Verifiedcathy :
Hi and thanks for writing JA
cathy :
I am so sorry we missed one another in chat and I am happy to work with you on this. Have read your post but you dont post a question. Can you tell us what your question might be? I think I can guess but would prefer to hear this from you rather than guessing. Thanks so much for clarifying and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Warm regards, Cathy
Customer:
Hi Cathy, I went back and sent a long addition to what was told to u thru editing, but at the end of it was told that my edit could not be sent due to already recieving a response. As I am so tired now I will only tell u that I am looking for more resources. It might help u to know that I have what they call "an acute" bipolar illness and am on disability and thus can't afford a lawyer. Due to my illness an ugly fuzzy blanket has been thrown over this entire case and everyone is just resting in the idea that I'm nuts so that could cover the whole thing. The guardian we got recently had told me that she was giving me that I believe this in my mind to be true. But that was all she was giving me and she stressed that I above everyone it seems with how much she stressed my therapy over everyone else's- that I recieve therapy from a therapist she approves. I have been going about on a weekly basis as she suggested. I am seeing more clearly now that ppl. who seemed to be against me perhaps aren't really and just needed to set this blanket out in order to take every step to get to the truth. I had originally thought that their" truth" and mine were different because theirs seems like more "fun to believe" but now I am seeing things much more clearly and I think i just need to be pointed in the direction of ppl. who can help me in this process of getting my daughter safe. My parents wanted to go for grandparents rights but were told grand parents don't have any rights..I think there must be some advocate or agency that would fight to get my daughter into safe hands. I was told by all ppl.who are supposed to be helping to let this rest because he isn't harming her right now..please tell me as a mother-if it were ur child how easy you would rest? I have told Allison's father that i forgive him for this and that i think he can be a good father, but that was under the circumstances I was pretty much forced into. If I had my way he would only see her supervised because although i may have been able to forgive him I am not 100% sure that he will not do this again or worse to my daughter at any point here. Seriously what would you do? Also it is known that my mother has been abusive both mentally and physically to me in the past but she is much better now and I KNOW that my daughter would be safe with her and my father but I do not have that assurance with my daughter's father. Please as I'm sure u have been place yourself in my shoes and tell me where you would go and what you would do?
