My older daughter (with 2 kids, 8(girl) and 11 (boy)

is having serious problems with her ex-husband, as he has kept the children from seeing their mother for 2+ weeks; she (and her attorney) have decided the only available next step is for her to obtain 100% custody, so i'm about to read a major document.

Terrible problems for the kids, I'm afraid. Granddaughter's 9th birthday is Oct 1.

Will follow up, but had to share; misery getting to my gut.
