Hi everybody,<BR>Yesterday, my h called the children and Youth caseworker to talk about the fact that ow is living with her mother and oc, and has effectively become the custodial parent again. The caseworker said that she is going to be making surprise calls and visits there because she, too, is concerned about the situation. <P>She also wanted to know how our visits were going. H said that oc was really warming up to us, especially when during the time that ow wasn't there. caseworker said that she is going to call ow and tell her that she is NO LONGER allowed to be present during visits AT ALL. Says that visits are for us and oc, NOT ow, and that from now on, ow has to leave while we are there.<P>PLUS, she is going to try and get us a visit this Sunday, so that we can spend time with oc on father's day. And she is going to try to make it an UNSUPERVISED visit, so that we can take oc on our own for a while! She's not sure if she can do it, but she's going to try and let us know today.<P>NO MORE DEALING WITH OW AT VISITS! <BR>-cd

That's outstanding!! You go girl!!<P>I'm really happy for you CD. Isn't it amazing how things just start falling into place? OW is going to be spitting nails, but who cares? You and H have worked hard and gone through hell to get this far. It's about time you started reaping the rewards after so many struggles.

CD,<P>I am so very happy for you!!! This is yet another mark against OW, and points for you and H! I will pray that you do get to see Darling this Sunday, and that OW has to stay away!<P>Congradulations!!<P>Love,<P>Tigger

cd that's terrific news. All by yourselves huh? Isn't that gonna be sweet?<P>I still do not know where we are headed w/visitation.<P>I'll let you know!<P>Love<BR>Debi<P>------------------<BR>Imagine....

c.d.,<BR> That would be so much better good for you guys. When do you think you will know? Any news yet on ow finding out that the wallets legs got cut off with love flowerseed

Hey CD, I have been away from posting for quite awhile. I have been lurking and reading, I just have had no energy to type. I have been following your visitation posts and just wanted to let you know how happy I am for you. I remember not that long ago how we were still in the supervised stage of visits and how I could not want for them to end. Our oc has been visiting unsupervised with us since the first week in May. So it has been just a little over a month. Things are going pretty good. He really is a sweet boy and I think he has taken a liking to me. I really admire the way you have handled the ow. I have no contact with ours and I think it is just great how you have been able to put her in her place and take charge of the situation. I would love to do that. I have never spoken a word to our ow and I always liked it that way. However, lately there have been a few things that the oc has said which have made me want to contact her more and more. Just looking for the right way and time to do it.Congrats again on how great everything is going. Peace,Gabi1116

Gabi,<BR> What kinds of things has she been telling the little one? If you dont mind if you dont want to say I understand. That is something that has always bothered me as to wondering what kinds of things are being put into these poor kids heads. with love flowerseed

Dear cd,<P>Things are finally working out in your favor!<BR>So glad to hear that you are getting through this<BR>mess. <BR>I am happy that you are able to do it, with the<BR>support of your H. It is nice to know that eventually<BR>the ow loses her "power" over you. <BR>Good luck on Father's Day! Take care, fluke
