    I was treated unfairly in the DC custody battle. It causesd made a lot of stress anxiety and unbearable pain and causesd me to start drinking heavy to master my pain. I almost lost my mind due to this ordeal.... I would like to tell more about my story if you can reach out to me here. 312.2002347

    God has helped me through my trials and my past pain I am free from anxiety and stress, because of the love and the grace of God without him I would not have made it, but the fact that I had to go through it. It cost me a great deal of unbearable pain the unfairness the unjust, it was like didn't matter. All I wanted was a fair chance. I'm sure there's many more mothers out there that have dealt with the same scenario with the department of children and family services DCFS They are failing our children their not getting them the help that they need.As far as a counselor so they won't have resentment and pain as they grow up. Sad to say, a lot of our children are being abused in the state custody of DCFS there's nothing being done about it... These people need to be held responsible for what they have done you have violated a child who was trusted in your care.

To all fathers, father figures, and moms who fill both roles - Happy Father's Day!

Roots of Betrayal: Split Ends & Broken Bonds... REBORN

By

My core remains unshaken.  My roots – though visibly split – still hold powerful strength within. In certain presence, my instinct remains unchanged: To connect, to touch, to embrace – a primal bond unbroken. This isn't vulnerability – it's proof of my evolved nature. My foundation grows stronger, more resilient every day. What splits on the surface only reveals a deeper root.
