Hey Everyone, I didnt realize I was painting such a pretty picture about Mom's visit to husband after 2 months apart....Throughout the visit Mom kept breaking out into fits of anger because she wasnt being allowed to visit with husband in private. SF sibs insisted on being present during visit and she kept insisting they leave. The simple act of allowing her privacy would have gone a long way and averted this outcome. I just cant believe my mom would kidnap her husband from the ALF or at the very least try to talk him into leaving with her. (Niether of which she did). It so far from the truth. There were good points in the visit but it eventually went downhill. Mom left angry. I focused on the positive points. When she tones her temper down, the next one will go much better. Then maybe the chapparones wont be necessary.... Godspeed All...........
I don't think it is unreasonable to request that they have some privacy to visit. The SF sibs can stand outside the door if that makes them feel better. At least there was a visit, though, and you know where he is. That is moving in a positive direction. Keep trying. Things may get easier as they learn to trust more.
Your step-fathers kids don't sound too great. Hopefully, in time, they will let her visit with him privately. If not, perhaps you could contact an attorney without letting the kids know to see if she would be likely to be granted more rights. The important thing right now is that at least they are letting your Mom see her husband.

Yeah dj, Its good to be back to this forum...I know ya'll understand what Im going through...Got tired of being alone.... We retained an attorney, sad that it became necessary. Im confident things will get better. In spite of insuing AD, Mom has a better grip on the situation now. She will rise above it, Im sure.....I hope. I remain optimistic and hopeful. Godspeed... Rayman
I have no words of wisdom or advice. Just sending positive thoughts your way, especially for your mom. I'm afraid if I write what I really think about the SF's kids, I might get kicked off the boards.
