Yeah.
Yeah.
You get to pick and choose? Now, she had been unaware of the divorce. Right. Because he did it without her knowing. Right. And she didn't know that he had filed for custody. Yeah. So she didn't contest anything because she didn't know it had happened. Right. And the court awarded full custody of the children to Grady. Are you fucking kidding me? Which is so fucked up. Yeah, it is.

Grady took the girls back to Florida with him. Wow. Which just breaks my fucking heart. Because I truly believe if these girls had been allowed to live with Teresa and Glenn, they would have had a totally different childhood. Absolutely. They could have started healing from things. They were young enough to hopefully forget some things. But instead, they get even more traumatized. Oh, no.

So Grady takes the girls back to Florida with him, but only long enough to sell the house they lived in and get rid of all his wife's belongings. Yes. Oh, that's normal. Kathy later said, Catherine, said he gave all of mom's whatnots, lamps, and all of her stuff to his sister. He would not let her come back to get her clothes, which included a fur coat and some evening dresses.

He gave away all of her clothes. That's so fucked up. Yeah. That's abusive in its own way.

You know? Oh, he's just an asshole. With Teresa out of the picture, Grady began seeing a woman named Barbara who quickly moved herself and her daughter in with the Stiles' family full time. Catherine said later, she wanted to put herself in my mom's place. She wanted to be our mother. She tried to force herself onto us. But she wasn't trying to be like a mother.

She was, because Teresa was known by her children. They all agree. She was a loving, caring, kind mother. Yeah. Like a mama. She was a mama. Barbara only seemed interested in playing the role to the extent that it got her closer to Grady. So she's that stepmother. She's Meredith Blake-ing it. Yeah.

Rather than actually do any parenting, most of the responsibility for raising the children, including Barbara's daughter, Susie, fell to Donna since Debra had decided to move out of the house after the divorce. Oh.

Now, after moving the family back to Pittsburgh to be near his parents, Grady's drunken, violent behavior continued without interruption, including the period where Barbara was pregnant with their child. In 1976, Barbara gave birth to a boy, the couple named Grady III, who was born with the same condition as his father and his half-sister at this point.

In the meantime, Teresa kept living with Glenn Newman, who turned out to be a pretty good husband and a good provider. In 1974, she gave birth to a boy, Harry Glenn Jr., known as Glennie, everybody. They were obviously very happy to have a new little baby boy, but she had a profound sense of pain and loss of having lost her children to give Grady because he was refusing to let her see them.
