On June 1, 2009 the paternal grandparents of my son filed an emergency hearing to take my son away from me, stating that my other son was making him afraid to live with me. My oldest child the one who was basically stolen from me, his father committed suicide 2 years ago in May, I got permanent care, custody and control of the minor child.
I have been fighting the paternal grandparents for the last year they tried to get custody of my son by trying to prove me unfit, they lost, so they then go for grandparental visitation, which I don't see how they got because I was already giving them visitation, The District Court Judge ordered us to go to mediation, we had come to an agreement that they would get him every other weekend and one week in the summer, but that I would retain custody of my son. We also agreed that holidays would rotate. They are basically getting the visitation his father would have if he were alive, which has caused a major stress on the entire family.
Brandon, my son the eldest lied to a judge, lied in an affidavit saying that my other son Trent had threatened to "stab him in the heart." Earlier that day Brandon had pushed Trent to this point, he had called Trent a "psycho who deserved to be in jail." Trenton has mental problems, which have yet to be determined, they do not want to place a diagnosis and a possible wrong one on a child who is only 12 years old. Brandon is 15, and claims to be "afraid" Brandon is bigger, stronger, and could have hurt Trent, but Trent resorted to throwing a chair at the kitchen counter breaking the cupboard door, and saying that he was going to "kill himself" never that he would kill my son or my son's 18 year old cousin who was here with us at the time. The cousin who is 4x the size of my Son who was acting out.. claimed to be "afraid."
I had to call the police to come help me with my son because I could not get my son under control because Brandon had nearly pushed him to the brink of insanity, I suffer from a few illnesses Fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, possible MS and a few others which makes things difficult for me.
They are also claiming that I am a "pill popper" and that my illnesses are "fabricated." Oh and we cannot forget "exotic" Brandon's admission in his affidavit were all fabricated and so were his grandparents. I have had custody of Brandon this entire time, was given Brandon the night his father died by HHS. I feel what they are doing is dirty and grasping at straws to try and find a way to get my son away from me. The night Curt died his father told my son (and I heard this with my own ears) "he thought he was losing you too, so he gave up" This statement caused Brandon to blame him to be the reason that Curt committed suicide. His grandmother made the statement that "Brandon was going to have to replace Curt, that Brandon was her new Curt."
I took all the necessary steps to create a safe environment for Brandon to return to, he bold face lied on his affidavit and so did his grandparents, I have no idea what they promised Brandon to do this. The lawyer that the grandparents have failed to mention that I had been awarded custody, that the grandparents had agreed to me having custody of my son, and that my son would remain in my custody.. and that they were only striking out of spite, grasping at straws to get him away from me.. they even had my son call me to brag that I had lost custody of my son, because they were awarded guardianship under false pretenses. I was wondering what to do now, I cannot afford a lawyer due to the fact I cannot work due to my illnesses, and we only have my husband's income. I filed a motion to vacate pro se and now I am wondering what to do next, and if I can get an emergency hearing to gain my son back into my care. What else can I do to get my son back where he belongs? They are so unfit to care for him, and this is killing me it feels as if my heart has been ripped from my chest stomped on by an entire family and then told to wait until the court hearing in a few weeks. I am just so worried... HELP ME PLEASE!
