@April Nicolas Thanks so much! It was pushed out until October 6th (my birthday). My daughter's lawyer tried to get it dismissed. Judge declined. The next meeting is just with the lawyers. My daughter and I had the opportunity to speak with the Guardian Ad Litum (Grandbaby's lawyer) after court. She will meet with us and my grandbaby on September 10th. His lawyer is arguing that since time has passed, Supervised visitation is no longer needed. Jessa's lawyer is arguing that since he hasn't complied with current order, Supervised visitation needs to stay in place until he complies. To be continued...

@April Nicolas I really appreciate it! Yes, trusting the process is really all we can do at this point.

@Vickie Helm Thank you!

@Susan Kline and it's perfectly ok to go against the grain to choose what's best for you. 😀

Whooo hooo! Congratulations! 🥳

Done! Looking forward to reading it! 😀

My Grandmother grew up during the Great Depression so even though she actually had quite a bit of money saved, she refused to spend any even when she probably should, ie: water damage to her walls, due to leaking roof, etc. I remember her being so frugal. My aunt jokingly said one time, "You can't take it with you, might as well enjoy life or I will enjoy spending it after you are gone." Her being a saver almost to her detriment and my mother on the other end of the spectrum being a spender almost to her own detriment... (My grandma was my dad's and aunt's mother so they were both great savers. I remember when I was in middle school and my dad lost his job. My brother and I never felt a change to our lifestyle as he had enough saved and was living off his savings until he got another job. My dad's love language is gifts, buying me things, which I never wanted. My love languages are quality time and physical touch. All I ever wanted was for my father to be there for me emotionally and unfortunately, he never has. That's a story for another day... anyway, because of that, money wasn't important to me. For the longest time when I was younger, if I had it, I would give it away. As I mentioned in other post my dad never taught me how to be responsible with it and when I would call and ask for help, he would yell at me, but then he would give it to me. I always paid him back. The funny thing is I had major anxiety when my oldest was 16. She had saved some money for a car and was working. I wasn't in position at the time to help her. I dreaded making the call to ask him if she could borrow a couple thousand from him to buy a car outright so she wouldn't have car payment. He agreed without giving me a hard time. I was shocked! She made agreement to pay him monthly and had 2 years to do it. She paid him back in less than a year. When I received my inheritance from my aunt, I paid off a bunch of things, was taken advantage of from past business partner (male) who said he would pay me back but never did, owed me over $25K. As I said, I used to give money away if I had it. But over the years and plenty of personal development, I now realize it is a tool, as mentioned I still had some of my inheritance, got involved with the private investment club, so have gotten much better with managing it. I used to feel physically ill if I had an abundance of it and felt I didn't deserve it. I no longer feel that way.
