Hey!!
I've not been here much the past few months.
Been one hell of a ride lately!
In fact, since last May it's been balls to the walls and I can't believe I'm still somewhat sane!
I took a new job for a large dealership group. I was hired as the new Parts Mgr in the new Mopar dealership they had just acquired. But...........
"We have this Ford dealership we just got too and it really needs some attention."
So off to the Ford store for a few months. I was able to rebuild the stores wholesale situation, make the outside customers happy and build up new clientele.
One thing I did learn, if you can deal with Ford, you can deal with any car manufacturer.
Ford is quiet about the fact they "never took the buyout". The fact is they did, just not directly from government. With Ford, there were way to many FAD's who realized they better step up or they go down with the ship.
I digress, I did what I needed to do and now I'm back with Mopar.
My world makes sense again. At least from the job prospective.
I am currently waiting on this nice new dealership that is being built up the street. I can't wait to get there.
On the home front, just as crazy!
This past June my grand daughter was "stolen" from me. It took 3 days and a pissed off judge to get her returned to me.
My daughter took Chey during a visit with my ex-mother in law. My daughter wasn't supposed to be there, but she showed up. (for those who don't know, my daughter has a bad ****** problem, custody was removed from her and given to me, she has no parental rights to include visitation.) She put Chey in her car and took off. She concocted a story about how I was molesting my grand daughter. The court refused to listen to her. She couldn't keep her story straight. Not to mention my grand daughter denied any such thing had ever happened. When the court refused to grant the order my daughter wanted, she still refused to return Chey. I went to the police, they told me file a contempt of court charge, there's nothing to file contempt for, this is a kidnapping case you "f"ing morons!!
Went to the judge again, a phone call get made, I'm told to go to sheriff's office and wait.
The Calvary gets called in this time. Seems the only ones in contempt was the police for not doing their job. Get Chey back, but not without drama.
Hoping things can settle down, move along.
I find a new home, we buy it! Yayyyy!
So, we're getting moved and settled, when out of the blue, we get hit with a custody demand. I've had about enough at this point. I'm getting a lawyer!
So we appear a the hearing, I have attorney in tow. My daughter thinks she's getting Chey when she leaves that day, my atty gets a continuation so that my daughter can retain a atty. Pre-trial hearing, no atty yet, but my daughter is ordered to show for a deposition.
That turned into fun. At least for me, not so much my daughter. Who still had no atty BTW.
Big court day comes!
Daughter shows up, still no atty. Her witnesses that I'm a horrible person, herself, my ex-wife and the ex's boyfriend.
The judge is very specific about what can be said and what we were there for.
It was my daughters burden to prove that since March 2014 there was something I have done or caused that made my grand daughters situation worse than what it was prior to.
So when she started on her story about how I "drug her up the stairs" when she was 10 yrs old. Before my atty had a chance to object, the judge did it for him.
In fact, at almost every turn when she opened her mouth, she was shut down.
She stated that I kept Chey away from her, damn right I do! I'm done trying to get cops to do their jobs! But she also said that she didn't know where Chey went to school. Now this seems mundane, but became something. My daughter didn't bother to come to any function at school, family, or extracurricular that Chey was involved with. This includes her 9th birthday party.
The ex-wife comes in. She starts the same pre-planned story. Stopped right there in her tracks! Made to look like an ***. But during this, she testified that, yes she knows where Chey goes to school, and she's told my daughter. Of course she didn't know why that question was asked at the time.
My ex tried her damnedest to lie and purger herself. The evil out of her mouth was unreal!
She was visibly frustrated when my atty got done.
The boyfriend comes in. This guy is dumber than a mud fence. He tried to start the story, but after he was shut down, he didn't really have anywhere to go.
He also testified that he knew where Chey went to school, he took it further and admitted that I did invite family to these events.
My daughter rest her case. My atty immediately moves for dismissal. Nothing has been proven that I'm a horrible person and in fact, I've tried to include them. I haven't even gotten to testify yet either!
Judge decides to take the motion under consideration, so she continues until April.
I'm happy, but still wired up, I want this over!
I get a call from my son around 6:30 that night. His mother, my ex has suffered a massive stroke. Things are looking bad, I better bring Chey to the hospital to say goodbye.
I turns out, the ex suffered a brain aneurysm, she was brain dead before she hit the floor.
Now I have some mixed emotions,
my ex is my son's mother. She was my grand daughters grand mother. For them, my heart is breaking! Me, I'm thinking instant karma!
Funeral comes, (whole other bit of drama in it's self) I'm asked to bring Chey. I do, I'm talking with some mutual friends when my son comes to me and tells me that I need to leave. My daughter is making a scene, my son hates this, but I should leave. I'm not mad, I go. What I discover is that my daughter and her husband started a fight with my son. My ex brother in laws had to hold my son back and basically get things in control. For my son to get to that point, especially then, what ever was said, had to be horrible.
I'm told that it was said that my daughters husband has threatened my life.
Here we are, I know it's long winded, trust me this is the Cliff Notes version, but I needed to vent or get this out, whatever.
I can't make this crap up!
I'm waiting on a dismissal for the custody case, and I'm sure it'll happen now more than ever.
Man I can't wait until all of this crap is over!
Summer can't get here fast enough! Hopefully I can even visit here more often!
Anyway, I do want to say that I was super happy for the Secret Santa this year. It was a huge diversion that I desperately needed!
Thanks for that!
