I need prayers for me getting legal guardianship of my grandson with the least amount of hassle possible.
I've been raising him since birth for 9 years now. His mother abandoned him and was in no position to raise him anyways since she is mentally disabled and on a social program.
I've been paying everything out of pocket for the child but as he gets older and if he needs dental work done that is costly I can't get him on the benefit plan without this legal guardianship. That is the main reason I'm applying for it. If I was wealthy then I wouldn't care I would just pay for everything.
Problem is I have to serve papers to my daughter and most of the time I don't know where she is or have a number that works. I have this appointment this morning at 8:30 and I'm not feeling well at all. I have to force myself to go. I feel sick to my stomach and anxious about the whole thing.
They also have to notify the father and I have no idea who that is. I only met him twice and he is basically a street person. I don't know if my daughter even remembers his full name and knows where he is.
I feel this is going to be one big nightmare and I really don't want to go through this.
I had to contact my not so nice mom and try to get a phone number for her and when I phoned it was not in service. The last physical address I have she is no longer there according to my mom. So I had an old number and just to see I phoned that number and it was some guy and I asked if he knows where she is and a number. He claimed he didn't know and hasn't seen her in a long time. Well after I hung up the phone it didn't take more than 5 minutes and my daughter phoned me. So that guy lied. I have no idea why. That is what I am dealing with.
My daughter sold out to the devil a long time ago and like I said I really don't want to go through this. She is very unstable and moves from place to place and hangs around street people and does drugs and who knows what else. I feel a need to protect my grandson from all of this garbage since he has his own problems regarding his behavior that is more than likely caused by his mom's use of foreign substances while pregnant.
I just feel that going for legal guardianship is going to open a whole can of worms and I don't know if I can handle it.
I didn't get anywhere on the phone with my daughter. All she does is blame me for her crappy life. No thanks for raising her son for the last 9 years and paying for everything plus my time since I am playing the mother role to him and he needs to be supervised. Just blame. That is all I get. In fact she can't take care of him in reality and furthermore she abandoned him when she was staying with me after the birth. It was about 10 days after he was born and she took off.
She claims I didn't let her raise her son. Really? After this one she got pregnant with another child by another boyfriend and that child was taken away at the hospital. She would probably blame me for this one too if she could.
She's just too toxic to be around and will only traumatize the child so I'm trying my best to raise him to adulthood and hopefully he will fare better than her. He is very intelligent but just has a behavior/attitude problem. I'm hoping eventually he will either grow out of it or learn how to manage it better.
Please pray that I can get the legal guardianship with the least amount of hassle as possible and to be protected from whatever schemes my daughter and her street people/drug addict buddies might try to stir up.
