I have decided that this month I want to name one thing every day that I am thankful for. I have missed the last few days because I went through my own personal hell which I will tell you about so you can understand why I am thankful.
A year ago I allowed my son to go live with his father for personal reasons that is best not told on a blog. A few weeks ago, my son expressed to me that he wanted to go home. I explained to him that I would LOVE for him to come home, but that things weren't going to change. He was still going to have the same rules, and the same chores. I told him to think about it for the week and let me know the following weekend. The following weekend he came, and stated that he did indeed want to come home. I told him that over the course of the next week I would have to talk to my attorney and see how we needed to go about doing this. I spoke to my atty who told me to talk to his father about it. I called my son on Thursday let him know all the possibilities and he said it's still what he wanted. That weekend was not my weekend to have him, so I told him I would call him on Sunday and we would talk to his dad then. So I did, I called Sunday, spoke to my son and asked him 5 times if he was sure this is what he wanted. He said it was. So I talked to his dad, he got upset and said that I couldn't see him again until we had our final hearing and hung up on me. I called my atty Monday morning, and Tuesday afternoon she had the judge sign papers giving me immediate custody. I went w/ a police escort to his fathers house, but he refused to hand him over and the police said that they couldn't make him since the papers didn't specify he was to be forcibly removed. Wednesday the judge resigned papers stating he was to be forcibly removed. So on Wednesday I finally got him! He is so happy to be home again. His father had the right to request a hearing w/ in 72 hours so we do go back to court tomorrow to see if he can have him back. My hope is that the judge will say no, since he was in contempt of court the first time he refused to give him to me. And my son WANTS to be at home with me. So y'all say your prayers and keep your fingers crossed.
November 1st: I am thankful for my family and friends. They are so loving and generous! I wouldn't have made it this far in the world with out them.
November 2nd: I am thankful for the judge who signed my immediate custody orders.
November 3rd: I am thankful for my husband who has been my strength through all this. I would've completely crumbled on Tuesday if he hadn't of been there with me.
November 4th: I am thankful that I finally have my son back home with me where he and I both want him to be!

I'm so happy for you. You are always in my prayers. Hoping court tomorrow goes well. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI hope everything works out well for you! If your son says he wants to be with you, then his dad should honor that request and do what it takes to work WITH you so his son is happy.
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed that you warned your son the rules would be the same. Way to stick to your guns. I hope everything works out.
ReplyDeleteI hope he and you both get what u deserve:) nothing better than a mothers love! enjoy
ReplyDeleteMy goodness! That does sound like a personal hell to me. I hope all goes well, keep us updated and I will keep my fingers crossed for you, and I will keep you in my prayers. Good luck girl, and hit him where it hurts!
ReplyDeleteDear Melissa, I will keep a prayer for you and your son. Divorce brought out the worst in people..I still have an X to deal with for the rest of my life.
