HOMELESS (Part Two)
My son was 13 years old, when he came home from visiting his father, and ask me this question. "Mom this time I visited him, he told me it was all right to leave the bathroom door open, because you no longer were around, what do you think? I answered, "What did you do son?" He said, "I walked over to door and I closed it and locked it tight!" By now I'd believe anything about this Monster of a man, and so I continued to question my son; however it wasn't until we were seated together on the couch reading a book, that suddenly he burst into full grown tears. I had learned never to react negatively to him. He had a very sensitive heart, and if I did, he might never confide in me again. I sat silently and let him sob. He then told me how his father, the one person in his world that was suppose to protect from this hideous crime, had himself, sexually molested him! I took him in my arms, never letting him see the anger that flared up in my throat!!! My soul was on fire, all I could think of was, "Where can I get a gun?" After he calmed his broken heart, we sat and talked until it was dark. He fell into bed that night, completely exhausted. How long had he held that very scary story in his mind and heart? I was completely ignorant as to what to do next.
Early the next morning I contact the best psychologist I could find for teenagers, and made an appointment!
In the after math of all of this, my son refused to see his father ever again. I would take him to his apartment, and let him out. He would turn toward the driver's side of the car, and say, "Mom, if you leave me here alone, I'm going back to the highway and hitch-hike home!"
I'd bring him back home. Then the day he was suppose to be there at the given time, and did not show up, there was a loud, solid knock at our front door. I opened it to find three black police cars surrounding our corner lot. The policeman that had knocked was the biggest black man I've ever seen in my life. He must have weighed close to 300 lbs, and was very tall. He asked me directly, "Is your son here?" My son was standing behind me , and came around from the left saying, "I'm here, officer, what is it you want?" The policeman informed us both that he was there to pick my son up, because he had not shown up for his visitation. He said to my son, "Do you want to go and visit your Dad?" My son said emphatically No!" The officer said, "That's all I wanted to know." Turned around and started down the steps toward his car. We watched as they all pulled away, and the fourth car was his father, coward that he is, he had been hiding behind the other house on the corner, thinking his son would be intimidated by the policeman and come with him right away! He sped out in anger as he passed our house his premeditated cunning had not worked!
My son was examined by the Dr. of Social Services choice. There was no evidence of sexual molestation, so the record said that my former husband was let off the hook. I was mortified when they questioned us and I insisted my son was telling the truth, that there are many different kinds of molestation besides the actual penetration. Not one single person, the Dr., nor the two social workers would believe my son and I. I was to face my former husband in court again, as he wanted the judge to know that his son was being kept from visiting him by me! I also was forced to see a Physiatrist of their choice. I must have shocked this poor lady out of her bloomers, because when she asked me what I thought of my former husband, I told her, without leaving out a truthful word. "He is a child molester, and if I get the chance, for doing that to my son, I'm going to kill him!" She couldn't write fast enough to take this testimony from me, and when it came back, it was said of me,
1. She is emotionally unstable
2. It is possible she herself is keeping the boy from visiting his father.
3. I would recommend that custody be turned over to the father!
However; I knew that my former husband would never accept that. He had wanted me to get an abortion when I became pregnant in the first place. He wasn't going to take custody of his son. He simply didn't want the responsibility, so I never budged from my position!
When the report came back from the evaluation of my husband, and what he thought of me, My heart laughed deep inside. I had been right, he didn't want him. He told the Dr. I was a very good woman, and mother, and that he thought it best I keep the boy! With this report, and my son by my side, we faced the same incompetent judge, and I was charged with "Brain-washing" my son, and not allowing him to see his father." My attorney was so intimidated by the judge, she actually had to ask each time if she could approach a witness or do anything away from her chair. My stomach was curdling by the minute, I could see my case sliding down the isle of the courtroom, tumbling down the three flights of steps to the outside parking lot!
(The continuation is centered around the judge putting me in jail!)

wow, Mom ur tuff!
This is so sad but I can't stop reading it either, only because I know things are different now.
I've had some very ***** men in my life but my three were always with me. My kids father knew they would be raised right. Course I didn'tget finatual help from him either but we still stayed together thru it all. I've never been homless "cause Dad was always here and could come home with my kids any time. I've been really blessed. Now I have of 7 acres to myself and my bro across the yard has the other half.
U know when one reflecks on their past it's amazing the things we get thru.
Awesome story, Mom.
luv, huggs, smiles,
yo brat

I have to confess that I am aghast at reading this. ould never believe it could really happen to you and this being a true story. Horrible.
TAt the very end the commenter from the Holocaust Museum echoed he words we used to sing as slogan during the genocide in Bosnia:
"THOU SHALT NOT STAND IDLY BY WHILE YOUR BROTHER IS BEING SLAUGHTERED.l
(LEVITICUS).
lOVE AND PEACE TO YOU AND YOUR SON CONNIE

I get so very angry knowing you and Montie had to live through this with no help from anyone anywhere. Thank God, you did live through it. In my lifetime I have worked with so many people who have survived and many that haven't. Justice can be such an evil off-balance thing in certain areas. Love and blessing, Connie.

yes, the story makes me so damned mad, and yes I know how people are......and how courts are.....but the press now that is a power to be..
best thing about this story is that it is being told, and that folks are reading it, and the best part for me.....I know the ending, that you and your son are happy and love each other much. You see my sweet friend, I have walked that path too, and my son has been with me for years, how a parent can harm a child is beyond me. Some do need to be in a very dark spot for a very long, long time.
God bless you and your son.

You have so many comments already...mine may or may not make a differance to you. But......I can say that I understand somewhat of what happened to you and your son. I am not a mother.....but I have been a victim of molestion......similar to your sons case and no one thought to believe me either. I was put into CPS and like you......the Judge,caseworkers and psychiatrists turned everything I said around to be either mine or my mothers fault. They just don't get it that when you say what you say....it is the honest truth. I would have said the same thing you said about killing your husband if that happened to my child. Any mother or person would. The system likes to turn everything around. The system isn't necesarilly correct. Praise to you for fighting and keeping your head up. Don't let them bring you down. Fight for what you believe and KNOW is right. I am only 16......but have been through so much and already hit "Rock Bottom" with drugs and being homeless. All I can say is that I'll pray for you and your son.......never give up hope even in your deepest and darkest times of despair. Alwyas know that GOD is near.
ALINA
p.s. my poem " Father Dearest Disease " is raw....but may give you some insight to as what occured to your son.
All my love, hope and best of wishes and health to you and your family. |

Good for you.....................You should never ever, do anything that your kids do not wanna do. I do know what all that means........i did come from a broken house, and now......i am glad i stayed with my mom, but never understood some of the things she did. I guess because she loved us. She is better off now.......and i will cherish all I can , and when i have kids I;ll do the same. |
