My life today is a complete 180 compared to where I was at that time.  I recall sleeping on a mattress on the floor of my new apartment, surrounded  by boxes and thinking, “I haven’t done anything wrong and here I am, all alone, sleeping on the floor.”  I was grateful I had been pulled from death and safe but in the process, everything had been taken from me.

Never in a million years did I think myself and my children would be thrust into the injustices of Family Court, such as it exists today.  I am actively campaigning for an attorney to unseat  a corrupt incumbent judge who meted out the decision to give my ex domicile custody, leaving me and my children at the mercy of their father’s cluster fuck.  In the process, I find myself fighting for justice for all abused children and their mothers.  I am awe struck and humbled by the opportunity.

In part, I have the assholes to thank for this.  You know, it is important to thank the assholes. Without them I, and those who fight the good fight with me, would not have the chance to liberate a myriad of lives.

Today I live with a beautiful man in our lovely home in the country where I am loved and appreciated everyday.  There is peace here.  I have seized my life and the Universe has returned everything that was removed and given me even more.  The only thing missing is my children.  In time, they will be in my life.

I have met so many wonderful people, a number of them are my friends.  The support we share is a tangible connection.  Step by step and day by day, I have built a wonderful life.
