My husband and I have been together since 2004 married since 2007. Throughout our relationship we have been fighting both his ex and mine for custody, court ordered visitation etc. recently his ex has started divorce proceedings with her 3rd husband. So this last spring she started calling my husband at random offering to let him see his son. Every time she offered he went even if I had to go to work for him no big deal.
The 1st Tuesday of November she called and asked if she could come to the house to talk about SS we of course agreed. She showed up at 3 pm with SS in tow, came inside and basically said she couldn't handle him anymore. He was getting in trouble at school, minor vandalism at a local store, plus her new "roommates" don't like him and had been locking him out of the house despite it being winter. Which resulted in neighbors calling troopers. She said either we take him or she was going to have the store press charges. This was a no brainer we of course said yes she said ok goodbye walked out the door and left. Kid had a backpack with diapers, wipes, dirty clothes "1 outfit", snow boots "too big", jacket "xxxl". She didn't bring any of his belongings, clothes, didn't even tell us what school or time it started. We knew almost nothing about his medical history, had no custody paperwork, nothing.
So I spent the next 2 hours calling my family to find out what school and what pick up and drop off times were. Then made a trip to store for clothes, to my mom & sister for incontinence supplies. Get him fed, bathed and put to bed in the empty room. Tell the 21 year old to wake husband and I up for work at 11pm. Go to sleep only to wake up because SS is screaming bloody murder "don't touch me" took me hours to calm him down. When hubby or FS went in the room to try to calm him down the screaming/nightmare got worse.
Went to work came home woke him up made him shower, eat and get ready for school. Then drive him an hour and a half to school because husband is still working. Go home take a nap, get up take the drive out to school to pick him up. Only to have a teacher escort him out and demand a meeting in her office. At this point I find out he is in special ed classes and is supposed to take medication for ADHD. Also find out he has no school supplies, gym shoes, snowpants, incontinence supplies or spare clothes. Also owes the office $50 because he ordered pizza without permission or money.
Get home wake husband fill him in he drives out to BM house only to find she moved out. So he goes to her sisters house and tells her that we need medication and incontinence supplies.
