I guess ALL people are scumbags!

[ditchdj]

My mother just confessed to calling children's services on me, saying that I'm abusive to my nine year old! And to think I was nice enough to let her have her for the summer. I wont even go to her funeral, I dont give a shit what anyone else says.

[Becks]

Wow, Ditch, I don't even know what to say.

[NightWolf]

um....WOW!! what the hell is wrong with people?!? This is your mother for cryin out loud. So much for relying on family I guess. Wow!

[ditchdj]

Well, she's living proof that "You are your own worst enemy" because pretty soon she's just gonna die in complete misery all by herself. I'm gonna be videotaping me getting her so in case anyone else in the family thinks I'm a real scumbag for being sooo mean to a nice little old lady like my mother's gonna find themselves choking on their own words.

Wow, ditchdj, without really knowing the details of your family dynamics, I have to say,this situation saddens me.

Sounds very dysfunctional.
I am sure that, if she did call, and they investigate, they will find no proof to substantiate.

*hugs* I hope this works out for you. I think you need to talk to someone to deal with the anger and consequences of this thing.

I'm sorry this is happening to you and your family.
Remember we're here for you.

I am so sorry you are going through this. Just love your little one and don't let what your mother does or say bring you down.

Ditch, in the "sad but true" department I've found that it's often the people closest to you who find ways to screw you the most (pardon my French), and I'm sorry that you get to add our name to the list - but, rest assured, you're in great company. :hug:

That said, we are here for you, so please feel free to vent to us. I'm going to go with my instinct here and say that there's no way you deserved that call, so hang in there and you'll eventually be vindicated.

Your second post sounds like you're going to do something to her. If she's that whacked out and unconcerned for family, then just cut ties and move on. If you act out some revenge, you'll probably regret it later.

Make sure your kiddie gets lots of love from family that you love and respect, and just cease to have anything to do with psycho mom. I don't have a kid involved, but I've had to do the exact same thing. My mother's freaking whacked. I just don't have anything to do with her. I'm happier that way, overall.

Your second post sounds like you're going to do something to her.

I think "getting her" actually refers to picking up the child. Video taping it will ensure that IF the mother accuses ditchdj of doing something bad then there will be proof otherwise.

[One-Fang]

Whoops, my bad. :)

Video taping the pickup does sound like it'll back you up when she tells other family members "DJ swore at me when picked the kid up and threatened to beat me up, she's so mean".

[ditchdj]

Thanks for the support. I told me nine year old on the phone that I'm going up there to get her Monday but I havent told her she'll never have any contact with my mother again. I'm gonna leave that for the councelling session that I plan on setting up for her.

I just have to ask. Where did your mother get her info from? I'm only asking because even though she didn't call, my mother threatened to call CPS (and mentioned that she wasn't going to call because someone else would) on me when my son was still an infant because of fraudulent infomation given to her by my aunt, who got said info from a cousin. (Who had last seen me 2 weeks before I gave birth.)

My cousin has apologized but can't still can't seem to understand why I am so distant with her. (She admitted that she was trying to put a wedge between me and my mother.)
