Alcoholic BM decides she is coming to get "her" son - hasn 't seen him since June
I am the SM, his BM hasnt been in his life since birth. SHe lost custody to my husband. My DH re-married and she helped raise him. BM comes in an out at her pleasing, until now, when G - my ss told her he was tired of being around the drugs, men, etc. SHe has no license, lives off whoever, never paid a dime in support but he, she's his mom. She has another child she put up for adoption and another child that she had G watching when he was 4 months old, G was 5. G found him in his crib dead. She wont get a job or a car and the 5 visits she has had with him since I came in the picture were US driving and picking him up over an hour away.
He doesn't want to tlak to her and told her months back, he's sick of it. Now he won't go outside and is in his room crying because he's scared she is going to show up.
We plan on modifying the court order very soon that states they have 50-50 custody (louisiana) that was done when he was a year old. Thing is, she can't have 50/50 because she can't take him across town to and from school and he doesn't even have a bedroom at her mom's.
What should we do if she shows up? Last time she showed up unannouced she was drunk. Can the cops take ss out of the home, against his will, because of old out of state court papers?
ANy advice appreciated.
This is really hard to offer
This is really hard to offer advise on. Because it's a terrible situation that the BM has caused, but there is the court order. I would get to a lawyer and get full custody and monitoried visitation for her. In the meantime, when she calls again, don't take her call. If she shows up at the door, tell her your SS isn't there (at G-ma's or a friends or Auntie's, anything). Usually papers define the protocol for pick-up and drop-off, e.g., ample notice, specific time and place, etc. Make her adhere to those rules. And obviously, if she is drunk, simply tell her to leave or you'll call the police on her. My point is, I would take a hard stand on this, get legal advise, and do what you can to protect your SS.
It is really hard for those
It is really hard for those with alcoholic BM's. Kids pick up on it too..:(
Good idea to call the police...have it on record
