Shortbus,
You don?t think your misrepresenting my situation? And you don?t think it?s necessary to scroll through all my posts before making such assumptions? You?re fairly intelligent, I?m sure you can figure out how to use the Search WWF function and specify your search criteria so you don?t have to read ?all? of them.. If/When you find my story, posted numerous times, you can practice what you preach to your captives- take responsibility and apologize. You are way out of line.
I did read your response to Notafriendofredcliff, so I know you are aware that programs can and do take children without both parents consent and deny parents rights who aren?t footing the bill or going along with the program. Also, that it?s not a matter of ?letting? the other parent place a child. In all the cases I?m aware of the child was placed without the other parents knowledge or consent. Yeh, three times in my situation. Once there, the other parent is faced with taking legal action to have their child removed and/or defend their rights. You might have asked before you assumed. Very program of you. Until you read my story, you?d be wise to stick to what you KNOW, lest you further damage your already questionable reputation here.
And just as you?ve erroneously assumed about that situation, you have taken a trip down the only neural pathway you possess to assume why my mother didn?t tell her story before my son was incarcerated. Your last comment, ?Thats like standing by and watching someone get the shit kicked out of them and you not saying anything because you dont want anyone to know the same thing happened to you?
indicates to me that you didn?t comprehend my response. Neither of us knew before. When I described what was happening (after the third placement- which wasn?t ?military?), then and only then, did she feel like I would understand what had happen to her. It's not something you discuss with your kids over breakfast. Oh by the way honey, let me tell you about the time your grandfather sent me away to religious holy-rollers to have the shit beat out of me... for no 'good' reason. My kids paid no price for my ?mother?s silence? you ignorant, presumptuous bitch. And ?meek? doesn?t describe either of us.
