UPDATE FOR END OF JUNE/EARLY JULY 2004

I just wanted to update all of you on our newest news in this long ongoing saga. Let me thank you so much for your friendship and faithfulness in your prayers for Samantha and myself in this court battle of injustice. God is going to just bless your lives abundantly for your love and support of my family. God is really working hard for my family and answering our prayers. Thank you for standing with me fighting this spiritual warfare, we need more Christians like you.
As you recall Judge Radzibon issued that I must go to a Psychologist or Psychiatrist. Well, I did not know how I was going to afford to go. The Lord thankful provided for our food last month because of some of you who were so generous. Thank you so much for your love. My attorney told me back in May that they would find someone to re-evaluate Samantha and someone for me. Well, they dropped all of this on me at the beginning of June to do this myself. Just additional stress for myself but I called around and was forwarded to Community Mental Health of Northeast Michigan. They said their services were free and signed me up for an INTAKE on June 25, 2004. I met with Lesil there. She was a very nice lady, my age, which was so helpful.
She told me that she had tried to call me but I had already left. She was reading over the intake over the phone and said that they could not help me, that I did not fit their criteria for their INTAKE to be enrolled there. She asked me if I knew what they did there… I said no. She said that they only treat the seriously mentally ill that has serious mental issues. I told her that, the court says that is what I have. She asked who my Judge was and I told her. She kept repeating I’M SORRY, I’M SO SORRY… I explained what was going on in my court case and she said that she has heard 100’s of stories like mine. She told me that I do not have mental health problems.
I told her I was court ordered to go and she said that she would go ahead and have me take all the enrollment tests but she knew she would not find anything. She explained that because Jamie is such a good manipulator and that Presque Isle County system is so messed up that she is not surprised at how they are treating me. She said because I am writing letters to officials is the only thing that has kept me from losing all my parental rights. I told her how the Judge threatened me about writing to Officials, she told me to keep it up. I told her that I plan to send a packet to the FBI to see if there is anything that they can do to help this situation. I will include the letter that she wrote me.
She wrote me a letter and sent it to my Attorney stating that I have no mental illness and that I don’t even have depression so they can’t treat me because there is nothing to treat. I told her about he Munchausen’s, delusions, and borderline personality disorder and she just shook her head and said NOPE not at all… you are just a mom trying to do the best you can for your daughter. She said if I need to get a second opinion that she will do that as well for me. I told her that their entire case has focused on my mental health. She said didn’t you take a Psychological? I said, yes. I told her about that mess… and she said there is nothing wrong with you. Other than stress which is very normal with all they are putting you through with your daughter. I explained the bruises and what some of them looked like… such as the lines on her thighs and she said that YES a hand can make that kind of a bruise. That I need to find someone to re-evaluate Samantha and the bruises without the courts influence. I asked her if picture taking would cause the really bad psychological evaluation with Samantha and she said it might cause some problems but not what I had described as they found.
I was supposed to have court July 7th, 2004 but it was cancelled. My attorney decided to cancel it since we finally received the transcripts from Court in March. It took them until July to get them to my attorney. Melissa Goodrich, my attorney, told me that the new assistant prosecutor is refusing to do any kind of mediation so she is filing to DISMISS the charges. She said because they will not work with us it will help my case. I got the Judges Order for Property Settlement there is a lot wrong with it but he did give me the house I just have to get it refinanced and put in my name. Not sure how that is going to work out. He is ordering me to pay child support and saying that I make 306 a week when he knows I am unemployed. I will have to pay Jamie 148 a month or more if the Judge gets that passed. Please pray about this.
Please keep us in your prayers. Pray that charges will be dismissed then we can start focusing on Jamie and proving that he is in fact hurting Samantha. The police came to my house several weeks ago for new bruises on Samantha. They decided to tell me in front of her that they did not believe the bruises were from Jamie so she would not talk to them. Officer Bielas came and documented more bruises and Samantha told him what had happened. He said he would do an extensive police report. I wrote a letter to Matt Quaine, the chief of Police, requesting that they do a new Forensic Interview with the Police with Samantha… this time with the volume on. The case files are still OPEN on the abuse cases. Pray that the Chief of Police will help us out and work to close these cases out and protect Samantha. I also wrote a letter on July 12, 2004 to a man that is running for State Representative and told him that his running mate which is our State Representative never once responded to my letters that I wrote him. He is a REPUBLICAN so I am hoping that he might get involved. Everything looks as though it might be swinging in my favor now. Please keep praying. Thank you so much.
Pray that God will provide the means to find a new Psychiatrist to evaluate Samantha. Or that we can get the evaluation completely thrown out since they slandered me with no evidence to back up what they were saying about my mental health status. The Lord is so good. He is so faithful. I know that all of this is going to come to a close very soon. Keep praying that God will change Judge Radzibon’s heart and have him change custody over to me or be caught and reprimanded for his bias behavior in my case. Pray that everyone that has lied and deceived the court that it will all come to light and they will fall into the pit they dug for me. I have given my enemies to God that His will be done in their lives. It is not easy to let go and let God, but that is what we have had to do. Pray that my family will be reunited soon. I miss Grayson so much I have not seen him since Christmas… too long.
