Last night I threw Lissa's mother out of my house. For bullying and threatening her daughter for talking to me about her home life. She thinks I'm a bitch, but, I think someone has to be. It might as well be me. I actually don't get called a bitch as much as you might think. I haven't been called a bitch offline for about 5 years. And that was by the same person. I'm sensing a pattern.Bitch? I'll take that title. You want to know what I was thinking? I was thinking that if Cindy Anthony had been a bigger bitch, her granddaughter might still be alive.

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!
what kind of mother bullies and threatens their child?!?!?! i'm sure you've told the case worker about this too....
Nope. I haven't said jack about anything. I've given her enough rope to hang herself and she has. This latest revelation has made me realize why Lis won't talk. Now, I have to convince her she CAN talk to her lawyer or her social worker. I think I can do it.
Lis DEFINITELY has to talk to her lawyer and social worker.....but how confusing for a child!!! what a horrible situation for a 'mother' to put her child in!
You know how it is. Did you have a grandma who tried to protect you?
nope...no one on either side of the family did jack shit for me (and they all knew vivian was nuts)....the only person who ever did anything for me was the wife of a friend of my father's who was a teacher at the grade school i went too and i use to get double lunches....i can't prove it was her who did that, but i always felt it was her because she would ask me if i had like lunch, etc.....
It breaks my heart to think of you, little and alone with that psycho. Alissa has me. I have never known the extent of what goes on over there, because Lis has been warned not to talk about it. But, now, she's told me. I am horrified and pissed off. And Lissa saw that I'd step in and protect her like I did last night. I told that woman to leave my grandaughter alone and I threw her out.
The only way to fight this is to get Lis to tell the social worker what goes on in that house. Now that she knows I'll protect her, I think she will. She doesn't want to go home any more.
And I know you're wondering what it was, all I can say is she is not sexually abused or being hit. But, it's bad. And it's over.
with Lis knowing she has YOU and feeling safe & secure with you and having seen you stand up to her mother, that should let her know it's 'safe' to tell the people who need to know about what she's seen, etc....
I know you'll do everything you can to protect Lis and i am sure she knows that too....
i stood up to a family member over abuse towards their kid years ago and the kid still brings it up as says how grateful he is. it doesnt happen enough, thats why kids are so easily abused. good on you!!!
Ugh, that poor kid :( . Good for you for stepping in.
Poor Lis, I am so glad tho that she has you as her advocate, at least now she has a fighting chance.
xx
P.S. your comment about Cindy ANthony was a scary food for thought
You go Grandma Bitch! Someone has to take care of Lissa & right now you are the only adult in her life.
Keep at it for your Lis. Thank goodness she has you in her life. And her brother too.
Hang in there--and let us know if you need anything.
Not to make light you can never be to young to learn how to deal with an attorney.
Dumb mom will hang herself.
Best to you both on all of that wish it would just go away.
Good for you. Now her mother knows that you will not accept just about everything and will defend Lissa's right to talk about what is going on at home in order to make thins better.
And now Lissa can let it all out and feel safe doing so. I can only imagine how difficult the flow is/will be but at least she can start letting go of burdens she need not bottle up at her age.
I wish all kids had a grandma DD close at hand.
I got cold chills reading that. Poor Lissa....I'm glad she has you!!
It gets worse. I called the cops on her last night. Waiting for the social worker to call now.
good on you for calling the cops!!! i'm sure though if lis was awake that was upsetting for her, but i know you would have explained things to her so she'd understand....
HELL YEA.. Right on DD. You have every right to be a bitch in this situation. Good for you standing up for lis. I'm so glad she has you for a strong minded supportive grandmother. Best of luck to the both of you.
We need all the luck we can get right now. It's been a helluva week.
Anyone heard from Erin??
Hang in there -- You are doing all the things that need to be done/dealt with. Eric would be (is) very proud of you and knew that he could always count on you for Lissa. Don't want to sound all dramatic and schmaltzy but that little girl needs you more than anything else in her life right now -- whatever you need to do to make it alright for her, do it. If that makes you a bitch, I'm pretty sure she's alright with that. Wish we were all closer to help.
Have been thinking of Erin today! I hope we get some news soon!!
