This is Maggie May…
I just want to say how grateful I am; to all of you that aid and help guide, research, teach, and help support us on this journey. It has been truly a blessing. Thank you for the truth and a new direction.
I’ve been in family court for almost 10 years and had no idea what to do. Once, I could not even fathom the existence of those private/public arenas. I honestly still have a hard time believing it, but then one bit of research led to another, and now I see things differently. Findings of actual forms… I’m flabbergasted and overwhelmed. I almost gave up or worse, so many times; but I made a promise to my children I would never stop fighting. So many times, I didn’t even know what I was fighting for. Just to prove myself innocent of those heinous accusations and I have been living in fear of further punishment or further retaliation to my children for “telling” or reporting, events that they would later (after being alienated from me for a length of time) retract or say they lied about.
However, my children often make statements to me and others; but when questioned or asked to elaborate, my children shut down almost immediately to this day. I thought I was doing everything right, or to the best of my ability (but was hampered with unrealistic expectations). I had a lawyer, until recently, that I “trusted”. I begged my children to please forgive me of my past ignorance. I am so sorry. My ignorance is no excuse for the things that they are going and have gone through. I’m so thankful that they haven’t completely given up on me (if they have not, how could I?). I’m so thankful God hasn’t forsaken us, and I have little glimmerings of hope where I thought there was none. I'm still trying to find my way. I have ADHD so I do struggle processing/forming thoughts/actions more than I’d like to admit, but I’m learning to accept that it is not a bad thing. I know this is long-winded, but please forgive me. I just wanted to express my gratitude. Thank you.
I discharged credit card for major company. Just got a presentment from them that is a stack about one inch thick that includes every statement for several years since first getting the card.
Wow.
