My STBX has mental issues that she has not taken responsibility for & this has caused extreme stress for everyone but most of all our 5 year old daughter. She flipped out on December 19th & tried to take my daughter by force from my mother's house where she had spent the night. She lied & said she had a dental appt. for her @ 10am but really had an appt at victim's assistance @ our local counseling center. She had police at my mothers & made a serious cluster of everything. She kidnapped my daughter (by that I mean she kept her at her mom & dads house & threatened to call police if I stepped foot on their property). She held her there for four days until filing a civil protection order on me, I lost rights to see my daughter over Christmas & got kicked out of my house even though she moved out. Two weeks I lost with my daughter until my hearing which the judge denied my STBX's petition for a CPO. She still is doing everything she can to keep my daughter from spending the night with my mother....even though there are no written custody orders. Only person suffering through all of this is my daughter, because she & I have an extremely strong bond I am currently going through a divorce.

I am just now unwrapping birthday and Christmas gifts for the three grandchildren that moved to Ohio when bought by wealthy grandparents as I no longer have room for them in my small living quarters . I fight tears as I do this as each wrapped gift has a card identifying a special occasion I never got to see or participate in . These gifts will go to a charity but that does not lessen the pain of no contact . It actually makes it worse that it has had to come to this . I contacted the pastor of the church the third child was baptized in and asked for help with mediation . He did not want to do it himself so he contacted a professional mediator who seemed very committed - especially by Easter - a time of renewal .They were both wonderful ( even though my son and his wife had no record of attending church or any activity at the then new church since the baptism of the last child ) .But they were not successful . I live in Illinois ( where the kids were all born ) and am 72 and disabled .I was crushed when they left here but never imagined all the manipulations that would occur nor what they would lead to.Nor did I realize that the laws would vary so much from state to state - let alone the fact that I would even need to look up such information . I am a Catholic - A Eucharistic minister - a lector and I sing in summer when the choir is in recess . More importantly I know about respect and forgiveness although with this erring couple there is really nothing to be forgiven for .I worry about the absence of religion in the lives of the kids as the parents seem to use the church the way they use people and they only worship THE GREEN GOD ! Sorry for both of us . This is beyond cruel and a terrible example for the kids to have to see and incorrectly learn from . God help these parents when their kids grow up and turn their backs on them ! I am almost in the same boat that you are in ( but worse actually )and I know how exactly how painful this is .

She is married with three children and lives apporximately 3 miles from us. We were at one time a very large part of their lives. She has wealthy inlaws - SIL's father owns business in which he works, daughter does not work but receives a $300 paycheck. All vacations, automobiles, cell phones, grandchildren's privte schooling - list goes on and on. The problem all started when they (her inlaws) started sending Grandchildren to private School - all 3. They started kleaving us out of more & more. We didn't even get to see Grandchildren be Baptized. Then it got to the point we would only see them on Birthday's and Christmas. I expressed our feelings about this. Now we get the silent treatment. She will not let us see our Grandchildren, does not answer phones or emails. Then she sent a short note in the mail that she does not want any communication from us. I feel that she is very self centered and very cruel. She has been bought! What are chances of getting rights to see our granchildren. I love them too much to put them through a big ordeal.
