Good news

Upon acquiring the transcript which has the conversations that I needed to provide proof that I have a right to visit with my Grandmother I also took the initiative to drive down to where my Daughter is a waitress and I spoke with my daughter and as we talked I revealed more to her that she didn't already know. She was interested and listened carefully to what I had to say. Our relationship is going to be rocky at best as we have to learn again how to make the most of our time. She wants to learn how to drive and she told me that her episode in the clinic did not result in her taking any medications not that they didn't try, she refused. There is a lot of good news here, and much more will be revealed when it is appropriate to do so. Things are starting to look up at least a little bit... Now to make copies of certain pages for my protection.

I'm glad your daughter is willing to listen. Take it slowly and maybe you will end up with a good relationship with her. Keep copies of everything so you are always sure of being protected. Take care.

Congratulations. I knew things would work out well with you. I hope your visit with your daughter went well and you also enjoy your visit with your Grandmother. I was just that you were a bit discouraged because things were not happening as fast as you like. Like that old adage about the wheels of justice rolling slowly comes to mind. Anyway now you are getting justice.

Well I went to visit today and Rosie never said a word, she opened the door and allowed me to visit even calling her son over so she could do what ever it was that she was doing... I had a nice little visit before I had to leave for business that needed to be taken care of. Yes, I'm sorry this is a bit of a soap opera, but as they say truth is stranger than fiction and I have a hook, I'm not sure but I'm really thinking of setting up with online publishing. I think it is getting close to the time that I should be thinking about selling the rest of my story, I should not just give it away. There is like a 880 electric line hooked up to this script, and as I said it is all true... Unraveling before our eyes...

I'm waiting. You know, this is sounding more like a soap opera or one of those dramas on Tv. I do hope that things go better for you.

Yes, she will know the truth as she has bits and pieces she knows a lot already and she is going to have a key role in our future. I hope that getting the two of them on board will clear the path for a lot of other issues getting resolved between me and my son especially. Now that is going to take a lot of hard work and it is going to be so difficult because of the poisonous thoughts that he has been forced to believe. I'm not going to be free and clear for a long time, but at least I'm getting some movement and it appears that we have forward movement.

Hey Gary, It's nice to hear that you were at least able to talk with your daughter. Communication is so vital to a relationship. It sounds like you have a very strained relationship but patience and hard work will prevail. I'm sorry I haven't been able to keep up with your situation. My computer has been a major problem for me, but I will check in when I can. I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and wishes for your success. Hugsss leenie

yes, after every dark night, there is a morning. So, the morning is starting to give its appearance to you. Now, one thing I want to ask is: What was the reason that you needed an approval for meeting your grandmother. I mean I could meet my grand ma whenever I wanted till she was alive!

The approval was a court order called a PFA (Protection from Abuse) You need to prove that there is a high probability that you can be harmed and if so ordered there are consequences or special rules. I'm not going to go into all of the details of what is involved but there are some strict and restrictive guidelines in place. I didn't want to risk a hostile confrontation with out documentation that I indeed was not to be restricted from a peaceable visit with my Grandmother. So the court transcript provided wording from the Judge that explicitly directed the Guardians to respect my right of visitation. You see the police were called on Nov. 26th they were told that when I wanted to visit with my Grandmother that I was trespassing and that I was being punished, one week of no visits, for my testimony in court the day before. The police officer asked me if I had anything in writing to prove that I have a right to visit with my Grandmother. What did I have? Can you believe such non-sense? But the law made the rules and the rules were explained so before I visit I make sure I have my identification and the part of the transcript that entitles me to make reasonable visits to and with my Grandmother.

My request for a hearing is still pending, the certified letter was accepted on July 20th and here we are the end of August and it still has not been confirmed as accepted by the Federal Clerk of Court for the Honorable Judge to provide my date to proceed as an order of the court.

Thanks Faith, I haven't heard from her lately, she sent a text the other day that she wasn't feeling well and it was fairly late, so with school and all that is going on, I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is. I'll just have to be patient and allow things to catch up... I seem to be out in front of a lot of things currently happening.
