LFlorida--thanks for offering
I am interested in any details regarding the charges filed against her for interference in child custody.
Thanks
This article just tugged at my heart. http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/local/news-article.aspx?storyid=148710&catid=3
snip~Annette Sykes, Haleigh's great-grandmother, said her family is having a hard time this Thanksgiving.
"It's really hard to give thanks when part of your heart and family is not here and you don't know where they are," Sykes said as a tear rolled down her cheek.
Sykes said her family doesn't feel much like decorating for the holidays, but it was important to do it for Haleigh's younger brother.
"If it weren't for Junior, we probably wouldn't," Sykes explained, "but he has to have some kind of normal life." ~ end snip
I wish I could tell her that it's a mad world we are living in these days and being "normal" is a thing of the past. All any of us can do, is do the best we can do.
... and then his dad spent Thanksgiving with friends. I wonder if that's the norm for Jr.
Is this true?
It seems the "norm" is to leave Jr. with drugging, boozing, promiscuous, hard-partying adolescents, so being with GGM is a great step-up! I wonder if RC thinks Jr's lifelong memories of his first Thanksgiving without Haleigh with dad being AWOL will be forgivable. It would be lovely to hope that RC might grow up, be less self-involved, and more attentive to his son by Christmas, but that's probably just a little boy's hopeless dream. And the cycle repeats...
The norm? IMO, if this was "the norm" DCF would have taken him when RC was investigated. And I don't think RC is "self involved" if he was he wouldn't have been able to raise and support 2 children w/ no help from the mother, imo. But I digress, this is GGM's thread not Ron's.Is this true?
