Hi please bear with me as this will be long, to the people that know me & the people that may not. Being a mother is the first single handedly most important thing to me. My daughter’s biological father and I separated when she was barely one year old. Our relationship was volatile. In every aspect. And in no way am I here to play victim. Yet even while in the relationship I was absolutely manipulated by multiple parties not just her father that they’d do everything in their power to take Amelia away if I left her father. So I stayed until I couldn’t stay any longer. And they have held to their word by making my life an absolute war zone ever since. I was served two weeks ago, April 11th. Pages upon pages of absolute lies. The first time we went to court it was the same, yet I was in a better place then to handle it accordingly. This time they have come out the gate hot. All because I disagreed to taking my daughter to a vacation in the south in June because she has albinism type one and I was thinking of her health and well being first. All because I said no, which is my parental right they are now trying to take all my rights away. Because living in a fantasy world for them is more important than my daughters wellbeing. (Looking at the bigger picture) Certain parties have slandered my name as far as they possibly could to get an emergency hearing in May. Stating my daughter isn’t safe in my care. That I’m too anxious, too “su!cidal”, too “unstable” to be a good mom. And while this looks absolutely horrible on me(which was they’re goal), it’s simply. not. true. The people that know me personally know my daughter is my entire life. My entire heart. And my entire reason for being. That has never wavered. Never faltered. Not once.
So now I have 3 weeks to retain a good lawyer to combat enormous allegations.
This is the last time I will be dealing with this. The first time I did my best to do the right thing, to be the bigger person, to put her father and I’s past issues on the back burner because I know how it felt to be a kid without one of my biological parents. I did what I could to maintain some kind of normality despite dealing with someone on a completely different page. It is much easier said than done to play parent of the year, say you want these responsibilities, when I myself have been doing them by myself for 5 years now. I’ve tried my best to better for her. I’m not at all perfect. I have messed up. But I’ve never and would never be the wrong person in her life. It’s much easier to fight when you’ve got someone else’s money and time and effort to back you up and hold your hand constantly. I’ve spent 7 going on 8 years of my life, being gas lit, mentally, verbally and physically abused by certain parties. Yet I’ve always tried to turn around and fix it and make things better. I’m done doing that. I want my daughter to have the best, only the best people who want the best for her in her life. Someone willing to lie slander even spend money to try to take her away from me, has another thing coming. I’m done being a “victim”, I’m done getting walked on to try and salvage that relationship for my daughter. I’ve done everything for her without them, from medical, schooling, extracurricular, insurances, and nobody on this green earth could do it better than I can. Not at all am I complaining of my responsibilities, as it is my duty to her, yet dealing with a group of grown adult bullies doesn’t fit in that job description. It’s hard for me to ask for help, but for her I will absolutely bite my pride and do everything I can. By any means necessary I’m not the mother to walk away, give up, or let someone do that to her.
I know in this I’m sort of setting myself out. And I don’t care. Anyone that has anything negative to say or feel, live a day in my shoes and you couldn’t do it better.
For the people that have been by my side, watched me go through this for years, never faltered in their support. I see you and I appreciate you, and as Amelia grows older she will too.
im done with the abuse and it ends here ❤️
