ages 2, 3, and 5 year old boys. they have absolutely never spent more then 30 mins away from us their entire lives. we have ZERO help, no one ever offers to baby sit, one of us is always home with them, so we have amazingly strong bonds with them. Im kinda of at a stand still with my lawyer because I still owe home some money for his retainer and actually havent even heard from him in about three months except to ask me to make a payment to him. no response to emails. he did say that i should really try to make sure everything stays out of court because once a case is filed then his fees start adding up and he knows we are on a limited income. the first month the boys we staying with my mom and dad (who are in their late 70s-early 80s) we were only allowed to visit for two hours a week, now we currently allowed to be there as much as we want- we just cant spend the night and always have to be within eyesight of either my mom or my dad. my middle son gets distraught every time we have to go home and cries frantically for hours, unable to be calmed, my oldest son has begun to act like he has lost all respect for our authority and just does what he wants, my 5 and 3 year old were potty trained and now have reverted back to wetting their pants or we catch them hiding in another room to pee on furniture or the carpet. no matter how much we try to correct the behavior they just continue to act out. my oldest wont start school for another year because of his birthday falling after the cutoff
