I have read so many questions and answers where people state all sorts of stereotypical garbage regarding the homeless.
Despite what people may think, the homeless in our country are not all lazy, drug and alcohol addicted people. In fact, single mothers and children make up the majority of the homeless.
So, if this applies to you, put that in your self rightous pipe and smoke it!
One night I’m was riding past the house were my daughter lived and noticed that there were alot of people there . It was around 12 am. I called when i got to a buddies house, I called and ask what the hell was going on and wheres my baby, why is there so many people up there so late and she hung up on me. So i called back with no answer. then she finally answered and we talked for about an hour. Then after calling her by my new girlfriends name by accident, she hung up on me. I tried Back a couple of times and gave up.My buddy Tommy told me he would be a witness for me if anything happened,but i never even got the chance to call him from jail. The next morning I got a call from the police, witch she had been on the phone with the police officer lying like a rug. I told them the truth about what happened and all they said was I was being charge with harassment by communication . I was on probation at the time for some misdemeanor things. My probation officer herd about the incident and put me in jail. So when I finally get to court . I plead no contest, bad decision at the time because I was going to do time anyway for the violation. She had no proof or phone records, of coarse to prove her case. Then the judge told me if i ever was to go around her again i was doing serious jail time .There was never any mention about use having a child together. I had no one on my side while she had her dad and sister sitting and grinning when i walked into the court room. I felt so worthless and depressed when i finally got out I continued feeding my depression, self medicating If you will.I tried calling anybody and everywhere, but no one could give me any answers or help. This was about the time I tried committing suicide. I swallowed about 30 trazadone sleeping pills followed by a fifth of vodka. Well the x was not worried she got married 2 years after we broke up and they came into some money some how and ask the courts for an adoption. They got it because they said I signed my rights away. I DID NOT!!!!! I was never notified, never mailed any thing. They cannot say either they knew not my whereabouts because adult probation found me and always I had current addresses for them, from 1989 to 2002. She also knew this. because her sister and mother would always call him, my probation officer, and try getting me thrown in jail. Threw all this I am trying to battle depression, anxiety,alcoholism,the loss of my daughter. I was a mess. No one would help me not even my parents.About 2 years later When I was twenty nine years old my parental rights were taken from me with out my knowledge. by a vengeful X pulling some shifty crap. I have tried everything in my power to seek help looking every were asking everybody, but with out thousands of dollars for a lawyer no one will help me. If I were a women this would not be an issue. I’m sure I would find help right away. I have told my story to just about everybody I know and they all agree I got screwed. Can someone out there give me some advice or some kind of resource or somebody i can contact for help. Please help if you can but this is a very serious issue I will never give up on.Over the next 11 yrs I just about gave up.The only thing that kept me from laying across the railroad tracks was the determination to right this wrong.
Presently I have taken steps to Improve my live and change it for the better. I don’t drink, smoke, do drugs, I have recently been diagnosed with P.T.S.D also a social anxiety. I see a therapist once a week and follow my doctors treatment regiment to the letter. I know in my heart i will see her one day again and hold my baby girl
and why? Do they realize 18-20 year olds are officially adults under the law? Should that bracket of adults be treated like like criminals and not citizens? Have they ever thought about that? If anyone drives drunk or commits crimes from alcohol, its always bad whether your 18, 21, 55, or 100. Shouldnt it be made illegal for them too since lots of them also to the same thing? Maybe the fatalities of drunk driving will go down.
Do you think its fair for a few idiots to ruin it for everyone including the responsible ones?
I think they’ve become far more neoprohibitionist over the years.’”
MADD has become “overzealous”
she also said ‘I thought the emphasis on .08 laws was not where the emphasis should have been placed’
What kind of a person do you think she is?
Brian the brain, you’re saying nobody has the right to criticize MADD? Not even their FOUNDER? Thatt’s who she is
about the # of national or regional MADD officers/directors who’ve been arrested for drunk driving vs. the # of national or regional MADD officers/directors who’ve lost a loved one or been injured as a result of drunk driving? If you have such information, please direct me to the appropriate source. Thanks.
Why do they call itself mother against drunk driving as if ONLY mothers are against it only guys drive drunk and think its ok? Why should only mothers be against drunk driving? And instead of only focusing on drunk driving, they started attacking the drinking age even though 18-20 year olds are ADULTS under the law. They dont mind those 18 year olds being old enough to have equal responsibilities and consequences as legal adults but not the same rights. If that was the case, why dont they make alcohol illegal for ALL adults since thousands of people well over 21 also drive drunk, binge drink, and committed crimes while drunk putting others at risk. Whats the big deal why a 19 year old adult cant have a beer in his own home? They are also fighting against stores that sell cold beer because they think all people buying it will drink it immediatly afterward so they want the beer warm forcing them to drink it at home where they can cool it later. Why do they want to punish everyone including responsible people? Now everyone has the suffer for this BS!.
Isnt EVERYONE against drunk driving and not just mothers?
I am 14, live in the UK and my parents have been divorced for over 7 years now due to my fathers alcoholism, cheating and abusive behavior. Me and my 3 siblings live with my mother as she has full custody of us and the house is under her name and my dad is not our legal gaurdian.
For some reason, my mum still lets him come back to visit us at weekends. I find this rather strange after everything he has done to our family and he is still extremely violent, threatening and abusive. I really do not enjoy him being here as he had made a number of threats towards me, telling me how he is going to put me in hospital.
Well my question is, is there any possible way that I can put some kind of restraining order against him, or something that will stop him from seeing us?
I’ve talked to my mum about it, but she says she dosen’t want to get involved and it’s not her problem. And i don’t want to be taken away, as my dad dosen’t even live with us, he just comes back at weekends.
My sister has been a drug addict for years, but has never admitted a problem [or gone to rehab]. Now that she has been let back in the house swearing she is clean and using her pregnancy as a “for the baby” reason,, not only is it obvious by her personality that she is still using, I found drug paraphernalia; needles, aluminum foil, a pipe [a tube that people use to sniff cocaine], weed, and other items. My parents are blind to this and never wanted to know that she did drugs beyond weed but I showed my mother because there is an innocent life on the line [she is about 2 months pregnant]. What are the legal actions, in the state of Nevada, that can be taken to stop her from harming the fetus?
BTW my mom hasn’t talked to her about it yet because she wants to discuss the issue with my dad first.. honestly, though, they probably won’t get much done because they still haven’t admitted there is a real issue.
Thanks in advance :) Normally I avoid family issues and stay out of it because getting to med school is my top priority, but I don’t believe that it is morally OK to know this is going on and try to do nothing about it
i will be bringing her to a courthouse so she can file a restraing order against my brother, he is always waking her up in the early hours begging for money and cigs, he’s broken the back door once, he is an alcoholic and addict that bugs her and leaves before the cops arrive, what will we need to bring with us, and is this the best route to go?
It would save a lot of money, and police manpower wouldnt be tied up
If they charged a small toll, it would be self-funding
My friend’s mother insisted they were going to protest at her daughter’s funeral. The daughter drove drunk and now the cousins want to take action to make sure people do not make the choice to drive drunk. However, they’re not sure if they should get involved with M.A.D.D. activities because of the “rumor.” Help?
I recently found my husband cheating which left me very distressed to the point where I couldnt keep food down and barely slept. My mother came in and offered to take her off my hands for a break, I agreed figuring the break would help and my husband was supposed to be home in the morning and we would sort things out, since him being away made it much worse.
Anyway, I wanted to bring my daughter back downstairs(she lives one floor up) since my daughter doesnt sleep there with all the commotion and the smoking, I didnt want her there I had enough on my plate. My mother kept refusing to let me talk to her or see her, she has an abusive boyfriend that used to be a drug addict and alcoholic. She kept saying “it’s for the better you dont see her right now”. I started to panic thinking something happened to her so when she hung up on me when I threatened to call the cops she said “okay” and hung up. I ran upstairs and heard her crying so I broke down the door when they wouldnt let me in. When I got in her boyfriend tried hiding her from me when I noticed welfare was tehre (who was trying to take my daughter saying I gave her medication to go to sleep faster.)I slid past my mothers boyfriend and told the welfare workers about how my mother told me he had done crack, he pushed past me bruising my shoulder, pulling a few muscles in my back. I realised where they were getting all of their alligations and why my mother kept saying we needed them. I kicked my sister out as she had known and lied saying I beat my daughter and my husband was beating us both. But if that was the case why would she be so happy and playful and love us both so much. Anyway, we agreed, since I had a nervous breakdown with all the stress. Welfare had come over tonight, they wanted to watch us parent, while still during the meeting my sister and brother showed up at the door swearing demanding her tv and stuff, I said it could wait since we were still in the meeting and would take it to her later. They said they were calling the cops, insulted me and left. I guess I just wanted to know if I could get a restraining order against them, since my sister and mother are diagnosed bypolar possibly schizophrenic, her boyfriend is very violent when drunk and my brother keeps coming to the door harassing us. With the stress of them doing this I can feel myself getting more and more scared that I’m going to have a nervous breakdown cause it feels so bad that no matter what I’ll do I’ll always be going through this and I really dont need another breakdown.
Any help would be nice, I read that you needed proof, I can get a doctor to tell about the damage, but my mother is the type that I’ve taken care of since I was 10, and has stolen money and items from me and pawned them. I just dont want them stressing me out, I said I didnt want them coming anywhere near me my husband or daughter, but if they keep it up I DONT want a fight.
My children’s grandmother is a nut job. She called dfcs on me when I was 8 months pregnant with my daughter because she cant have her way the case was dismissed and I just seen her today and she said she was going to call them again. I attempt to slap her after that which I am not sorry about. Me and her son are not together anymore he doesn’t want anything to do with his kids but his crazy mother wont leave me alone. She calls me and my family and friends phones all day sends emails and text messages, she always in her kids business her two sons don’t talk to her anymore. She has 5 grandchildren 2 which came from me and she is unable to see any of them because all the kids mothers hate her. I am really trying not to whoop her ass but its hard I cant talk to her son about it because he’s too busy running from the law with his new crazy girlfriend. His mother will never be able to see my kids she smokes weed all day and lives with a man who is 29 and just got out of rehab for a crack addition mind you shes almost 50 years old so this doesn’t make sense. I hate that lady with a passion. Any advice?
Unfortunately, my 9 year old daughter’s mother is a heroine addict and was ordered by the judge on Dec 31st not to leave the County of San Diego without written permission from me. On January 6th I came home from work and she left a letter stating that she left with my child. she took everything. I have exhausted every possibility. For example, I showed up at the court house on Friday at 6:45am, I waited over 9 hours, at 4pm the ‘extremely rude’ lady peeked her head out and said they will not be seeing anybody else and to not come back until Wed. because they are very busy. I have called the police, the DA’s office. I can not get past the Red Tape, can somebody please get my daughter back. I am losing faith in our justice system. I am about to lose my job because of the toll this is taking, and I am just plain fed up!
