Title: Big Thank You
Post by mawmaw on Nov 12^th, 2005, 9:21am

Just want to thank everyone for their prayers and vibes. The kids are no longer with their parents. Right now they are staying with a wonderful foster family. My daughter and son-in-law made some serious threats against me in court,so the judge thought that it would be best for the kids to go somewhere safe for a few days. They will be coming to live with my husband and myself starting next Friday.I met the foster family after court and the kids couldn't be in better hands right now. While they are with them they will be getting evaluated for the services that they will need.
Testifying in court was very difficult,but since the parents showed up almost 20 minutes late for court,the judge had already made up his mind. It still stupifies me that the parents are still refusing help,knowing that that is the only way they will ever get the children back. Ignorant and arrogant to the end,was how they acted in court. All I could do was cry,seeing how low my baby girl has fallen. Of course they don' t think they have a problem.
Thank you all again for your prayers and vibes.

Wonderful! I'm glad that you and the grandkids will finally get to be a family permanently. I just hope that the parents wake up one day and realize what they threw away.

Cindy, I'm so glad the kids are going to be safe and taken care of now.
Remember that your daughter's soul is lost to drugs right now, that isn't the little girl you raised. Once she comes off the drugs, after a while, the real "her" will be back. And she'll have a lot of remorse.
The children will likely test you here and there. They've been through so much in their young lives. Be patient, stand firm, and give them all the love you are capable of giving. Take advantage of any services they need, especially counseling. You all will need it.
I plan to continue sending prayers for all of you (the parent's, too... they need them) and lots of positive energy to you and PawPaw...
You've done the right thing, never let anyone tell you otherwise. You can contact me anytime you need to, OK? From one grandma raising her grandkids to another... you can do this girl. It'll be hard, but also very gratifying.

much love and support, nani

Cindy I'm so glad to hear that the kids will be safe and back in a loving environment.

Like Nani said, this is where you'll have to battle with the scars left from this, so stay strong.

I truely hope your daughter will realize, now that her kids are gone, what she has lost and start to fight her own battle against this addiction.

Wishing you lots of strength and courage and vibes to you and the whole family. You have won the first battle.

Cindy so glad to here the kids are safe.stay safe I know they don't always work but get a restraining order and go talk to the cops.Let them know you're dealing with Meth addicts so they know what you all are dealing with.Send all paperwork to the school let all the staff and busdrivers know ONLY YOU and YOUR HUSBAND (or whomever else ) are the only ones Legally allowed to pick up the kids.most states the schools need the court order.make sure the kids know 911 your address and names also have a special code word set up in case something goes wrong.I don't want to scare you just have all your safe guards in place.God bless you all give those boys the best childhood ever.Please remember you did not cause your daughters problems the drugs did.I pray she finds the love of her family to someday be stronger then the grips of the drugs.

hugs minnie

Once there party ends they will possibly sit back and RETHINK what they have done and how they have been doing itl.......there lost rite now and that shit makes ya feel on top of the world. But when the drugs get harder to get or they get busted or they end up with health issues to MAKE them quit (maybe a heart attack or two) they will have to relive what they've done and keep it with them forever. But for sum they never see the light. There livein in the fast lane.......it's a different world. The dam shit makes ya feel too dam good to quit......it won't be easy and it may not happen soon. Plus ya can't help but worry bout the kids in the furture if they come from parents with addictive natures. The grand kids are LUCKY to have a way out Pam
