I dont want to spread all my business here at the moment but as predicted, the boyfriend of my daughter-father of my grandson is a piece of you know what. Nearly a month ago we had to clean out an entire room in one day and the next day move her and the grandson into the house with us. Today she was approved for a temp restraining order (ex parte) and has zoom court wed. I was hoping that anyone who has had experience navigating the family court situation in general and (if Im super lucky) someone who understands it in more of a professional sense would reach out and PM me. I can offer more details that way. I am NOT asking or looking for legal advice. She applied for legal aid and its been two weeks, she called today and cant get anyone on the phone. I will share more here for others in time but I wanted to quickly post this and I will do my best checking in and out. love to all.

Good for you that you provided a place where your daughter and grandchild can be safe. Good for your daughter who finally made the choice to completely distance from a toxic person. Your daughter will need therapy to help her finally build strength and ability to understand she made the right choice. Right now she is still vulnerable and may falter about herself and this choice.

What I can say from personal experience is the wheels of justice spin very slowly and it can be very hard to endure and be patient. The pool of professionals that deal with this challenge may be few. So patience is paramount.
Thanks for this!

This challenge is especially hard because there is an innocent young child at risk. Abusers often use that to manipulate. Yes, it’s extra stressful when wanting to protect a child in unhealthy relationships.

It’s very important that she and you collect and save every piece of evidence. Like if he texts her something today or calls or drives by your house or she has any evidence from the past of anything. Keep all in one place. Screenshots pictures ant other records. Praying for the best outcome.
