Chapter 14 - Sarah’s counterattack
Sarah retained an attorney.
Not to sue for millions.
To ask about grandparent visitation.
She had seen Tyler and Olivia weekly before the incident.
Family dinners.
School pickup occasionally.
Overnight visits twice.
She believed that history gave her rights.
Her lawyer apparently explained that grandparent visitation laws are limited, fact-specific, and heavily affected by intact-parent decisions and safety concerns.
Michael and I were married.
Unified by then.
No one had removed her without explanation.
She had struck a toddler.
Sarah never filed.
Instead she sent letters through counsel asking for mediation.
We agreed eventually.

Not because we owed immediate reconciliation.
Because structure was safer than hallway arguments.
