WAW left 10/29/06, moved in with OM/BIL Thanksgiving after he changed locks and kicked my sister out. Sister is temporarily living with our mom in retirement community. Sister filed for D just after she was kicked out. WAW filed 01/04/06 and I was served 01/25/06. Both D's are still living with me and want NOTHING to do with WAM (walk-away-mom). Nor do I - YUK!
STBXW and OM/STBXBIL are hell-bent on leaving a wake of destruction and broken R's and are perfectively fine with it. Even worse, they're thoroughly convinced through self-justification and self-rationalization (really self-deception) that what they're doing is RIGHT and everyone else WRONG! Sorry, but it's all absolutely SICK!
Current: Received letter on 02/9/06 from my L stating WAW's lawyer filed a motion to appoint a Guardian as Litem for the girls. This made D's even more angry and disgusted with WAM. I surmise it's a desperate attempt to remove or minimize my 'controlling, restrictive influence' over D's that's 'preventing' them from interacting with her. When in all actuality, it's her choices/decisions/actions that are further driving the girls away from her. Both D's are old enough to make up their own mind how to or not to interact with WAM. Obviously she's not thinking clearly of the consequential damage involved - short or long term - nor really cares. I know D's think their own mother chose OM/STBXBIL/Uncle over them. I can't imagine that feeling of abandonment. It's all very sad and I feel terrible for them because they're the real victims in all this.
Anyway, my lawyer filed an objection to the motion citing various reasons why the motion is frivolous and without merit. So we'll see what happens. No court dates yet.
I've committed this entire ugly mess into God's Hands because He's the ONLY one who can carry us through this. I place my sole and complete confidence, trust and faith in Him and His plan for us. To Him alone be the glory for Christ's sake.
HM, thank you for keeping me in your prayers! I read your sitch and will now keep you in mine. Stay in touch and let me/us know how/where you are in the process. Don
