When I turn my car on the first couple of times I try to stop it acts like im locking my brakes up so the abs kicks in and I have trouble stopping and it sounds like its grinding. After a couple minutes the abs light kicks on and the brakes work normal with no abs. I just changed the brakes 3 months ago. Im not sure what is wrong with it could it be the brakes or the abs system itself?

If ABS light coming on than checking for codes should indicate to what is happening
It sounds like you may have a wheel speed sensor that is out. These videos will help us find the problem.
