Ok Where To Begin…..

Ok Lets see where to begin…..

The 10th of December I was having a good day with Kerry, I went back to his home and there was a message on his answering machine from my mother telling me to call immediately when I got the message. The first thing that came to mind was my Dad had fallen again. He has fallen 2 times here lately. But….that was not the case!
My middle daughter was in jail, her children were in a shelter. I was given the number to the officer at the jail to call, which I did, and I was to drive there after I got my grandsons meds from her apartment. That in itself was a chore getting a fax from the jail to the apartments giving me permission to go into her apartment. I finally was able to get in and grabbed a couple of trash bags of clothes for the kids and the medicine. I then went back to my place and grabbed a suitcase for myself as I had to be at the jail that night to deliver the meds to be taken to the shelter. Then at 8:00 a.m. the next morning I had to be at the jail to try to get the kids out of the shelter before they got put into the Dept. of Human Services system. The police officer talked to a friend in DHS and he assured her I was their Grandmother and Brandi identified me as her Mom so I was able to get the kids and bring them back to my house from their. Well I was to bring them back to my house anyways…. My oldest daughter bullied me and commendered the situation with her Dad (my ex) until she took the kids. This infuriated me but I was NOT going to fight in front of the kids about this. She told me that Brandi had said she wanted the kids to go to her house so they would have her kids to play with and a bigger home. So I let that happen….ughhhh what a mistake. She got Brandi to sign a power of attorney over the kids. My oldest grumped, complained and I felt treated the kids not right. I took the kids to my house the minute school was out for Christmas Break. They were bathed, loved, and fed at my home which I felt all they were getting at my oldests home was yelled at and fights with her children and treated unfair. Needless to say, while they were here at my home my ex decided he was driving down from Wyoming and taking the kids. I fussed and fought with my oldest but that did no good. She told me at one point on the phone when I told her she was NOT taking the kids…"FIne I will call my attorney and call the police and pickup the kids whether I liked it or not. My brother offered to get me an attorney and pay for it but my ex sleeps with an attorney this would have been tied up in court forever. SO my ex picked up the kids and started driving across Kansas for a 14 hour drive to Wyoming only to be stranded in a blizzard for 4 days in Kansas. They finally made it to his home on the first all in one piece at 4 a.m. in the morning. I was so thankful they made it safely. I talked with the kids yesterday and they seemed to be doing fine. I do hope they are happy and this is where Brandi wants them and I was just not lied to again by her. I wrote her a letter telling her how I felt and how hurt I was since I was the one taking care of all her business here. Also taking care of the kids since Krystal didn’t want to handle them. I haven’t got a letter back from her yet from the one I wrote. I am sending her another tomorrow with copies of the Christmas pics of the kids. Why she did this is beyond me. 15 days before Christmas she decides to be an idiot or alledgedly decides to be an idiot. Shake head at stupidity and the things some people do for MEN or for that matter what some men do for women. But, as she sits in jail she states she is reading a Bible and another Book I think is called something like A Divine Purpose or something. Maybe she will get out and be a better person all I can do is pray this is the case and she will be a better Mom.
Pray for her and the kids and me. I am so trying to understand all that is happening and worried about the kids.
Hugssssssss to all and hoping your New Year is a Blessed one full of joy

Iam sure most of those in gaol read the bible. Every cell has one. Something to read? There is plenty of time.to read the bible cover to cover Keeps them almost sane ? Maybe.Another direction sanity takes ?Yes. Prayers are better than talking to yourself Convert maybe ? Change their ways. Seldom Ive met many such prisoners when I was working at the hospital over the road from the gaol

It’s probably the Purpose Driven Life and hopefully what she is reading sinks in, works on her heart and her head and stays with her. That she allows Jesus to come in and help her with the changes she needs to make.

I feel sorry for you having to put up with all of that from your daughter. I hope things improve. I’d say that a large number of people in prisons and rehab centres turn to religion, but it doesn’t usually last once they leave. Thinking of you!
