Hi. I'll try to keep this brief and to the point. I live in a very rural area surrounded by Amish farms. I personally live in a very nice mobile home in a small, but nice mobile home park. It is very nice except for one thing/person. The wife of the park supervisor has let his title go to her head and she goes around throwing her weight around making others miserable in a lot of little ways bragging that she can say/do anything that she wants because she's the park manager. That being said; for whatever reason, she has decided that she does not like me nor my children. Even though I have never said nor done anything to this woman for her to dislike me.
Since this past spring she has repeatedly called Children & Youth Services making false accusations of "leaving my children alone for hours while I went to a bar". I don't even drink! I would never leave my children alone for anything as they are too immature and irresponsible yet. They both are autistic. And they themselves would cry and have a fit if I even tried to leave them. I have been accused numerous times of "not supervising them and leaving them unattended." This translates to allowing the to go outside for short while; maybe 1/2 hour to an hour at a time to play After all, they do have to eventually learn to make decisions for themselves and if they're never given the opportunity to do so, how will they ever be able to do so?
Again, these have been for the most part, considered unfounded. Several neighbors that I am friendly with have told me how this woman came right out and told them that she has called and "reported" me and encouraged them to do so also. I was also accused once of being mean and that I beat them them. Again unfounded.
Finally the creme de le creme from this woman: I became behind in my lot rent due to a couple of large bills that I had to pay at the time, and as I live on a fixed income (SS disability), it is difficult to catch up again. I have one more payment in January and then I am caught up. In the meantime, this woman told CYS that I was being evicted ( 2 months ago, I'm not. The decision is not up to her- it's up to the owner of the park. Thank God, for if it was up to her, we probably would be evicted.). She also told the mortgage company for my mobile home the same thing which is untrue. Finally, to add insult to injury- she either told her daughter (who is 12 and an unbelievable brat) or else her daughter overheard. Either way, my personal business is not this child's business nor is it the business of the park as she (the child) goes about babbling it to anyone who will listen to her. My neighbor tells me that this child goes around saying that I haven't paid lot rent for 6 months- totally untrue. I have the cashed checks to prove it.
She's also going around telling everyone that supposedly the sheriff was looking for me that I have a warrant for arrest. Also untrue. As my neighbor says, her life must be incredibly empty, boring or something that she has focused on me and has started spreading all of these rumors. Right now I am focused on getting my children back and doing what I need to do to get them back- after which, I will concentrate suing this woman for slander and libel. And character assassination, For some reason she is jealous of me, so this is her way of getting back at me. A power trip for her.
Because of a lot of these complaints and untruths- the end result was that my sons were taken away from me. They are in the custody of CYS. My older son is at Devereaux, which is a residential school specifically for autistic children. My younger son is at the Children's Home of York in their Emergency Shelter section. Both of my sons are so lonely and at times bored and just want to come so badly.
Because of this woman's cold and selfish heart, my sons will suffer emotionally from this for the rest of their lives. My youngest son just got hurt today at the shelter. They had to take him to the hospital-he broke his left foot. If that had happened while he was at home with me- I would have been crucified for it for not having adequately supervised him (I am a single parent- no significant other either), but it happens there, and that's ok. Where is the justice?
My sons want so badly to be home- I want so badly to have them at home. That would be the best Christmas gift ever!
And now Christmas is just about here. My mother died the 23rd 4 years ago, and now I don't have my sons either. I don't know how I'm going to make it through this Christmas and New Year.
That was also why it was so important for me to have Molly even though it is probably in reality the worst time financially to have her. But emotionally, I feel having her is more than worth the money spent.
PLEASE forgive me that this is so long----but the other thing I need your prayers are for me. I am a diabetic and have had a diabetic ulcer on right plantar of my right foot for the past year that has not healed. Instead, it has gotten larger, leaks more blood and plasma than before, my foot is swelling now, the toenail of the right great toe keeps falling off after it no sooner grows in and finally, it (my foot) has begun to hurt. Something it didn't do before which has the doctor worried. I also have diabetic peripheral neuropathy in my feet, legs, hands and arms. Anyway, on Christmas Eve, I go to the hospital for an x-ray of the right foot as well as an injection of an isotope for a bone scan of the right foot to be done about 6 hours later. This is to rule out osteomyelitis. If it is osteo, I will have to have the forefront of my right foot amputated.
I have tried to prepare my sons about this- just in case.
As it stands right now, we have to wait until our court hearing on Mon., Dec. 29th at 1pm before CYS will allow the boys to start home visitation- with the goal of home reunification. I have to go through a few hoops before getting them back- I have to go to a pyschologist for counseling (with all of this going on, it's not such a bad thing), take a 6 week Domestic Violence class (who knows why? I'm not in any sort of relationship) and a Parenting Class. My lawyer told me I'd have these classes to take because they really don't have anything on me and that they need me to do something before giving the boys back to me.
I'm upset too, because the 29th is my youngest son's birthday- he turns 11 that day.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME that this has been so long- but I have had a lot of crap going on in my life to have to deal with. I also go to the hospital this evening at 8pm for a CPAP titration test. I'll leave Mon., Dec. 22 with a script for a CPAP and mask which will probably be delivered by the 23-24. Lovely Christmas present, eh? I'm looking forward to it, perhaps I'll at least be able to sleep well for the first time in years now.
Anyway, remember my sons and I for Christmas, the court hearing (I'm hoping that the judge will order home visitations to start- as Devereaux especially is pushing for it as it is part of their therapeutic treatment) and that home reunification will occur within 1-2 months, or sooner.
Finally, please remember me in your prayers that I don't have osteomyelitis and that antibiotics, debriding, topical creams and bandages will be enough for healing.
God Bless everyone for the Holidays and also for your prayers as I believe in the power of prayer.
