Michele, I am so sorry! That is just awful! That woman is so selfish for putting her child and all of you through that! Prayers to you and your family
Thank you.
My sister is a complete mess. My cousin does not see what she has done at all. Completely & utterly clueless.
That is awful. Now she can claim him for the year 2009, becuase I beleive she had him for the majority of the year, (or at least some of the year?) but she won't be able to for 2010 unless she takes him back into her home full time by June. It doesn't matter what legalities are in place. If the child is not in the home with her for more than 6 months of the year...meaning at least 7 months, she can't claim him anyways. You could report her if she does. So you could threaten that I guess. Or could you guys just pay her the amount she would get to get her to sign it? It might be worht handing out that money to her just to get rid of her. She sounds like pure skum. Why should she feel entitled to any of that refund anyways? I'm sure she does though.
Yes, she can claim him since she had him for 9 months in 2009; but for 2010, no, if he lives with my sister. So, therefore, she wanted him back to claim the refund/exemption/child tax credit for 2010.
I did think of paying her off, just to keep CJ with my sister. But, I don't think that would be a good idea. Like any blackmailer, she would just want more.
She doesn't see what the problem is. At all. It's amazing this tihng is part of my family. I already stopped talkign with her when CJ came to my sister and we realized how much he has to learn. Now, with this, I have no intention of considering her par tof my family.
My family is very small, & losing anyone is a tremendous blow, but she is not worth having at all. There is and never was anything positive about knowing her, but I need because of her kids, my uncle and general principles. Now, I just can't.
My sister is completely miserable and has not stopped crying since Friday afternoon. I think she got herself back together last night since she has to go into wrk today and life goes on. she was very depressed and it was like CJ has died.
CJ did tremendously well. I am so proud of him. He did break my heart the night before. He didn't want to go to sleep. I asked why and he replied that if he doesn't go to sleep, tomorrow will not come and he wouldn't have to go back home. We explained the best we could without trying to put his mother in a very bad light. It was difficult, believe me.
I actually have full confidence, he will be coming back. My cousin cannot handle him, doesn't want to handle him and now has to run around to get him back into school. If he even went to school today. Half the reaon, he came to my sister, was that authorities we getting a bit too close. I would imagine, we will get another phone call. This time, it wil be with custody papers in hand.
Thank you for letting me rant & rave. This post is super long and I'll try not to fill this TR up with bad thoughts.
I will get back to my TR with my 5:05pm AD at Garden Grill in Epcot for the Candlelight Processional!
And those are some really cool pics, hopefully it'll be open next trip!
) I don't even pay attention to my accuracy, I just go for the higher points. I keep forgetting to look up and read about the ways to get higher points, so I've been stuck at around the same points the last 2 trips, though I did hit a new high this trip.
My kids would love the fact that it spinned around! I can not wait to hear about your Candlelight Processional experience! We are planning a trip in December (12-17th are our dates as of right now). How did you find the crowds? Also, love your 
the Candlelight Processional but you're right it is something you need to experience because words can't really do it justice? So how did Andy Garcia look? I always thought he was so handsome when he was younger
