We got back in town Saturday after the most AMAZING trip! We posted about 1,000 pictures. Had the best time.

I AM SOOOO PROUD OF DH! He did not wallow in the fact that SS was not there. He did not even mention it but one or 2 times and the comments were "SS is really going to regret not seeing this one day". He/ We/ The other 3 had a blast!  Totally lived in the moment, laughed, loved, and experienced everything we could. 

We did see a post about SS's spring break yesterday. It was almost comical. He went to AZ with his grandparents. He posted that it was the best spring break of his life. There were a few pictures taken from a car window- Hot air balloons landing (he did not ride, just saw them land), a road runner, and just some other randoms. He went 2-3 places that I can't even remember right now. Nothing of any historical or sightseeing significance though. So that was cute. He tried to get in a jab at his dad... even DH just rolled his eyes and said  he missed our trip for this crap?? LOL 

Now we wait for the next hearing. GAL has confirmed again with our attorney that he will testify for us and fully support a custody flip. 

We are renters (DH is military and we weren't planning on staying here for more than 3 years). I guess I need to start looking for a 5 bedroom. There is no way that SS18 with all his issues can share a room and DH and I agree that we wouldn't subject BS13 to SS14's antics and behavior in a shared room. It was one thing when it was peaceful with him being with us for a few weeks ay year when stars aligned and my Bio's and SS were at our house at the same time for a few weeks a year (up until last summer and he hasn't been back since) but now with all of this... We will have to get a bigger place if we "win" in court. 

My mom spoke to DH and I about her concerns bringing SS to live with us. She said expect some serious hate and probably a run a way or 2. DH said great, hope he like Juvie because the court is going to give SS to me based on the fact that his mother can't parent and he is out of control. I will throw his azz in so fast his head will spin. My mom nodded in approval and said good. Tough is what he needs if he acts out. 

I wish we could find out the date of court soon... This part sucks.  I really don't know what I want the outcome to be. Would it be great to get reimbursed and BM have some serious smack down and warned that if it happens again she WILL go to jail and she WILL lose custody? YEP!! Do I actually want SS to live with us?? I don't know... I really don't. I guess until we can actually speak to him and have time with his away from BM's influence and break down those walls and the brain washing I won't know. The only thing I know for sure is that therapy is going to be a MUST for all involved no matter the outcome.
