As I stated, I did write some things in more detail than others. Right now, I have awesome relationships with my three girls. I am trying to work on my university education and I sit on a Board of Directors (currently in the President position) so I am definitely not the "nut job" he makes me out to be. Even if I had some form of depression or something, it would not make me a bad person or mother. But I had the Psych evaluation done for the last time we were in court. I have some anxiety which is pretty damned good considering seven years ago, I had panic disorder and was in therapy for PTSD (due to the abuse I went through).
I am not supposed to talk to my son. Carl's orders. My court order from August of 2008 states that I (the Respondent) am to have full custody of the minor child. It also states that the Applicant (jackassface) may have access to the minor child on the recommendations of the Children's Aid Society. Oh, but the CAS didn't want to address this. Instead, this is what happened on August 31st, 2010:
I went to the university to get all of my financial stuff done. I came home at 3:10 pm and my daughter, Haley said, "Mom! A lady from CAS was here and she will be back in the morning." I asked what the lady's name was and she said, "Oh, it was Linda something." I called CAS immediately and asked why a Linda was at my home. I was asked my name and when I told the receptionist my name she transferred me right away. I got ahold of Linda, who was abrupt and said she had just received a call in regards to my children in the past 24 hours and if I could not meet with her that day then it had to be the next morning and if not, she would come with a police escort. WHAT? I asked her what was so urgent. Being a social service worker, I know that if a CAS worker is responding to allegations within 24 hours that means the allegations were severe. The same thing with an unannounced call to the home. Not common.
The next morning, she showed up and Janelle was not home. She was at orientation for high school. Linda was not impressed. Haley was home and Caitlynn was visiting before work. She wouldn't talk to them really but they both told her how abusive Carl was. Linda said, "But that was in the past. Not only that, but you two are not children so it is not really relevant."
She asked me what my occupation was. She asked where Daniel was and I told her he had moved out but she refused to believe me because "Carl said he lives here". She asked about me hitting my kids and both girls said I have never hit them. She asked about my "drug use" and I said I don't use drugs or even drink. She insisted this was not true. She asked about my "severe mental illness" so many times. It was horrible. I had to show Linda every room of the house and she kept asking where Caitlynn's room was. I told her Caitlynn lives with her boyfriend and she kept saying, "But that's not what I was told." Grrrr.
She had to come back to see Janelle that afternoon. When she did, one of her first questions was, "How often do your mom and Daniel hit you?" Janelle was shocked. She immediately said, "NEVER!"
