My son could use some prayers if possible. He’s 27 and basically went through life learning the hard way. When he was 3 he witnessed my ex husband physically abusing me, we ended up divorced and I have been married to my current husband for 22 years. The grandparents on the ex side sued for grandparent rights and proceeded to poison his mind. We had to deprogrammed him and his brother once a month for 16 years. As an example she took my boys to see Brokeback Mountain when Alex was 8 and his brother was. 6.

As a result Alex got involved with drugs and God knows what else. He left home at 16 to love with his father and ended up pushing him down the stairs.

He ended up with a girl in New Jersey and had a son who is 1 today. He quit the drugs, smoking, even cut down caffeine and lived with her grandparents. We established a bit of a relationship, with my husband and I being extremely careful cautious. No he even enrolled in the hvac program at the local community college and is due to start in January.

Last week he called me in a panic. He found his “ baby mama” has been doing meth- he found the pipe and residue and has texts. She is breastfeeding my grandson.

We advised him to go to the grandparents and tell them and see if she can get help. We were not aware that the grandparents themselves were drug users and had a child die from heroin. When he confronted the mother she accused him Of interfering with her right to breastfeed. When he went to the grandparents they did nothing.

We then advised him to go to the police and they would involve social services. He did this, and the family accused him of ruining his life, kicked him out of the house, and the baby mama filed domestic abuse charges and got a temporality restraining order.

He has been living in a hotel, and works in a grocery store. Social services called the mother and said there was no cause to remove the child. We were willing to take him (we live in ohio) until the whole mess could be sorted out.

I found an attorney for him who has been trying to show cause for the child and help the court understand the charges are bogus (I truly believe this).

He went to his work and they are giving him more hours (he works 3rd shift). He is about to be homeless and we advised him to find emergency services.

His court date is this morning, and he worked last night. He will be riding a bike to the courthouse and going on 3 hours of sleep. It’s breaking my heart because this time it really wasn’t Alex’s fault. I’m sure he was aware of some of this behavior and he is a mess, but I truly believe he was turning himself around for the baby.

I’m terribly worried, and I’ve done all I can from Ohio. I’ve prayed daily. Alex is no angel and he’s incredibly good at screwing up, but this happened because he was trying to protect the baby.

If you could spare a prayer for Alex thst he makes it through court today, finds some type of shelter and that God protects that little baby I would appreciate it.

Gosh this was a long post. Sorry for that.
