I read your story...

HEY PUPTENT

 

I am still around if you want to chat. I have been extremely stressed had to change lawyers. As my lawyer was scaring me not getting phone calls back and wanting me to take a plea bargain. I decided to get someone with more experience and went through my work too. Anyhow I hope I got a good one this time around. Someone that will at least return my phone calls. That is what I am hoping and stressing about. Anyhow this woman has now moved and so my husband has no contact what so ever. Shouldn't this be against the law or something. Oh I can't wait to have the court stuff over because than will get a lawyer to take care of the custody stuff. I'm not saying we want custody but, my husband should have rights to see his daughter. She just turned 13 years old and the presents we sent was sent back to Old Navy where we got them. And he hasn't heard from her or anything. I know she secretly called her Dad a few weeks ago. So maybe she is waiting for Mom to go to the store or something again. Well I had better go its bedtime...love carlie

So the gist of your story is you and your step-daughter had words -- abusive ones back and forth -- but you both made up.  Wasn't right but it ended up with forgiveness or so you thought.

 

And then the Bio-Mom got wind of it and she and another relative beat you up?

 

Is the right?  And this isn't the first time it happened?

 

Wow what a terribly dysfunctional family you married into.

 

Since you went to the hospital, you have pictures and witnesses to the outcome of the physical abuse, right?

 

And they were arrested for assault and battery?  Now you are waiting for court?

 

I am flabbergasted by the audacity of your step-daughter's mother.  I feel so sorry not only for you for having to deal with someone so out of control, but I even feel MORE sorry for your step-daughter who has gotten caught in the middle.

 

So sad...

 

I'm glad you got another lawyer, and I think any kind of plea-bargain for a SECOND round of battery is insane.

 

You hang in there.  Q
