Been an interesting day so far
Gee, my morning started out bad. Hubby called me ten times between 2 am and 3 am last night. I called him when I woke up, and he said that he plans to get an apartment and then to take the girls. I panicked.
I've had time to think it out, since then. Then girls definitely both want to stay here. They want to go back to public school, though, so we are doing that. I told them to give me 30 days, and I will have them re enrolled.
Hubby says he is sleeping in his car. Okay. I tried to get him a place to stay. If he chooses to stay in his car, that is what he chooses.
Another really bad thing happened last night. I had to have my cat Mamma Grey put down. I told my girls that I had to re home her, and I am glad I did, because that happened right before all the other drama.
The good news is, I haven't had time to hurt over that. She is in a better place, and I am just accepting that.
I cancelled my doctor's appointment today. The girls aren't feeling very secure right now, so I didn't want to leave them.

Are they ur skids? Have u
Are they ur skids?
Have u adopted them? Where is their bm?
Idk if legally u can stop hI'm from taking them or enroll them in school. Right?
QueenBeau, they are my
QueenBeau, they are my step-kids. We plan adoption, but that will take money we don't have right now.
No idea where BM is. She is in the largest city close to us, but I don't know if she is living with friends, in the battered women's shelter, in drug rehab or in jail.
Legally, Hubby and I share custody. I know that's not done a lot, but when Hubby and I went to get custody, I paid, and he agreed that my name would be on all the paperwork, to. I'm supposed to have the same legal rights as him, even though I don't share a biological connection with the girls.
I wonder about something like
I wonder about something like that too. Its so out of the blue, it could be drugs or even a brain tumor.
Mellissa, if needed get child
Mellissa, if needed get child protective services in on the abusing he's been doing. It's not ok to throw 12yr olds across a table and spank in that manner. You've had to stand in the middle to stop him from getting to the girls...all this is beyond normal acceptable parent discipline. It's not safe for him to take the girls.
Do call your local church and see which churches are sponsoring a food pantry. Even though they have set days and hours on a routine basis, many times they will open and help a family on an emergency basis. You and the girls need to get some food in the cupboards and besides cooking a nice meal in the kitchen together will help the girls feel things will be ok.
Hugs to you.

twoviewpoints, I am hoping
twoviewpoints, I am hoping that we don't have to call CPS. I am hoping that I don't have to file a restraining order, to. However, I will do whatever I need to do.
Thankfully, my cupboards are full right now. Next week, that may not be the case. The girls want their friend to stay, and that means I have four mouths to feed, but we will get through it.
Thank you for all the good advice!
Thank you! <3
Thank you! <3
Can you file a restraining
Can you file a restraining order against him? What about getting some kind of emergency custody order? You might have to have the oldest kid tell the judge what is going on since he is the 'legal' parent.
I'd call the police next time he gets violent. That way you have a police report to help document everything.
So, I was going to call to
So, I was going to call to find out what I have to do to get a restraining order, but I know that SD12 doesn't want me to do that.
I am going to call the courthouse, though to see what I need to do to get an emergency custody order. I know both girls are ready and able to talk to the judge, if they have to, but the sooner the better, because SD12 will loose heart quickly.
He doesn't have to get violent. If he is at my house, and just refuses to leave, I will call the police. I am not going to put up with this anymore.
