What is the name of your state?Ohio
Dad is exercising his 4 consecutive week visitation ( court ordered) On Friday, I had the child call to speak with her Mom because she hadn't seen her or talked to her in 1 week. Mom immediately wanted to speak with me ( step mom) since Dad wasn't home. She told me it was her weekend and if I didn't have child home by 6:30 she was calling the police. I tried explaining to her that her weekend was next weekend. 1 st & 3 rd weekends of month. She asked to speak with child. Child said No Thanks, just tell her I said bye. Mom hung up. I called back, she continued to yell at me and it was upsetting the child since the child didn't want to call her in the first place. I told her I would bring her home, Mom continued to yell and was accusing me of keeping her. She said she already had called the police. Kept yelling at me.So I hung up. We left.
I had to run an errand first and then we drove her home. Took all of an hour. No one was there. I left message on their phone that they could come get her. I was not making two trips. We came back home. Mom called two hours later. Asking to speak with child. Child was busy. She continued to yell at me. Saying I was kidnapping child and Dad was in contempt of Court. How was that even possible I told them to come get her. I hung up. I called Police. She was on hold with them while I talked with someone. I told my side of the story. Apparently they came to our house to get her. Why would they come out to get her, if I said I was bringing her home for the weekend. Maybe she assumed I was vindictive like she is. I don't know.
Anyway, I told the Police that child would call her when we got off the phone. Mom talked with child and then I spoke with her to see what time she was coming to get her. Mom always wants to argue. It couldn't have been Ok I'll be there at this time, bye. She is still argueing about 10 yrs. ago when my husband and her broke up. They dated in High School. My 10 yr. reunion is next month. She hung up. I called back, talked with step dad and set up a time. 5:00 p.m. Saturday. Step Dad calls early Saturday, wants to come get her then. I said fine. Step Dad comes over, gets child, was nice, I told child we'll see her Sunday night at 7:00. Step Dad said fine, we'll be there. I said see you then.
It's now Sunday, Mom called Dad about two hours ago saying that she wants Dad to sign over all rights to the child, child doesn't want to see him anymore, and she was coming over at 7:00 to get the childs softball stuff. Dad said he was tired of playing her games. He doesn't know what to do.She has kept the child from him many times. And as in my other posts she has abused child physically, emotionally, has neglected the child. Not trying to talk bad about anyone, but she needs HELP! She is always playing mind games with the child.
I found out, of course I'm crying and very upset. Not see my step daughter ever again. No way. I call back and of course they don't answer the phone. And of course yes they are home. I'm not psychic, but when you're in the middle of a game for this long you just know. Sorry, got side tracked. I told the machine that if child was not in Dad's possession by 7:00, either by her coming out here or us picking her up that SHE was in violation of court order.
Now what do we do. I know they got the message. If she won't answer the phone. Do we go to pick up the child with the POLICE or do we wait for her to come at 7:00 to pick up child's stuff and hope she's with them?
Dad still has three weeks vacation with her and he is on vacation from work this week, and Mom knows this. Any advice is deeply appreciated. We are so upset and confused on what to do. We just know that the child needs to be away from there.
