[QUOTE="ChickPea, post: 752256, member: 24089"] Copa, yes, life has been crazier than normal. Thank you for asking. The last few weeks of spiraling has been exhausting. And I'm no spring chicken running after a very mobile baby! :boring: Yes, met with attorney. No real new news, but glad we did. He says it's always a gamble, really, but courts are starting to side with grandparents more, not always siding with bio-parents (in light of the heroin epidemic). He said the best thing we were doing was what we were doing and doing it for as long as we can. The longer the better (both for grandbaby, and for custody purposes). So he reiterated much of what I already knew. He did say that, if we wanted to, we could call CPS, and that would likely start a battle (rather than wait to see if things got better with her or if the father pushed paternity). He said it can get ugly and it doesn't always end well. We do have rights since we are legal guardians (he was [I]very[/I] happy we already had that intact), and it is completely legal to have him here. So it's comforting and not comforting, I guess. [B]UPDATE: They let her out of the psychiatric unit. [/B]They changed her medications and referred her to outpatient. She seems OK with that. I'm trying to trust it's all on the up and up, but it's hard when her MO is dishonesty. She wants to drink (less) she said. She also said the psychiatrist told her that she [I]could stay for 3-5 days but the best thing for her would to be out of there, around family and with her child[/I] - which makes me wonder what on EARTH she told him to lead him to believe any of that was a good idea! She also remarked on how "crazy" everyone was there. Hmm. Hopefully she stays out of the bars for a bit. And hopefully she can get in to some of those services quickly. I'd really not like to see her for a good 48-72 hours. My entire day today was wrapped up in her chaos. :poop: [/QUOTE]
