Jennifer admitted today that she is not mentally prepared to be a mother. She also admitted to being child like and has never actually “grown up.” This is very brave and respectable to admit, it must kill her inside, although she doesn’t seem to upset. We’ve worked out a preliminary custody agreement which only needs to be drafted by a lawyer and signed by us both. I only worry that her parents will pressure her into changing her mind and to fight me. Her parents, like Jen, treat my daughter, and Jen’s other daughter, as property to be owned, not loved and shared. I get the feeling that her parents are only concerned because my daughter is THEIR graddaughter and, even though they never met her, have some sort of stake in her. I understand that they may love her but from what I’ve noticed it’s more of a “mine, mine, gimmee , gimmee” deal. I also feel that if they don’t have ownership over my daughter they think it will reflect poorly on them, hense the attacks on Jen.
Hopefully all goes well.

Really very sorry to hear about all of this. A child is precious (I have 3 of my own), and vulnerable. I am interested to hear what has happened since your last entry – have you still got your daughter? Where is “Jen” now? Please update your blog!
All best wishes and prayers go out for you
