My mother inlaw has had a obsession with one of our daughters (age 13 now) She has never respected me as a mother or wife to her son. She has spoiled and alienated my daughter against me. Because of her constant disregard to our wishes/rules with regards to the children we started limiting the time she spent with the girls...when this happened she started making false accusations against us. CAS has never found our home to be unsafe or unfit for our children and also agreed that grandma needed to spend less time with them. She took my daughter and lied about having her on two occasions where I had to have to police to confirm my daughter was there and retrieve her...false accusations were always made so CAS advised until they could investigate that my daughter go to a safe home...we sent her to my husbands brother's house. My daughter would call after a few days begging to come home. CAS has never found that the children were at risk in our care or could confirm that we were alcoholics as she claimed. Grandma would pull this stuff when she knew that my husband had been drinking. Can she win temporary custody and access rights to our children because of her accusations? My husbands brother and his wife have witnessed the lies and obsession with my daughter and agree that grandma is mentally unfit. Grandma went to all of my daughter's friends houses crying to them about how we abuse and neglect our children and are alcoholics, some of the parents have acutually had to slam the door in her face and now they don't want their children hanging around my daughter. She also told my daughter that she would kill herself if she couldn't see her. My daughter has come around and agrees that grandma is obsessed and has told her lies about me and my family to try to alienate her from me. Any advise? What do we need to do to prove that she is unhealthy for the kids to be around?
