From the begining......2001.... part 1

I met "Father" his wife had just left him and taken "Cinderella" away. (So I knew from the begining that he would come with baggage, just didnt know how it would change my life many years later.

"Father" and I (Lady Tremaine) moved in together, and started our relationship. Things were good, did not here from the "Evil Wife", untill "Father" recieved a phonecall that "Evil Wife" was taking "Cinderella" and moving half way across the US. I had to pick up the pieces of what remained of "Father".

We did not here from "Evil Wife", we searched for her but everytime we got close she moved, keeping "Cinderella" from "Father"

Over the next couple years we searched, mainly wanting to know that "Cinderella" was ok, and "Father" desperatly needed the divorce papers signed. If we were going to continue our voyage together.

Finally one day in 2005 "Father" recieved a birthday card from "Cinderella" with a returned address. From that point, every holiday we sent gifts, not only to "Cinderella" but to her other siblings, that we knew where there.(not fathered by "Father") (we found out later that "Evil Wife" was telling kids the gifts were from her)

2006 we were allowed to see "Cinderella" for a supervised visit by the grandparents (whom we will call the "Evils")
"Evils" realized that we meant no harm and just wanted time with "Cinderella" that visit we were able to have her spend two nights with us. (We had so much fun) I was 8 months pregnant with "Anastasia" at this time"

2007 "Father" flew out to pick up "Cinderella" we got to have her for 1 week.

2008 "Father" flew out to pick up "Cinderella" we got to have her for a 2 weeks.

Sept of 2008 after "Father" filed for divorce. He recieved a phone call from "Evil Wife" saying in short, its your turn to raise "Cinderella" i cant handle her anymore. ("Cinderella" was 9 at this time) So it was arranged that the following summer after "Cinderella" finished summer school, "Father" would go get her and she would live with us for a year.

Right after divorce was final. "Father" and I got married.

July 2009 We learned from some friends who lived near "Evil ex wife" that she had not been caring for any of her childern. "Cinderella" and her siblings had been cared for by this couple. We were told horror stories of what the kids went through. We already made up our minds that once we got "Cinderella" in to our custody we would not let her go back.
