https://www.gofundme/momofalltrades5When I started this blog I certainly never expected my 100th post to be so depressing and sad. I imagined my 100th post would have been about the fun adventures my family and I were having, but instead it is an update into our Saga, and a plea for help. If you have been following our journey through Hell you know my husband had court today. We had high hopes that there would be some turn around. However, that wasn't the case. I do not have the official papers from the court yet, but when I do I will be sure to post them. Today, my husband was ordered to pay the bio mom (who works and so does her husband and they have no other children to support), $170 a week. On top of that the only way he is to see his son is through a program called KidSafe. This program supervises visits in a dingy room that is uncomfortable for both child and parent. The initial visit is $360 and every visit there after is $70 per hour. This is the only way he is allowed to see his son until next month when we have an official trial. I am to be no where near my step-son. We still have no answers as to why this is happening, and we have no idea what is going to happen when we go to trial. I am still keeping the faith that something is going to turn around. There is no evidence of foul play on our part in any way, how they are getting away with this is baffling both our attorney and the guardian appointed to my step-son. The only explanation in my eyes is corruptness within our judicial system, which we already suspect is happening.
My poor husband left court today with a heavy heart and went back to work. He is a broken man. This is exactly what his mother and ex-wife wanted. They left him out to dry wet, and now he is just a shell. He feels like he has failed our family. With the new costs we are incurring, on top of the mountains of debt we are in with the lawyer to keep pursuing this case, and our monthly bills just to live and support all of our children we are in way over our heads. We have no idea how we are going to pay for him to see his son, plus that amount of money per week and still be able to afford our home. We are hoping that when we go to trial in June that we will no longer have any need for supervised visitation and the child support will be knocked down because the bio mom will hopefully no longer have sole custody. But until then, we are hopeless right now. I never thought I would get to the point where I am asking strangers for help. But I am begging for help. I do not want my husband to miss out on seeing his son because he won't be able to afford to keep our home and feed all the kids at the same time. I do not want my children to have to move again because of the evil woman doing this to us for no reason what so ever. I know everything happens for a reason, and I know God has a plan for us, but right now for a little while, we need some help.
I am praying that you can find it in your hearts to donate anything you can to us. And someday when we are back on our feet I promise that I will repay the debt we owe you in every way we can. We are desperate, and we desperately want to save our family and keep them shielded from any more hurt. I have been applying for some freelance writing jobs, but if anyone knows of anything out there I will gladly take anything I can get to earn a few bucks. We are not opposed to working for any donations. We are both hard workers and never thought we would be in the position to be as distressed as we are.
I want to thank you all who have been sending me well wishes and prayers. They mean so much to us, all of your kind words have been so uplifting when I have needed it most. I sincerely pray with all my heart that next month they will finally let us have our son back, but until then I want to thank you in advance for anything that you can help us out with. We appreciate all of the support and encouragement.
