our Christmas Eve/Christmas morning drama!!

Ok so let me first start by saying DH's parents are divorced, his father remarried and had a baby with the new wife who he is now divorced from. well their kid 7 yr old girl, Laura, who was my flower girl! well DH's father pretty much raises her by him self! her mother is a drunk and very unreliable and been arrested a bunch of times!
well we got to FIL's house on christams eve and he told us that laura's mom was prob going to come pick her up sometime tonight. but he was like whatever we will see cuz who knows with her.

at 1:00am she calls to see if laura wants to get picked up, but laura didnt wanna go, she told her no she was going to stay with her dad, and the mother called back 3 more times!! finally laura agreed to go with her mom..

as we were waiting for her to pick her up, laura was sitting on DH's lap was being all sad and DH was like laura you dont have to go if you dont want to, and she says 'i have to they said they were going to throw my toys away if i dont go' WHAT!! HOW DO YOU SAY THAT TO A LITTLE GIRL ON CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!

well ok here comes the drama so a little while later we look outside and there is like 4 people standing on FIL's front stoop....so DH goes umm why is there so many people out there! so laura was looking for her jacket, and FIL goes outside and just confronted them about picking her up so late, and why there was so many people there! next thing you know DH runs to put his shoes on and runs outside and then a min later Laura is screaming her head off!! 'daddy daddy, someone help my daddy!! i run out side and there is a full on brawl outside! laura is tramatisd! im freaked out cuz now DH got into it and my FIL is on the floor getting kicked and punched and i get laura into the house and im telling to dont worry he will be fine, chris will get him it will be ok! she is just crying so i go to grab my phone to call the cops! when lauras mothers other daughter who is prob older comes into the house! to get laura! laura doesnt wanna go is crying im holding her back and telling laura she doesnt have to go the girl pull laura from my hands and picks her up and says she will be fine! so i start screaming at her she doesnt wanna go let her go!

im soo mad at myself for letting her take her! you have no idea ive been killing myself this whole weekend!! and i didnt do anything not cuz i was scarred of this girl, because honestly i would have f'ed this girl up! laura is my SIL and means the world to me, ive pretty much known her her whole life! the only reason i didnt do anything was cuz Laura was right there! already tramatised and me getting into a fight with her sister in front of her after she just witnessed her dad get beat up! noo!

FIL was sooo messed up! it was the mothers new boyfriend and her 17 year old son who were beating the living crap out of him! his face was completely swollen and blood everywhere! we called the cops and filed a report and had them arrested! spend the whole night in the emergency room with FIL...he has a fractured face!!

the mother was suppose to have laura for the weekend so we are waiting to see if she will bring her home when she was suppose to! FIL called her yesterday hoping to get a call back and didnt hear back!

i feel responsible if she doesnt bring her back beacuse i should have never let her go! FIL doesnt seem worried cuz altho they share cusdody he is the primary, and after this whole thing if she doesnt bring her back he is just going to family court!

we told him all day hes gotta fight for full custody!!! cuz this is not the first time she has pulled stuff like this before! altho not infront of laura but not good for laura to be around!!

sorry this was soo long
please pray that laura is ok and is returned without any issues!! cuz i will just blame myself if she doesnt!

FIL is ok by the way, just all black and blued! he said he doesnt really feel much pain so that good!

it was such a hard thing to witness!! there was soo much wrong on soo many levels! first you dont tell your kid on christmas you are going to throw away her toys, you dont pick up your kid at 1:30 morning! and you dont put your kid thru watching her dad get beat up!!! these are just bad people and i am soo angry laura is the one who is going to hurt

So sorry you guys had to go through this on Christmas! I'll be for Laura. I know the situation all to well, DH's little brother is going through it right now with his ex. She almost kept his daughter (our niece) from us on Christmas! Thankfully we were able to convince her to drop her off for a few hours so she could open presents with her cousins.

First of all I'm so sorry you had to go through this and even sorrier for Laura.

Second, do not beat yourself up over this. What could you have done? This poor little girl is probably so traumatized from the violence she witnessed, it's a good thing you didn't add to it.

I will pray that Laura's situation gets better. So sad that this is what a seven year old's Christmas has to be like.

OMG!!! Honey first of all, if Laura doesn't come back please don't blame yourself. You were doing what you thought was right and trying to make things easier for her. I think her father should absolutely go to court because that behavior is unacceptable and if Laura gets hurt by this guy, who obviously is a loose cannon, then it would be better to have on file that he complained about her having any custody of Laura.

I am thinking of your family and hoping all is well. Please keep us updated.

Holy $hit Jess, what a nightmare ... I'm so sorry your FIL and whole family is going through this! I hope that he can get full custody and get this crazy woman out of your SIL's life ... after what just happened I would imagine that would be a pretty easy thing to do (hopefully)!

Re: our Christmas Eve/Christmas morning drama!!

Oh My god Jess! I got the chills jsut reading this! You shouldn't blame yourself..nothing you did was your fault! I hope the situation with Laura gets better! How can she be allowed to stay in that house! Shame on the mother of that child! I hope the cops were involved! Let me tell you, if my husband showed up at that call he would of never allowed Laura to be taken and would of locked up the other 4 for assault!!!

I'm so sorry..I hope this situation will get better! Keep us all updated!!! We are here for you!!!

Re: our Christmas Eve/Christmas morning drama!!

WOW just WOW!! That is HORRIBLE!!

her mother is really a piece of crap!!

I think ALL of this should be reported and he should MOST DEF sue for FULL custody... REGARDLESS of whether she brings Laura back on time or not. He NEEDS it... with these type of people around... He NEEDS it!!!!

Why is the mother picking her up at 1:30 in the morning? That's SO insane and should DEF be brought up to the judge!!!

custody battles are AWFUL and most often turn VERY ugly.... but in the end it's worth it. This girl shouldn't have to go through this ever... or ever again.

I'm sorry for all of it.

Re: our Christmas Eve/Christmas morning drama!! *update on bottom*

ok sorry i really havent been on all day! my computer died on me and DH's had a virus!! he just updated his anti virus and now his comp is cured! mine well its still dead!!

ok here is the update...

FIL called his ex wife on saturday and left a message saying he better get a phone call from laura and expects her back when they originally had planned on it. He got a call on Sunday night from Laura.

Laura said she was fine, but wanted to come home and was very concerned how her dad was doing! (she is such an awesome kid!!!) i think she might have come home tonight or sometime tomorrow. FIL told her she just had a black eye so i think he wanted to make sure the stiches were out before he saw her. He doesnt wanna freak her out anymore! im going to check up on them tomorrow to make sure she is home safe and sound!! I just wanna freaking hug her!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all your prayers!!! it was a crazy night and i really hope that she is young enough to not be too effected by it! i told DH i know we are in NY and they are in NJ, but i really wanna make a point to see her more often than we do now, not that im all that normal (lol!!) but i would like to give her some more positive people in her life for her to look up to!
