i am so lost and sad. i have had my grandsons for the summer and she came up from california last night and picked them up. they didnt want to leave. kimani , the 7 year old, even said that he was going to hide from her. baby jaymes stuck to me and it broke my heart. i should have listened to the cps worker and went and got temporary custody. they have been in cal with their mom for a year now and have stayed in different peoples houses the whole time. kimani told me one place they stayed they were only allowed to eat cereal. when they stayed at their other grandmas he got alot of spankings from her with a belt.their mom showed up here with four people in one car. they crammed the kids into it. and she was either stoned or drunk. she is an alcoholic and a drug user. it was almost midnight and i stood in the road and cried my eyes out long after they drove away. i am afraid if i call the cps worker on her she will not let us see the kids again. i am so lost and worried over them . baby jaymes will be two in october and he has very little weight to him. since we have had them, he talks and sings and changed into a happy little guy. i guess i just needed to vent. i miss them so much it hurts. hopefully there is a way we can get them back.
thank you all for your support. i just feel so empty. i had a long talk with my son last night. he got 75,000 from a trust fund i had set up for him when his dad was killed at work. he got that three years ago when he turned 18. he suddenly had alot of friends. he blew through all of it in less than a year. and also wracked up alot of tickets in the process. he has grown up alot being in jail. i told him when he gets out on the 24th. he will have a clean bill and if he really wants baby jaymes. he needs to get a job and and be responsible. he shows them kids more love than their mom ever did. he is the legal father. we have no rights to kimani as she had him when my son met her. he is not kimanis father.but i want him too. he is only 7 and doesnt deserve the life he has.when he was here, it was the first time hes ever had his own room. clothes, toys, and regular meals. i hugged a smooched on the kids alot. i dont think they got much of that from their mom. she is too busy drugging, drinking and partying. my friend is going to give my son a job. she manages a gas station. and then shes giving him time off to go get the baby and bring him back. she said he can go get him and come back here and file for temporary custody and she couldnt do anything as he is his father. then we will work on getiing kimani too. i cant sit back and do nothing. they deserve a better life than they have been given by their mother.
thanx guys. she called tonight to let me know that they made it home. i talked to kimani for awile and when baby jaymes got on the phone i had all i could do to keep from bawling. i didnt want to scare him. i gave her the third degree about if they had food and were getting enough hugs and kisses. baby jaymes just does a rambling humm when he talks. i cant make out a word of it but it was music to my ears to hear his voice. here is a pic of him. hes such a cutie.
I will keep you & the kids in my prayers that they are back with you soon!
