For the 2nd time since Dr.Phil has been on the telly I disagree with some of the things he said and also I disagree with wot the lot of ye are saying as well and if ye want to have a go at me then bloody well bring it on cuz I'm one mick who can hold her own...
!8 yrs ago they did not have the resources that they have today to find a missing loved one,I know this from personal experience,first I tried to find my brother and sister back in 1986 and they were finally located in 2000,then again I tried to find another sibling and that took me another 10 yrs and surprisingly I found her through www.zaba-search.com....now for my own children,I lost custody of my 3 youngest due to the ICWA which I have mentioned on this board before because I am a white parent and they are 1/2 Native American Indian,when I left the rez in 1993 I made darn sure I kept in contact with my kids until their dad hooked up with another white woman,it was her and his side of the family that kept me from speaking with my kids and one day I decided they all could go to hades cuz no matter wot I was going to stay in their lives via post or phone and when I called there the phone had been disconnected so I called his mum,I asked my ex-mother in-law and where my kids were,she would not tell me and I was beside meself wondering where on earth they had gone to,I tried to rally support from my so-called friends on the rez and they too would tell me nothing,2 yrs went by without a single call or anything to or from my kids because I did not know where they were,even the tribal police said I had no rights to them and to let it go,yeah right...well the 3rd year I finally got ahold of his older sister and thankgoodness she told me where they were which was Anchorage,Ak,my family help pool money together to get me a airline ticket and 2 wks later I was knocking on their door,my ex mother in-law answered and the look on her face was a kodak moment for me,anyway to finish this story up I finally got to see my children and I did the best I could to explain why I had not been around to them,and I was even kind enough not to slag their father to them but then he made bloody sure that he poisoned them again't me with lies and then he sent them back to the rez,it was another few yrs before i was in contact again,today my son is 20,21 next month and he still loves me but my youngest son who is 17 will not call or anything,my daughter hates me and has made that very clear on her myspace page,so as far as Cressie not trying hard enough to find Darby well tis ye opinions and Dr.Phils,and if Darby is that bitter and hateful then I bet ye anything all those feelings came from her dads family poisening her agains't her mum,been there and now I have made the choice to stay out of my daughters life for good,so ye people who are bashing Cressie well then try being in her shoes,she may not have shown much emotion when asked certain questions or even had a response to wot Darby said about her but then I was the same way and still am but that does not mean she didn't try hard enough to find her daughter.
Tis my cuppance!
