Is my daughter back. So, turns out, Bella wasn't just turning into a teenage brat. She was BEING turned...at least that's my current theory. I went to pick her up this afternoon, waiting for the bus for 20 minutes. Finally, I went to her door, thinking maybe I had somehow missed the bus. I knocked, but nobody answered. I got back in the car, and started texting her and her dad. No answer. Emma had had a play date, and her friend's mom was waiting to meet us around the corner, so I texted Bella that I had to drop the friend off, but that I'd be back in a couple of minutes. I dropped the friend off, and started back to Bella's dad's house. By this time, I had FINALLY gotten a text back from her dad. He was telling me to give up and go home. Um, no. Not without my daughter. I texted him as much. He texted back to just go ahead and go home. I about lost my mind. I texted him back that he'd better send her out if he didn't want to go to court. He basically said to go ahead. Fine. 15 freaking days before Christmas, he had to pull this. No possible way I'll get in front of a judge in that time. Meanwhile, I had to explain to Emma that while it's unlikely we'll see Bella tomorrow (we were supposed to have her this weekend), we're going to try anyway. Same for Christmas break. Argh!!!! I'm so mad, I could scream! I don't know if I should be relieved that it likely wasn't really Bella saying those things to me on Tuesday, or more worried. My gut says to be more worried. What is she going through, or being threatened with that made her say that? Or worse, has her pulling away from me lately been him brainwashing her somehow? Whatever the reason, we all need prayers, but especially for Bella. As soon as I realized that they WEREN'T EVEN HOME, I texted Bella one last time. I told her that I don't know what is going on over there, but I want her to know that I love her, and I will NEVER stop trying to talk to her and see her.
