Well, I talked to my court appointed lawyer on Friday after finally getting his attention by a long detailed text message. I told him that I am willing to sign custody of William over to the Wikes providing that Jeremy is no longer involved - that there isn't any point in him taking the assessments if he's going to be involved - I also told him that as long was Leslie was to have no contact and no visitation then I have no problem in William staying with the Wikes permanently. I went on to tell him that I very much value William's happiness and as long as the Wikes are giving William what he needs mentally, emotionally and spiritually - then the last thing I want is for him to go in foster care and be bounced around like a basket ball from one foster family to another - that the most important thing is that William is stable. I told my lawyer that I have no problem taking the assessments, providing that once the assessments are completed that we find away to work out with the Wikes where I get some sort of supervised visitation once William's theripist O.K.s it. I hate the fact that Jeremy is still being judged based on his past record, I think it's incredibly unfair , but yet they only know one side to jeremy, they don't know the other side to him, the side of him that I know but hey, that's their loss. Jeremy and I have talked about it and all we care about is the fact that William is happy and stable where he's @ , and is able to access to all the opportunities that life has to offer. I told my lawyer that I will sign over custody for right now and then in a yr we'll review things and see how William is doing and then we'll go from there. Now apparently there is a DSS team meeting this Friday the 15th of Aug @ 11am , where I'll be getting a new social worker - Oh please lord let me get a female social worker this time , please lord let this one advocate for me in general and advocate for me as a parent. I pray to god that I am able to come out of the DSS building with some sort of peace about this whole situation - I don't want to go through another 4 hr court trial - The last thing I want is to drag my precious little William through more emotional court battles - I just want this all settled to where I can rebuild a relationship with my son which is the most important thing in all of this for his sake and for my sake.
