Hi Everyone,
Once again let me thank you for being here for me when I feel I need the hearts of others lifting my requests to Jesus.
My daughter has a child Serenity who will be one on 11/30/2006. My daughter will be 18 on 12/1/2006. The father is taking us to court for paternity and visitation. He is older. He is accussing us of making up lies to keep him from seeing Serenity, which is not what we want to do. Last Feb 2006 we wanted to take him to court for paternity and visitation because he was calling 3-4 times a night and arguing with my daughter. (we had recently moved to another city and she told him she didn't want to be his girlfriend anymore) I found out later that she had tried to break up with him before but he would threaten to kill himself and kept calling her so she would give in. We thought taking him to court would give him a sense of security because he would have scheduled rights to see the baby. Instead he reacted with threats to hurt himself, amanda and Serenity, so we got a restraining order. He hasn't seen Serenity in 6mos. We want him to recieve supervised visitation rights so we know Serenity will be safe with him and so that he can have the time to deal with his own problems of parental abuse that happened to him while he was growing up. I believe if the judge will order him to go for some one on one counseling that he will be a better father to Serenity and happier with his own life. He has a history of violence and doesn't accept responsibility for what he does, It's always someone doing something to him. I'm trying to do the right thing, but I'm not always sure what that is. Please pray that he judge will be able to discern the truth and see the need for supervised visitation for Curt and order him to get the counseling he needs before he hurts himself or someone else. We go to court for the initial paternity hearing 11/30/2006.

Father God, You know this situation and the parties involved. Lord, I pray for all truth to be revealed and for this grandchild to be protected. Father, be Serenity's Advocate in the courtroom, protecting her........because truly it is about the needs of this child being met and recogonized. So, I pray for fairness and truth to be revealed and for the best interest of the child to be honored. Protect this baby. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen

My word to you would be 'document'.
Write down every single contact he makes and what is said and what he threatens.
If you have a complete and established journal it really will help.
Each of you write in it and use diffenent pens in the same notebook.
Accurate dates and times will help prove its authenticity.
They can check phone records.
Keep hard copies of any mail or email.
It will help anyone you show it to see the problems more clearly.
Without that it is your word against his.
Hasn't your daughter's age come into question?
He could have been dealt with for sex with a minor, consenting or not.
Hook up with your women's shelter program, and they can help you with the legal work. Prevention is part of their plan...
Above all, be safe. Make sure that you help Amanda not take any chances with her safety or Serenity's.
I hope many young girls will read this and think twice before they have sex with crazy people.
She is now hooked to him for life through her child.
There are SO MANY families exactly where you are. This is a national problem of enormous proportions.
God be with you...
