This month has been insane!! I've made 2 trips to IL this month. After the first, we decided to move back after living in Ohio almost 20 yrs. My daughter wants to be around her family (as do I) plus she wants the baby to grow up with family around, in a small town environment.
Then my daughters' ex went psycho, he got physical with my daughter more than once and I THINK he got mad with the baby, there were no marks on her so I can't say for sure what happened, but babies don't cry tears like that unless they've been physically hurt - I only know that something did happen so we're leaving before he can take off with the baby or hurt my daughter or the baby again.
We've also found out some other things about his "extra curricular activities" - I won't go into details until we go to court for the permanent protective order, but none of it is good and he will NOT expose my daughter or grandbaby to his bullshit. Needless to say her and my grandbaby's safety are in jeopardy so last week I had to drop everything and get them back to IL where they couldn't be found. They're there with family safe & sound, I just got back last night. We have a temporary protective order, we're just waiting for the sheriff to serve it on him, then this weekend some of my family's gonna drive to Ohio to help me move. Then we go to court for the permanent order and I HOPE they come so I can air out all their dirty laundry in front of the judge. And they won't see my daughter or grandbaby because of the circumstances which will REALLY piss him off, but the court doesn't want them coming in and being jeopardized any further so I'm going.
One more 9 hr drive with our belongings and it'll be done. I soo can't wait. I hate being here by myself, wondering if that bastard is gonna come knocking when he sees I'm back & getting all these other things done before I leave.
We're gonna stay with my mom until I get us on our feet again. I love my family but I hope it won't take long because I have to have my own space with my own belongings. Regardless, it's a much better place, no more big city anything to deal with. My daughter is more relaxed there and even the baby is alot happier, she's eating better, sleeping much better at night, not fussy during the day or nervous. It's definitely best for all 3 of us.
Keep us in your thoughts that my family stays safe and I get back there this weekend in one piece & with no problems from them over the next few days. Hopefully it won't take long to get internet service hooked up out in the boonies LOL but I'll be back online before ya know it!
{{{Hugs to all my friends}}}
