Quote From: gwarrior6Well, i think that there are other judges that can hear the case and decide whether or not she signed the documents under duress and coercion. If she filed a civil suit, that's different from a custody suit. I didn't hear anyone mention a custody suit at all.
We can't assume that she DID file a custody suit either. Maybe all she filed is a civil suit, but that's for $$ compensation, not for physical custody. We can't assume she exhausted all facets of legally obtaining her children. What I think happened is that she didn't KNOW HOW to go about the process and was so physically depleted from the HG and other related illness that she might NOT have even listened to their high priced advice.
How is it obvious that she "has spent a ton of money on the process"? I must have missed that part. Unless you mean the civil suit and adoption process in and of itself. Even then, you can find a cheaper attorney over the one that advertises on billboards. Price doesn't always determine quality, either.
Being unstable would fit into her ordeal. Having Hg (as well as other possible PPD and PTSD), lack of support, and stress of the situation would definitely render one not to be able to make major decisions at that point. I think she needs to get treatment and resume getting her kids back.
Hi gwarrior6
I know we hold very different fews on what happened to Allison: I see coercion, you see something different. Okay, fair enough.
But I really don't see how you can believe her lawsuit could be about money and wanting money when it's been stated in the media that she's spent mega-bucks (someone help me with the news story linking the amount) to regain custody of her kids. That's not someone looking for financial compensation.
And you last statement about treatment and getting her kids back is right on; we totally agree with that. Can I go so far as to say the treatment should have been immediate when 911 was involved, and it was clear something unacceptable was going on at the attornies office. I mean, who calls 911? And did she really get locked in for 11 hours? Is that what she said? That's insane and torture, imo. Geneva Convention stuff.
And I do wonder at the use of the word unstable. Being called unstable is usually in reference to a long term personality pattern, not being sick. Allison was at Lockheed, right, for two decades...that's pretty stable, in my opinion. Who else would love to see Allison's medical information and really know what was going on in her body? (None of my business of course, but I just wonder knowing my own HG history) If her electrolytes were messed up, that's very different from being unstable long term.
