    The Hellifax, never cease to amaze me..they have been giving me a headache lately with the credit card. I can't wait to get rid of it, which will hopefully be very soon. grrr

    i worry that I'll lose her as it's very rare for fathers to win their kids..no matter how bad the mother is but will enjoy her now..just wish I had energy to spend more time with her.

    Hi Taxi, my first post here but I have been reading. My hubby did - two sons from his first marriage have always been with us (with him for two years before I appeared). So, it does happen.

    Good luck with this and thinking of you and yours.

    Hi taxi. I hope you are feeling OK and getting lots of rest. Really hope things go right with granddaughter and she can stay with her dad and her extended family - a young grandma nearby must be a bit plus point

    Hey Taxi

    Just catching up on the last few pages....your diary also moves fast.

    Hope loppy juice session went well and you aren't feeling icky!

    Re: GD, my experience has been that if mum doesn't want her and is ok with dad having her, it should be plain sailing. If one or other parent has issues, the court (via SS) will look at who has best support mechanisms etc etc and make the decision in whats best for child. So hopefully, your son will get full custody.

    Hope you have a good weekend.
