When she came home from her fathers over the weekend, after visiting with her grandma and grandpa; It is very sad to hear my little girl beg me not to tell anyone what she is about to tell me because "Meme will not like me anymore". I promised her that I wouldn't and I always keep my promise to my daughter but this one I can not. She told me that her grandmother told her "Your mother has a sickness in her brain, and that everyday she will forget more and more and she will even forget you." and "Do not take your precious things to your mothers apartment beacause robbers and the bad guys break into the apartments and they could take your precious Do not take your precious things to your mothers apartment because robbers and the bad guys break into the apartments and they could take your precious Now my little girl want me to buy some more locks on for the door in our apartment to keep the robbers and the bad guys out.
This statement has been told over and over to my daughter: "Do not take your precious things to your mothers apartment because robbers and the bad guys break into the apartments and they could take your precious." 1.When They hid her form me in the motel the weekend I moved. 2.When my daughter went to spring break in Florida in March with her father. I begged him not to leave her at her house without him being there; this was out of Caroline's request. But he chose to let her stay there and go back to work leaving her ther 2 days. Absolutely never ever do I coax her into anything. She needs to be out of all of this mess and enjoy being a child. 3. This past weekend as described above.
My daughter said to me that she does not understand she thinks Meme does not like me (mom), that she says these things about you to make me love daddy more. I replied "You can love mom the same as you love dad. Never feel like you have to feel anything and you dad loves you very much and I love you very much. Daddy is a good daddy to you."
Caroline is very afaird of her grandmother. She has been since this summers incidinent. Before that things were not a problem for Caroline. Over the summer Shirley and John asked me if Caroline could go to Cape Cod for six weeks in a RV camper with her grandmother to experience the Cape and all that her father experienced as a boy, and also to help my mother in law out because she was having injections over the summer and she knew Caroline would bring her joy and a huge help. I thought about the situation and said yes. Caroline was having self esteem issues at school, I signed her up on a swim team, and my god you should of seen her! What a diiferent girl from scoolh to then! After her swim meets were over, and they won Divisonals, it was time for her to go to the Cape. The very last week of the 6th week we arrived and we were going to camp out with them in the new RV. When we got there my little girl was completely stripped of all the building of the self esteem that I had worked so hard on. Most of the time she was there she was yelled at by her grandmother. She looked very unhappy, never had I seen this before between granddaughter and grandmother. She immediately came running to me, she clinged to me every moment she could. Shirley said " There is something sick with the two of you always hugging and sitting so close to one another".
