I might have to start backwards but where did the “Emily doesn’t like me anymore” come from then? Thanks for bringing that up, Busylady. I missed that the first time around. Personally, my own opinion, I don’t hold much stock in that document. So many reasons why. But number one: why would it be stipulated (if that’s what happened) and accepted by the judge that Emily has BPD unless there were medical reports to substantiate it. Then the whole meth and heroin thing. If drug tests were mandated and included, I have a hard time believing marijuana did not also show up during those tests. Then her attorney says EG has never tested positive for MJ. The ex’s statements were accepted as fact (btw, I believe every word he said). It seems there are possibilities for future complications to me. The case with the ex was treated as only a formality so it could get off the judge’s schedule and filed into the case worker’s filing cabinet. I was not impressed. Don’t even get me started with the endometriosis. I have to stop now and hit post before I write a run on essay.
Exactly!
And so many of them remain under probation of some level, they stick together. If one goes down, they all go down. There is no honorable captain of the ship.
I think the question was meant to explain that Lucas did not call her "Glass," not that he didn't make the statement. He probably said "she," and the document writer changed the word for clarity.
You make so much sense. Will you be my clarity guru in case I get in trouble on down the road? I’m afraid it’s going to be a long weary trip.
IMO this is the crux of the issue. I'd bet dollars to donuts that every parent here has had to grab their young'uns at least once in order to prevent something awful from happening but did not leave marks in the form of finger impressions on their chest.
Hahaha I'm not sure you want to use me as a "clarity guru." Many days, that could be the blind leading the blind!
I certainly have made it quite clear already that I despise that man and anxiously wait until the day he suffers the consequences of his actions and inactions and is forced to take accountability. I want him prosecuted to the fullest extent of the legal law. In the meantime, I believe he is suffering. Not as deep as Lucas had to endure in his short life, but suffering.
Also, if by some feat it was completely accidental, I think the boy would have known because JH would have been clearly apologetic when it happened. Also, I don't recall what JH said happened, but I don't remember thinking it sounded like that was the case when I heard it.
I could not agree more. I have come in contact with people for whom violence is the answer to everything. They are always shocked when I speak up. I won’t stand for it. I won’t stay in that environment and I’ll be danged if someone is gonna put a hand on a child in anger. My kids have gotten a swat on the bottom or on the hand sure. Accidental bumps of course. Have I ever left a mark on any child out of anger - no. Have I ever left a mark on a child as an accident- well when I was a child I accidentally hit my cousin with a baseball bat, he walked up behind me while I was at bat. Ran him straight to his mother I think I was crying harder than he was. I’ve bonked heads accidentally, accidentally bumped someone reaching for something, grabbed something from a child they shouldn’t play with, snatched a kid out of the way of traffic, pulled children from water, snatched a hand that was reaching for a hot stove...none of those things have ever left a mark. I didn’t mean to, I didn’t mean to leave a mark, and it was an accident are all three different things. Very different things. IMO
I'm with you. I just can't wrap my head around it, giving JH a free pass.
