Lovindad70- looking for a little clarification. You are the father, and you have two children, from two different mothers, is that correct? The first child is in the custody of grandmother. Is that correct? Second child is with your ex? Has a custody order been placed for the second child? What state do you reside in?
If there is no custody order for your second child I would say that is where you need to start along with hiring a lawyer (if financially possible). If you feel your child is in danger, (physical danger that is), you may want to contact Social Services in your area. I only recommend that if the child's physical welfare is at stake. My fiance has had Social services contacted numerous times for false allegations so please don't contact them unless there really is an issue.
I understand your feelings of hopelessness. We (my fiance and I) have been there a lot recently. The best thing you can do is fight for your children. They have a right to be with both parents. I've foud this site to be extremely helpful, for information and emotional support.
