updating on what's going on in my world

Hello everyone ! Im happy that god allowed me to here with my family & you guys . My mom had her return Dr's visit with her foot & ankle Dr yesterday take her dressing off her left foot , to see how her 3rd toe was healing after having to partly taken off due to an infection she has suffered . I'm happy to report that my mom's toe looks good, it still has a pretty big scab on it but it's looking much better . The Dr took off the dressing, cleaned her foot , removed the dead skin & then put lotion on her foot & put a clean dressing on - then told her to come back in a week .

In other news , I got a voice mail left on my cell phone from my previous public defender , letting me know that there is going to be a case review tomorrow morning @ 9:30 to see the progress that William has made, the progress the case is making , ect ect . Of course I told him right off the bat that Im not happy with the way DSS has treated me , the way they continue to treat me, that I don't know where my son is at , nor do I know who he is with - I also stated that I need to know if the Psy eval is still on the table along with the parenting classes & domestic violence classes . I told him that I deserve my fair chance to prove that I am mentally stable to have supervised visiation with my son . I also told him that I was very upset with the fact that I had to find out in a report written by DSS that William was repeatedly beaten with a belt when he was in Leslie & Amber's custdy . I told him that I wasn't going to give William up for adoption or sign my rights away so that away DSS can cutt me out of William's life all together . Finally I told him that I'm tried of being miss nice nice, I'm fed up with it- now it's time to get mean .

It time to get tough ; not mean

These are two different things; and I think finally you found your voice. If your son has problems they are all due to the beatings Leslie gave him; and if possible abuse charges on the behalf of your son should be filed. No one should be abused ; and the most vulnerable children need to be protected. Don't feel guilty because if you knew it wouldn't have happened. Get fighting mad and I am happy to hear that you stood up to this Lawyer. Good luck at DSS ; and God speed. (Judi)

time to get tough / not mean

Well I'll be honest with you Judi , it's not right to cutt a mother out of her son's life just because she is ADD , there you think she is mentally unstable to have a relationship with her son . Now as far filing abuse charges on Leslie in William's behalf , unfoturnately there is no evidence such as a picture to show that she had beaten him with a belt enough to bring brueses ect , the only thing they have is William's statement that he gave to his case worker . Oh how I wish there was some sort of evidence but I don't - All I have is the fact that DSS hasn't complied with their part of deal & given me the opertunity to prove that I am mentally stable to have a relationship wth my child , even tho the child will never be back in my custdy . All I can do is fight with everything I got , to challange the system & hope that I will be able to address the judge eventually & finally speak my mind & my heart & as well as speak from a mother who loves her son with everything she's got & just wants what is best for him .
