  • I haven’t been able or allowed to see my Granddaughter (Storm❤️) in almost 2 months. It’s always hurtful to keep a child from family they love. Having her around would mean a lot considering what we’ve lost🙏🏽.. #GrandparentsRights is the LAW and I’m not playing. There are women that would appreciate anyone stepping up to give love/good life to a minor, fatherless child.

      So very sad to hear may God intervene on your behalf you have rights too I totally agree with you. Just mean and unreasonably for no reason using that precious child as a pond just shameful It is so sad that you have in act laws just to see your grandchild/ grandchildren. That's ridiculous you have to get the courts involved just to get a person to do the right thing If they would only put the shoe on the other foot they know that they would not want to be treated the same way that they are treating others smh it's tragic that the child / children have to suffer for the idiotic decisions made by selfish and uncooperative adults who totally disregards the needs of the child / children. As my grandmother used to say use your head for more than a hat rack lol now I actually knows what that means. So sad that the children have to bear these injustices because we too stubborn to do what's best in the interest of the child / children Just pitiful and sad I pray God intervenes on your behalf 🙏

    My ex-husband was my high school sweetheart and he became addicted to crack after my two children were born. I was advised by my mother to encourage them to always love him despite his actions and send them to his parents in the summer when they requested. I’m glad I did. They had an excellent relationship with the grands before they died but there father still hasn’t realized how special his children are but I still pray he will get it together one day. Please don’t give up and fight for your grand baby.

We were told that we had no rights but the judge ordered supervised visitation. Eventually that was taken away. I have not seen or talked to hom for almost 6 years. He is grown now and you would think he would contacypt us but no he has not. We were made out to be the bad people by his mother and her parents.

My son is a good father to his children. If the children mother call and ask for money outside of what my son gives her on a monthly basis she get it with no quarrels. Money for ballet classes, money for clothes, projects at school and the list goes on. I have prayed to God and left it in his hands.

    One of the problems we have as society is that some parents view children as property. As a entity that you can leverage for your own benefit. Parents become jealous of the love their child receives from others. I say this bc it’s been my experience. The best relationship in my life has been with my grandmother. The only person who has shown me UNCONDITIONAL love. My mom would try to manipulate her and say things like “if you want to see your grandchild pay me “X” dollars” or whatever it was that my mother wanted at the time. Brandon’s BM is playing a foul game, but when she is in a bind she may need to reach out to Mr. Smiley 🤷🏾‍♀️ Without knowing ANY of the facts, I’m just saying be careful biting the hand that feeds you. I’m praying that the family can come together and heal.

But I told my daughter when she was young and still now, "As long as your daddy is breathing air, you will see him, and you will respect him."

    So sorry to hear you are having to fight for your rights as a grandparent, especially so after losing Brandon. My grandparents were very active in raising and caring for me. I am forever grateful for the positive influences my grandmama blessed me with. Both of my children have died, the oldest in 2004 and the youngest 2020. I could not imagine life without my grandchildren and the joy of being with them. I praise God for my 3 awesome grandbaby momma's. I claim the victory for you and Storm in Jesus name, and thank the Lord because its already done. To God Be The Glory!!! Hallelujah!!!

This is new for all of you and no one knows how to navigate a loss until it happens. As a new mom the best thing you can do is give her time to figure this out and give her grace. They same grace you want and a parent that lost a child. Just let her know you’re there. Check in a couple of times. Yes I know it’s going to be hard to be away from your grand baby but her mother will come around. Continue to pray and God will do the rest. Also make sure you all are on the same page when it comes to the questions your grand baby will have regarding Brandon’s passing. Love you Uncle Rickey ❤

    Following the passing of my brother, our family experienced the same thing. It was a nightmare since we were used as bargaining chips rather than to keep the relationship going. For years, we sold it and used the money. Our relationship with the kids suffered as a result. We weren't treated like family, but more like a bank. That stung, but I wished we had been more steadfast, backed off, and just put money aside so the kids could grow up and discover for themselves. Instead, for more than 20 years, we succumb to her manipulation. Never do it! Don't do it!

    So hurtful and painful! My Son and I went through this 21 yrs ago! I cried many days and nights cause my grandchild was kept from us weeks and months at a time. GRANDPARENTS RIGHTS ABSOLUTELY EXIST! I know cause I fought for mine too! GOD BLESS YOU RICKEY! I KNOW YOU WILL CONTINUE FIGHTING FOR YOUR GRANDCHILD! Let me tell you ... I waited until my grandchild was 17 - 18 yrs old to TELL MY GRANDCHILD HOW WE FOUGHT HARD IN COURT FOR HER! I STILL have a binder of court papers for proof! AND I told my grandchild HOW I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON LAWYERS FIGHTING FOR MY SON'S RIGHTS AND MINE! Researched Family Law in bookstores, read books so I would know the law before ever attempting to fight in court! Just makes me sick to the stomach everytime I hear Dad stories like this! And I get triggered when I hear these stories or when I even THINK about how I was treated baby then and how my Son had to fight in court to TO SEE HIS FLESH AND BLOOD?! IT'S INSANELY HURTFUL! AND THE COURTS ARE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTHER NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF LYING DISRESPECTFUL PERSON SHE WAS EVEN WHEN SHE DIDN'T FOLLOW COURT ORDERS! They didn't put a warrant out for her cause she didn't show up in court? But it would have been easy for them to try locking up my Son if he didn't show up! Then it would take 3 mos or more to get another family court appt when the mother wouldn't show up 😢 yet in the meantime we didn't see that baby! Oh it's so sad!! Keep on fighting Rickey and start a movement for Father's rights and Grandparents rights. Perhaps do several interviews on your show with and re judges, lawyers, social workers, child psychologists ... teach the truth about father's, mother's and grandparent's rights! Let's hear from these people! Let's hear what the law says in YOUR CITY AND STATE! BE WELL RICKEY and be careful what you say online about your grandchild's mother cause she's bound to use some things against you in court. Love and hugs!

They try to hurt you especially when they know you love that child and think their putting you through a ringer. I stepped back and said nothing, prayed silently for 9 months. My grandson reached out to me crying and the mother saw how hurt he was. I commend you on what your doing and fighting for Brandon and keeping his memory alive and to make sure you take care of his child because your what she needs and Brandon knew that as well. You will be with her again in the Name of Jesus. No weapons formed against you shall prosper. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I had that experience,my son’s baby mama was made at him and told me that I would never see her child again, at that time the child was about 1-2 yrs old, when I seen that child again she was about 10-11 yrs old at a funeral and I didn’t even know who she was neither did she know me, that was about 17-18 yrs ago, I haven’t seen her since. I don’t worry because her mother made her miss out, I don’t even know where they live.
