False Abuse Allegations and Blackmail
I haven't written on here b/c we are going to court in the summer for full custody of the kids After the courts handed them back to BM, we decided to just keep to ourselves about it. Well BM just can't stop herself from stirring the pot. She has to check in with CPS once a week. DH and I came back to our home state in March. BM took the girls to the CPS worker later that week and got them to say that DH abused them. Apparently, he even went so far as to tackle SD11. Also, she is claiming we left them alone in the house for hours on end. The girls lied and backed this story up. Now, DCFS is encouraging BM to try and get a restraining order to keep DH away from the kids.
BM decides this is a golden opportunity. She wants to move the SDs to Texas. She can't do that with a pending custody case so DH gets a call from her last night. She tells him about the abuse allegations and threatens to go to the police. But if he lets her move to Texas, "this will all go away. It can be a fresh start for us all." Gag me. I am so angry. I don't even want the SDs here anymore. I am trying to stop being angry b/c I know she put them up to it, but it is still hard. We have never been mean to his kids. And, it is hurtful that they would say it. My DH is heartbroken. We are still going to keep fighting. We told her to take her blackmail and shove it. But, I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried.

"She can't do that with a pending custody case so DH." Are you sure about that? Our BM left the state in the middle of a Custody case. The Judge just thru it out, saying that he had no jurisdiction over her anymore. We had to go to the new home state and start over with new lawyers. It cost us twice as much. In the end, we got the custody we were seeking but after all the PAS and drama and SD being completely resistant to visiting and having a melt-down every time she came we regretted spending all that money for nothing.

TRUE. Entirely... which is why I have given up. There's no point in trying to win, and the "prize" SUCKS.
That's not necessarily true
That's not necessarily true either, ask Former. Her BM disappeared and it didn't help. When BM's disappears or die, they become immortalized in the minds of the kids as saints or martyrs. You can't save these kids. They are doomed.

Yes, and suffer the wrath of the mini BM's she is raising. Move on, have fun with the rest of your life. Consider yourself lucky.

It's fine to make an appearance to show DH support and for DH to his kids. I just wouldn't invest money in legal fees anymore, or energy trying to hook them. I guess I'm saying you would be better off not chasing them anymore. Go ahead and show support, in fact holiday cards, birthday cards and even a phone call from DH just to check in every once and awhile is fine (if they even take his calls). But that's it since they are playing these kinds of games with you guys. Eventually they will need him for something. Usually money, or to help him take sides against BM, which usually happens. They may even say they want to live with DH at some point, but don't be fooled. It's usually just to stir the pot so they get BM to do what they want. They have been been trained by BM after all.
^^^ Tog is right, she knows
^^^ Tog is right, she knows what's she's talking about. All that energy spent on convincing everyone of the truth is in vain. It comes down to he said she said. And the parent with custody will remain in custody unless they land in jail or something. As for the kids, they are doomed.
I know it sounds mean, but
I know it sounds mean, but these kids are not worth it. Let them leave with their mother. Crazy is passed through the umbilical cord and it explodes toxicity into your home. Y'all dodged a bullet. Drop the fight and enjoy your life. So sorry you have to deal with this. Mothers that do what this BM did are SICK ABUSERS.
^^^This. I agree it sounds
^^^This. I agree it sounds mean, but it's true. Let it go. Let them go. The kids don't even want you to be fighting for them. They will resent you if they are taken away from the golden utters and everyone will be miserable and no one wins.
