Legal action

Quote From: mussymel

Well you guys have been busy today! Loads of new posts. This is kind of adictive isn't it?!! Ok:

Labelfree I am 31(32 next month) but I definitely don't think 40 is old (he he)! I'm glad you think it is the new 20s coz I can't even party now like my twenties so if it gets better again I'm looking forward to it ;). Its funny the more I am on this site the more American I'm sounding! We would never say party in that context!!

 

MJ I don't know how you didn't slug (another americanism!) your 'mother' when she turned up like that. That woman does not deserve you or your children in her life. I know I am stuggling to make a decision about my mother but if what she did was that blantantly wrong I wouldn't hesitate to tell her where to go. Well done for not killing her. Momisme I think you are very brave to have your parents come stay under those circumstances. But it sounds like you are definitely strong enough to tell them to take a hike if the need arises. I asked my hubby yesterday if we could move to Australia and he asked why so I said coz it is the furthest place I could think of from my mother!

 

Momisme you have mentioned this Mikas(?) story before. Unfortunately DrP is on in the daytime here so I only got to watch it when I was off sick from work. Also we are way behind the States so the shows don't go with what is on the board. I find it hard to believe that he would go easy on a guy who is an admited child abuser? But I also agree that far too much is in the offender's favour and not the victim's. Have any of you taken legal action against your abusers?

 

While I'm on the subject of us being so far behind the States what was the outcome of those 2 kids that were taken by their father and then not found? I saw the interview with the mom and the dad's friend and then the followup where it showed that the friend was lying. Did they find the kids?

 

 

I took legal action but its such the long story and im having to run right now.  I will fill you in on it later.  Long story short, it didnt turn out well in the legal arena.  However, it was a very good and positive experience for me even though it ended badly in the courts.  One would think admissions of wrong doing would be enough to get some sort of legal satisfication, no?    Welcome to our justice system!  *raised eyebrows*

 

Hope you all have a good day!
