A little background on the situation. My best friend of twelve years had a little girl about two years ago & for a Christmas gift her and her husband made me the god mother. I’m very close with my god daughter, I babysit her quite often. I attend all her doctor’s appointments, she has Cystic Fibrosis. I do not drink, smoke, do drugs, i’ve never had a speeding ticket or been in a car accident. For a long time I was more educted in her medicine than her own father. Her father is an alcoholic who had a suspended license and left his family every weekend to party, drink and go to strip clubs. I routinely took care of my god daughter when my best friend (her mother) and her husband (her father) were separated. At which time my best friend would would go out with other men while I took care of her daughter. She did not directly ask me to do this but I did not want my god daughter around strange men so I offered to babysit. Many times this was late at night. My best friend’s mother in law threw various objects at her son while he was holding my god daughter. When my god daughter was ill and only 8 mos old they left her in the hospital for days at a time without any visitors “because they had to work” when her father works in the same city as the hospital is located
My question is why am I not allowed to take my god daughter to the park or anywhere for that matter? I feel bad that she has to sit in the house all day. My best friend’s husband acts as if i’m an irresponsible person who is not to be trusted. I have not brought this up with my best friend because I don’t want to start friction in our relationship.
I was told by her mother that she did not go there for days and because I was not a parent I was not allowed to visit. H1N1 was too much of a worry for the hospital last December.
