She decided to go all in to see if we were bluffing, in a few days, she'll find out we aren't. We met with our lawyer to go over everything. I filled out paperwork and handed over $2,000 dollars. If signing papers declaring your sister an unfit parent isn't enough pain, handing over the $2,000 makes it a reality.
I handed over the copies of the 50+ pages of text messages. We went over my sisters history and Thugboy's history. Before we discussed everything, he mentioned needing to prove neglect, abuse, etc and I was a bit worried that we wouldn't have enough, but man, the words just flowed. After we finished talking, he had five pages of information written down. I felt a little more confident about everything.
As it stands now, he should have the pages drawn up between Tuesday and Wednesday. The processor will serve her Wednesday or Thursday. They will be calling me first to see if she's at home or work. I am so nervous about her reaction. I don't think she really thinks we're doing this, but we are.
I know it's the right thing. I know I have my family behind us, but I'm so emotional about all of it. I'm bawling every few minutes (not around A). I almost threw up getting toilet paper in Walmart from the stress. My stomach hurts. I'm having chest pains. And, K? She doesn't care. She's waltzing around like nothing happened yesterday.
I am so scared y'all. What if she tries to run? What if after spending all of this money, we still don't get her? What if she moves out after getting served and takes the baby?
I called my aunt and uncle in 0rlando to give them a heads up of the situation because I didn't want K calling them and feeding them a bunch of bullshit. My aunt said not to worry because K wasn't going to be able to run there.
It's the unknown that scares me, the what if's. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Oh, honey. I'm so sorry it's come to this. I know you don't have a lot of time to yourself, but finding some and just blowing off some steam is important.
Isn't there some legal thing about being suspected of being unfit and moving the child away from where s/he usually lives? It seems like there should be. At the very least, it will help your case down the road, even though it will completely suck worse than words can express at the time.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, NYEBoy, A, and your family. My fingers are crossed that K will come to her senses and NOT run.
Saying lots of prayers for you.
I just wanted to wish you luck with everything. Having an unfit parent is a hard thing to recover from, but at least A has you and your DH to take care of her.
Good luck and I will be thinking about you guys. : )
Oh sweetie, I'm praying with everything I have that everything works out just as it should. You are doing such a good thing! I'm also praying for peace in your heart! xoxo KUP about everything!
You have the strength I wish I had. I'm going through a similar situation with my Brother... except, we aren't in a situation to be able to fight for my Nephew as my Husband is disabled and unemployed and we have a little one. You are very lucky to be able to do this for your Niece. Really, she's all that matters. I'm thinking of you and you're in my thoughts.
Oh wow this is all so much for you to deal with. I hope that things go as smoothly as they can for you. You are certainly in my thoughts and prayers. xxx
prayers...
