Quote From: rebeccasmom Well as our great state of Washington law the father has all the rights. So the children are living with his parents. I have been fighting for almost two years for them. My lawyer tells me I have no chance to get them until he is incarcerated. My grandson remembers everything. He is 5. My granddaughter is 4 remembers her mama only. My husband is a basket case as well. I did go to counseling thru crime victims and belong to their web site but because I missed 2 appointments they have dropped me. I feel my life is on hold because they keep postponing his trial, which means I have to wait longer for the children. I do have visitation. I feel the longer they are in his parents home the longer it will take me to get them. I could tell you horror stories about that which is documented with child protection services but it would be a book not a message.
Thank You Debra for your words of wisdom and I am also sorry for your loss.
God Bless

I don't understand how our judicial system works and thinks that it's ok?! If businesses ran the same way, there would be NONE! I get SO angry when I hear things like this! Makes absolutely NO sense to me!
Keep fighting for those Babies! They didn't ask for this and they deserve to have what happiness they can get out of life now that their Mom has been so tragically taken from them! I know you have probable heard this, kids are resilient, but I think only to a certain extent. Those Babies deserve the love and compassion that their Mommy would have given them. They deserve a chance! And by the sounds of it, they are not getting it living in their current conditions?
I don't understand how an organization set up to help people can turn them away after missing an appointment! How does that help? My heart goes out to you and your family! I don't know how I would handle a situation like this and no one does until they are "there." At least you get to see them, you may not beleive this, but they will remember those visits and they know who loves them. Children are not ignorant! I learned that with my daughter. Her dad and I were divorced when she was one. The stories I could tell you about him and his family. UHG! I am lucky to be alive myself. And yes, I too have dealt with CPS and found that system just as messed up as all the others. Boggles my mind how they can have a report of abuse and find NOTHING! Frustration beyond comprehension!
Do you have a support system of any kind? Friends? Family? There is so much negative going on here that we need to find something positive for you to focus on. To counter act some of that negative energy! I am concerned for your spirit and for your husbands! Keep posting here, if you feel it helps. We don't have all the answers, but sometimes it's not answers we are looking for, rather just an ear to hear us!
In my thoughts and prayers, Debra
