Yes, actually they were dropped.. No show, petition dropped. Just like that. I will not allow anyone to judge me. I will not sit here and defend myself to a bunch of people that I do not know. Especially because you're not seeing the whole picture. I am obviously done here. I am an amazing mother. Everything I do is for my child. If the courts want to allow his father to continue to harass, control, and abuse me and my son... Then there is something wrong with our system. I told myself I would not get emotional over this post. But its apparent that this forum is filled with men and only think about "fathers right". Forget the fact that he's abuse/controlled us for 7 years, forget about the fact that being somewhere else would greatly improve my childs life (lets just let him grow up in an area that more people than not are abusing heroin), let him grow up in a place where his education and services to help him have a functional life as an autistic child are compromised, because his father has the "right" to basically make us live this way. Not to mention, make me give up MY right to give my child the best life possible, make me give up MY right to start a long lasting healthy family... Why? But yeah, thank you all... I'm done here.
