Custody Court

Well I have been officially dragged into custody court by my mother in law. And to think that grandparent rights do not even exist where I live. I find the whole think very unsettling as I have never shut the door on her contacting us, but was told by her other son that she wanted nothing to do with us, didn't care if we froze or starved... Basically she needed to focus on her son. And so I respected her wishes and never contacted her. Now I am being asked to have her visit my child. A child who doesn't even know her since she hasn't been around or in contact for over a year. And at the same time I am suppose to ignore how this child feels because she is smart and put things that are true together in a way that makes her grandmother seem like the world's biggest criminal. And yet I wonder... Would I have let her see her if it didn't involve the court? And now we will never know... because today was a day where my mother in law stated that she wanted to have pictures for him... And that goes against the PFA. And that would ultimately hurt my child and not protect her in the way I should. And I need to protect my child... It is my job to make sure she is respected and treated like a human being... Not a pawn in this divorce that we have both been thrown into.
