Frankly, DEnnis, The whole thing scares me. I think i have told the people of the list that i am having to face a barrage of psycho-neuro-metric/logical tests Call them what you want, the point is i am being tested to see if i am competent to take care of my children - this was court ordered and is an essential requirement before the judge can make a decision whether to give me back full custody of my daughter or not. Is this the beginning of a trend? ANd I know for a bitter fact that my expressionless face convinced the social workers and therapists involved with the case that i was not interested or caring enough to want my daughters back. i t took many months of persuasion and explanation to get them to understand that there is a thinking, feeling person behind that face. Not to mention the lies that have been perpetrated,, that the girls have come to believe - suchas " if mummy really wanted to do the housework herself, she could. Why i saw her carry some dishes to the sink yesterday." No understanding of on-offs. ANd when i got "stuck" halfway to the car on the snowy-icy path, they thought i was just scared, and couldnt understand that i couldnt make my feet move. Fortunately my son was there, and recognizing the situation, came outside, pneumonia and all, and helped me to get into my friend's car. . I guess that is irrelevant - but it does take us back to the law that allowed my children to be put in foster care in the fi rst place. During the time my children were away because of "my incompetence to care for them", i have done two television interviews been interviewed on radio been a member of a lobby that went to Richmond (the state legislative assembly) been to two PAN forums and lobbied senators and congressmen created and run the Porky Porkinson pennies for parkinson campaign Founded and run a support group for YOPD pwps in my area Taken on Social Security - and won - first time around plus more sundry "responsible" activities too trivial and numerous to remember does this sound like a woman who is unable to care for her own kids -- but what do we know - we are not the law!!!!!! And that is what scares me hilary blue (51/33/24) Dennis Greene wrote > The letter below is self explanatory.
