Spoke with BCE earlier, to check in on the results of today’s court date. Alas, the news was…not good. Increasing the awfulness by orders of magnitude is that I got to meet the Gran, Adriana, when BCE and fam made a stopover here on the way to Tennessee. What a sweet, adorable little thing that young ‘un is. It did my crusty, desiccated old soul good to watch her running merrily from one end of the house to the other, a purloined TV remote clutched tightly in one hand, a practice Big Country said was SOP at Casa Expat. Too, too funny.
From what he told me, Tennessee’s court system is a total bag of dicks, just a fucked-up mess of a shit-circus. I can scarcely even believe some of the things that went on in that court today, so incredibly outlandish were they. The mind, it reels. “Miscarriage of justice” doesn’t even begin to meet the case.
My heart just breaks for my brother-from-another-mother Big Country, his wife Gretch, and poor little Adriana most of all. Hang in there, all of you, any way you can manage. I refuse to believe that this is the end of it; no God worthy of the title would allow it to be so, nor should He. I implore you good people: stay strong and keep the faith. There are more chapters to be written in this book yet. I love you all, and will be praying that we see a happier resolution soon.
Big country is gone dark
Wow. Starting the day heartbroken reading this.
Of all the trouble and injustice in the world, this sucks balls worse than anything esle.
The state is as capable of running family courts as poorly as they run everything else. No way to avoid the state when families are broken unfortunately.
It’s heartbreaking and the system is stacked against decency.
His last post last night was”We Lost”.
Hang in there Bro. It ain’t over till it’s over. The main thing is to take care of Gran#1, and yerselves, so gran#2 can be reunited with y’all at some point. Been through similar shytte meself with my grandson. The ‘Family Law’ court system is totally farked, and has been for as long as I can remember.
Hope yer reading Mr. Mikes bleg – just be aware that MANY folk out here are thinking good things for y’all, and there are many prayers up for y’all – ‘specially the grans.
Stay cool as possible,
Mike (yer almost neighbor)
