Florence,
So far, I have lost two posts to you.
Let me get the main points out before I lose it again.
You keep doing what is right for that baby.
To me, that means, you circle your wagons.
Explain to your attorney that the ex in-laws have been playing all along.
Your ex is nowhere near recovery. He has no sense of it, cannot even smell it from where he is.
To me, recovery is about responsibility.
How could you possibly control someone who is responsible, mature and sober?
He went to rehab like a con goes to prison, too learn how to play his game better.
Calling you controlling? He wrote the book.
His parents switching sides is not a surprise, but good god it is disappointing.
We are talking about the welfare and health of a baby.
A BABY! See, now that I have a granddaughter, I could not put my son above her.
My son is an addict. His gf is an addict subsidized by the state with her methadone.
Both of them fall way down the scale on MY list of priorities when it comes to that baby.
You are a strong woman Florence. And a mother.
They have no idea what they are dealing with now.
Let them think you can be swayed with their foolishness while you do what is necessary to keep your baby safe.
More power to you!
