I can only offer you space to vent here, along with encouragement to keep working in the best interest of your grandchild. Certainly there are red flags all over. Perhaps one of my visitors can offer something more concrete to your situation. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

 Communications Failed
by: MeMe Cathy

Thank You so much for providing this website. I shall love to read your book! I am currently writing one, as well. I was told by a Detective and 3 Lawyers, including my granddaughter's Law Guardian, that Child Protective Services are GOD, basically. I was intimidated by that FOR SO LONG! I have since confronted them with inadequate investigation tactics, perhaps getting my grandbaby's unfounded case re-opened. My daughter covered for her new boyfriend, bottom line. Wish my 4 year old granddaughter LUCK! MeMe Cathy

 A Mother's Denial
by: Mrs.R.

Hallo Meme, So very sorry to here your story, I can't imagine what you must be going through. It must be so frustrating for you.
It sounds to me like your daughter now resents you, some and I say that again "some" mothers feel that they cannot cope with out a man and will ignore what is happening in the household just to keep him. From your letter this seems to be the case. You have reported what you believe but unless the Agency involves does not visually see what you are saying their hands are tied.
I think you can only wait and see what develops because your daughter does not want you in her life, her man is everything to her so she thinks.
May be standing back and give them a little space might encourage your daughter to calm down herself and maybe you and she could become friends again, at least that way you stand some chance of possibly seeing your grand daughter again.
Obviously how you are reacting right now is putting up a barrier between you and her.
That is all that I can suggest, I wish you luck and pray that your grand daughter is alright.

MeMe Cathy thank you for letting Darlene be aware the value of her vision in setting up her website: Since I found it I gave been empowered in my healing from abuse by her personal comment to each visitor: She is a true and remarkable relationship lady: Even with her words of love and encouragement through her site: To a Mother in Denial: You her mother and the Grand-Mother to her child I pray and hope will succeed in helping your Daughter to accept her responsibility for her beautiful child: You must let people know your loving motherly feelings for both: Maybe a teacher in the childs school would notice the childs behaviour and indifferenc at school: her neglect at home: Or there is a school nurse or counsellor: Sadly and wrongly for you to be believed you must have proof for the Authorities: Keep trying to communicate your real concern to your Daughter but don't over do it or she might completely close up on you: You are a good voice for both: I hope that beast will be taken away from them both: Darlene has given you some hope of what to keep doing: If you don't succeed at first or 10th time: TRY, TRY again and you will be the winner:

 to a mother in denial
by: Anonymous

To a mother in denial,
You absolutly can not give up on that poor child, that is so terrible that this has happened. As an early childhood teacher in training myself I believe that children have rights, your grandaughter is probably scared to say anything to the mother and is why she has come to you. You need to get proof that this is happening some how. maybe talk to the school to see if anything has changed about your grandaughter, has she become withdrawn, changes in attitude, behaviour, learning patterns changed etc... and if you have noticed physical changes in her then surely the school has too. Please dont leave this to go on. I can see your frustrations with everything but you must fight for the rights and protection of your grandaughter.
