wish to make my daughters 16th birthday a special as I can. I
don’t have a lot of resources. The reason this
is so important is because of the trauma she suffered while in the
care of my mother and step father the past 5 years. I voluntarily
left my girls with my parents to get some help. I had just lost my
job and on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I am a full time care
provider in the home for my terminally ill husband. We struggled
for appropriate housing for the whole family. Now that we have been
blessed with a place large enough I have had my oldest daughter
returned to me and am currently fighting for my other girl.
Physical abuse from my mom and the failure to protect my girl is
the reason her return was so fast. When she returned home to me,
there were more secrets that she revealed. They were those secrets
no parent ever wants to hear. She had been addicted to Oxycotin for
over a year and it was being administered by a close family member.
She had also been sexually abused by the father of my youngest
daughter. It happened in his home and my
parents’ home. I feel like the luckiest mom in
the world because my daughter trusted me enough to tell me her
secrets. I have reported it to the proper authorities, but it seems
as though they don't help us. I will be filing contempt on my
family in the mourning for the failure to follow court orders and
asking for the return of my youngest girl. The sad thing is all the
hurt and suffering my girl has endured they are not letting my
girls be together on her birthday the 27th. I have been the bigger
adult and invited the family to no success. I'm unable to provide
all the things for my girl’s special day seeing
as the only income are the disability from my spouse. I know there
are many other people who have less than we do, and this is not a
necessity. I know it won't erase the bad. It is my way to create
memories that will last a lifetime
