[QUOTE="2tired, post: 187959, member: 491"] I'm not offended, at all, and I appreciate all viewpoints. After reading the last two posts, I just boo hooed. Been a while since I have let me emotions out. I've been keeping everything in, and honestly, it feels better to keep them in. Now I have a headache. I completely understand, but I'm tired of fighting everyone, and defending innocence. The truth of the matter is my daughter and I continually would get into it about different things, and of course my son would be around all of this. I would be so upset, he would be upset, and he truly suffered. At times, I would lose my temper and scream at him for things he would/wouldn't do. Of course this was after blowing up at her. I guess he was fed up with all the tension here and had written letters to me that he wanted to live with his dad and would do whatever he had to to make it happen. Well, he did. He told the school that he wanted to kill me or himself - so DFACS was brought in. I went to court, and the judge paid zero attention to me. I had a court appointed attorney that did absolutely nothing on my behalf - and I couldn't afford an attorney on my own. So my son was placed with his dad.
