having the time of their lives. Forgive me for feeling resentful toward her, I just see how much Hunnybird needs and wants her mama and it hurts so bad. Oh well, off to put out another fire. Thanks for the love! [/QUOTE]
