Court did not go as well as hopped. As a matter of fact it was horribable. The judge or should I say refferre had her mind made up before any of us got in there. My parents never had a shot, just as I dont. This state is going to keep my kids in their custody until they turn 18. Since my oldest daughter refused to be adopeted that means I do retain my parental rights.

Well we went into the court room. Everyone sat down and my father started speaking. He just stated that he could care for my daughter better then the state. My attorney who is a joke, told them I had no problem with this. Then all hell broke loose. The guardin at lidem stood up. She was irate, obknoxious, inconsiterate and just down right hateful. She said that I was no better off then white trash. She went on about the back child support that I get from before this case started. She said that I get child support and dont even turn one penny of it over to them. Well, why should I? It is money that I am owed from many years of not getting it. They get all the current support, I just get what ever overage is paid. She even tried to tell the acting judge that I have not paid any child support at all, yet I have proof that I have. Between my 3 children they rake in well over $1000.00 a month. That witch went on to say that it is nice of me to agree to my parents having my child but she wanted to know what my hidden agenda was. That if it did not do something for me then I would not have said ok. Can't I just want my daughter out of that group home? I just want what is best for her at this time.

These people don't even have the facts straight. They said that My daughter said she did not want family counsling, that she felt betrayed, they said she has a lot of serious issues and needs extensive councling, and that she has been on medication for the past 3 yrs, to help her deal with all this. Let me tell you about my daughter. She has not been on meds for a long time. She does want the councling, and she is dealing with what happened to her better them most do. She just wants to get on with her life. She might be only 16 but she is very smart. She said that she just wants to get on with her life. That she cant change what happened to her, but she does not have to live in the past. I feel the same way. Yes I made some mistakes, and yes I returned to the home with my ex when I was told that if I did not come back to Dothan I would loose my kids. I had no where else to go. DHR would not help me even though they said they would, My parents at the time were no help either, and I was not going to live on the street. But how do these people know anything about me? They have never talked to me or anything.

Well it is time for the battle of my life. And they are about to see just how much of a Bitch that I can be.
