Grandparents rights
1 Answers
Having just received a solicitor's letter requesting mediation or court proceedings instructed by my mother I need some advice as to my rights and how to respond.
I believe that my mother is suffering from mental illness. She has been ill for sometime in and out of hospital and from what I understand is suffering from acute pancreas condition. Previously I have had a good relationship with my mother and she has assisted with my daughter's upbringing. But over the last two years she has become very unpredictable and her relationship has broken down with her husband (my stepdad), he has now left the home due to her threats towards him. Her behaviour towards me has also became unbearable and she began leaving bizarre messages on my phone and writing letters that made little sense. The content is always about her and how ill she is. She has gone behind my back contacting an ex partner and my ex husband also asking for their help by either phone or letter. Saying that I am not doing a good job with my daughter. None of which is true, I worked hard over the last 7 years to bring up my daughter alone and secured a job in teaching and intend to move to Australia in the next two years with my new partner. This may be why she has turned this way? Irrational behaviour was why my I decided to break contact with her along with her telling me to make no contact with her. I feel that she is not of sound mind and have evidence of letters and recordings of her accusations and erratic behaviour and do not feel that is in the best interest that my daughter continues to see her, as does my ex husband. I have also spoken with her Dr and aired my concerns about her mental state as they are also concerned but nothing appears to have happened with regard to a mental team being assigned to her. My mother's family are also aware of her behaviour towards me. My daughter is 8yrs old.
