Not much has happened in the past couple of months. I've decided not to appeal. My oldest daughter contacted one of our state senators to see if she could do anything. Had my hopes up, but they soon were dashed. I'm entitled to one 15 phone conversation per month, but each month I call at least 20-30 times just waiting for the time the aunt decides to allow me time with my kids. She will NOT let my two oldest talk or visit with my 2 youngest. Her standard answer, if and when she chooses to answer, is to tell them that she'll call them when she believes the time is right. She avoids answering any questions with an actual answer. Her standared comment used to be "whatever the court decides," the new answer is "not at this time." She has no idea the anger and hatred she has created for herself from her deceased biological children. Yet she and her parents seem clueless as to why my oldest children loathe their father's family. Just thought I'd share. Life goes on, such as it is.
God bless all.
