To make a very long story short. I will start by saying I'm now in my 30's no kids and live alone for many years. At the age of 15 my mother gave me up in family court. Didn't want anything to do with me. My dad (which was still with her since I have two younger siblings) raised me separately. All alone w no mother in my life and my dad coming in and out just to check one me had always been threatened by her if he'd do anything for me besides supporting me with rood over my head and some food. I lived alone for most of my teens. As they had smaller children to attend to. I never reconciled w my mother. She never reached out or showed up for family counciling. Now over two decades later she gets me served w papers and I now have 17 allegations against me. From stalking to sexual assault. Grand Larsen and even strangulation. I haven't seen or spoken to this woman in so long. And before anyone says that I must have done something as a teen to make this woman hate me is wrong. We recently found out that she has made comments of how she felt that my relationship w my dad was "strange" and that now that she works in a school w many fathers participating in their daughters lives that she has come to understand my and my fathers relationship was "normal." I love and am so close to my dad that I had to tell him what really had happened. And why she stopped loving me. But tell me ladies, if you have a hint of an idea that your husband is behaving in anyway ill would you throw your kid out with no proof of anything bad ever happening. And staying w the man and letting him raise the two smaller siblings till they where both over 18. I know have a court date to solve these ridiculous allegations. Who else has had a family issue like this. And am I supposed to be lawyered up? Or is free legal aid enough. It's 17 allegations that I have faith no judge would believe. I'm also taking my father and younger brother w me to my court date. I feel harassed and sad. Any words of advice please. 🙁
