The forms for the Office of the Children's Lawyer are 33 pages long. I am applying and hoping that they will take this case. The last time this horrible thing happened, we had the OCL involved. The lawyer was great. He/she listens to the child (meeting with the child more than once) and then the parents. They will also speak to my other children if I request. They can tell the lawyer what happened both this time and the previous times. I am struggling with this application form a little though, because of some of the questions. Considering that I am the parent applying for the OCL, I should know what school my son goes to but I have no idea. His father won't tell me.
I talked to a friend the other day about how I am going to go about seeing my son in the future. My lawyer asked his lawyer to suggest that he let me see my son and Carl said no. I was very distraught and crying. He told his lawyer I am "dangerous" because of my apparent "severe mental illness". It makes me wonder. What DID I do? What and who AM I? Ugh, I have to stop thinking that way! Anyway, my friend is a fellow Social Service Worker and Psych student who said, "He obviously has some issues with paranoia, resentment and some sort of mental illness". Maybe he does. I have always thought that he was mentally ill. He always scared the sh*t out of me. I don't know anymore. But I am tired. I am physically exhausted from all of this. And I still have journal articles, exams, papers, book reviews, etc to do as well as this application!
