A nurse no criminal history and I got my husband off my son and ran to the neighbors by waving a gun to clear a path. He took the gun no one shot. Told by the police not to bother them when I called for help before. Psych evals, prior calls for help, emergency d.v. court eval, not admitted. Neighbors, roommates, character witnesses not allowed. I am a convicted double striker as if I were some gang banger. 13 judges passed me around between the different court systems. I have survived my husband, prison, homelessness …but will my baby survive without me? I was able to get job and help about 50 others get jobs this last year. I cannot get off probation until I am divorced and I cannot leave to a safer county until I am off probation. If I am out of the area I will feel safe enough fight for my son. I have job and I have helped approx 50 others get jobs. I can pay in small amounts a trustworthy lawyer to stand up to Orange County. Do you know one I can trust? My husband has our son, house, cars, boat, retirement and his nursing license.
I would like to learn more and see how our organization can help make a difference in the lives of these women and for women everywhere. I am a survivor of rape, gang rape and 13 years of domestic violence, as a Christian. I began an organization (Pneuma Life Foundation for the Prevention of Abusive Family Environments) to educate faith-based organizations and create advocacy. Please contact me. I can be reached at (216) 253-3228 or by email.
