A counselor at the school (in Fall River) called me and told me Mariah was showing emotional stress that was becoming physical and that she had missed 12 out of 20 days of school. I was so upset; but, I can't get anything done because I am only the grandparent and I have no official rights at this point. |
I was devastated and so was my granddaughter but there is nothing legally that anyone could do. I might have supported Mariah making the transition slowly, but my daughter just came in and took her away from everything she has ever known. |
Things are just now starting to fall into place. But, if you were to ask me how things were last month, I wouldn't have said that. |
