I'm so worried about Devan and I don't know what I can do to help her. It's driving me crazy!

I wish I could fix it for her, but I can't.

She had a fight with her 'boyfriend' and in a fit of temper...she took a bottle of pills. (I don't know what she thought that would accomplish.) Then, she realized what a stupid thing that was to do, so she went to the hospital. She's fine, and because she came to the hospital voluntarily and wasn't actually trying to commit suicide...(and her sister works in the ER)...they didn't commit her. But I kinda wish they had done the whole 72 hour observation period. Then she would have had some time away from her 'friends' and maybe she would actually make a decision for herself.

*sighs* I love her, but she makes some bad decisions!!

Anyway, the fight was because Branson said he was kicking her and Abby out. He thought she'd spent the past weekend with his friend Chad. (She wasn't with Chad this past weekend. She was working the race!) And that night he said he was going to sign over his rights to Abby and cut all ties to them.

Of course for the past 2 days Devan and Branson have been sending each other progessively meaner messages through their friends. Now, he's decided that he's taking Abby and she'll never see her daughter again. He only wants to do this to hurt her! If he actually got custody of Abby, he'd sign his rights over to his mom. (His mom has tried to get him to do this in the past.)

Today he called her and told her that if Abby wasn't at daycare for him to pick up, it was on. She asked if he would bring her back. He informed her that he didn't have to reassure her, he had a lawyer.

That sounds like a threat to me!

So, naturally, she didn't take Abby to daycare and the last time I talked to her she was at a lawyer's office. But this is getting very ugly, very fast.

I don't want Devan to lose Abby! I adore Abby! She's such a sweet kid and deserves to have both her parents in her life. If only Branson would quit being such a shit, so they could work out an agreement.

I wish Branson would cease to exist. I don't like it when people hurt or threaten people I love.
