Makes you wonder what the reason for the motion was in the first place .
I doubt it was put because they are only 1/2 sibs.
There's more to it, that's why I said it's nasty and there's a lot of lying. Mom's been on the warpath since Dad hooked up with someone else. That's not unheard of. The daughter has told little lies here and there, knowing she can get her mom to react easily. Like the day she (12) and my grandson (9) walked .2 miles to their aunt's house from my DD's place, daylight. They were going to make cookies together. She told her mom that Dad abandoned her and she had to walk to her aunt's house because she didn't know where to go. She's told her mom before that her dad doesn't feed her. Little things like that to get her way about something (she's a big eater and tends to be lazy) and then Mom runs with it and DD's moved on like it never happened and doesn't understand why she can't spend the night at her dad's. Well, because you said that your dad abandoned you and left you to walk to your aunt's house because you didn't know what to do. :::whacky::: Mom does not want the DD at my DD's house at all because both of these women despise each other for their own reasons. For that mom, it is too much for her to see her DD having a "normal" family life with her dad, too, so there's lot of moving parts and I'm not looking for advice on the whole thing because I'm not even going to pretend to know all the facts.
