[QUOTE="!overwhelmed!, post: 648981, member: 18486"] Thanks Susiestar. I will definitely look into that app. I only wish I had it when my daughter was still here! All the screaming & cursing (while holding the baby & her crying) would have been nice to have on audio tape...I have her cell phone with all of the emails, texts & voicemails etc. A font of information to be sure, I am using it to help me build a log. Between my cell phone & hers I can at least go back to late August. Not a long time, but it shows a pattern. Baths maybe once a week if the poor baby was lucky. Blaming our whole family for absolutely everything that was happening to her. There are some lovely texts about hanging my husband from the back deck & driving nails "slowly" into her sister's head, from the boyfriend! All the while wishing, hoping & praying to get their own place...but not willing to work for it! No in fact there are texts about lying to the housecleaning employer they were both trying to work for, lying to me to watch the baby, & going out to "ask people for money" so they could be together all day! So much drug & alcohol use documented, so much profanity - which I realize is not a crime - so much fraud on the government's dime! My kid knew nothing of the system...this is all his influence! But she has gone willingly! They are in LOVE!! This baby doesn't stand a chance with these two idiots calling the shots. This is so much work and I have no idea if any judge will even look at it or immediately dismiss it out of hand! I have resigned myself to the fact that this is next to impossible but I MUST try. If for no other reason, than when my granddaughter comes to me when she turns 18, I can show her that I tried everything! This is so strange to think your own child hates you! After having such an awesome relationship their entire lives...one person can step in & it literally all goes to hell! The court was NOT open on Friday, so now I will go in first thing on Tuesday morning & file restraining orders & hopefully the emergency & permanent guardianship paperwork at the same time.
