What a wonderful blog <3 I am c...Oh my goodness! What a wonderful blog <3 I am currently writing a research paper for my Comp II class in college and came across the No Way Out But One website. My topic is A Child's Voice in Family Court. This is very close to my heart, as I had an abusive father who had physical custody of us.<br /><br /> Unfortunately, our mother fled without us to Alaska from Missouri. And although we had some contact with her, it was very infrequent. I think, as a woman, having a loving mother is essential. Eventually she got to see us every summer. However, this contact was not enough, she didn't fight as hard as your mother.<br /><br />I did have a wonderful stepmother who I still talk with to this day (she had 2 children with my abusive father). They are divorced now. Thank the Lord.<br /><br />I just want to say that I will definitely be putting your story in my research paper <3 Maybe I can even send you the final draft as well!<br /><br />Anyway, I just want to tell your mother that she is the strongest, most courageous mother I have ever seen! I wish I had been given a second chance and that my mother had protected me like that. I am 20 now and still coping with the emotional scars. I am growing more confident EVERY DAY :)<br /><br />As for the kids. You are so blessed to have a mother who would die for you, and who gave everything up to protect you <3 You all have a place in my heart now. <br /><br />I have an older woman friend who has 2 kids and is going through the same thing I lived through. Her case manager is not good, she barely sees her kids, and has been labeled as emotionally unstable even though she is a normal, loving mother. It is nice to see that I, and so many others, aren't the only ones who have had to deal with the messed up court system. <br /><br />I wish you all the best and I hope you get this documentary to as many people as possible!! I highly recommend you make the YouTube video public, i'm sure you'd get many positive responses!<br /><br />Again, I admire each and every one of you for your spirit and heart.<br /><br />Love, <br /><br />B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
