Im in a Custody Battle With a Bipolar Mother Who Has Sleepovers With Mentally Ill Public Drug Users. Unfit?
Question by rlblondes75: Im in a custody battle with a bipolar mother who has sleepovers with mentally ill public drug users. Unfit?
Keep in mind my son is present for all of this…In addition to her own illness, her best friend who I found has babysat my son and stays over some nights posted a picture on Facebook of her smoking pot (Remember Michael Phelps?) There are also several postings about her drug use including “hard narcotics” and references to a BDSM relationship with my ex. In the past she has stolen my exes precription pills and been found almost bled to death in a bathtub. I also found out my ex has a new “friend”, a schizophrenic on disability (I know him as an aquaintance) who I have video of his truck in her driveway staying overnight (my son told me he was “staying with them a little while”) Another friend coming over has a police record such as “ELUDING POLICE” She filed a Protective Order against me in 2007 without any proof of abuse based on my own Bipolar disorder (She wasn’t admitting her own at the time) when I wouldn’t stay with her so she could live her alternative lifestyle. I am stable and in a healthy relationship with a woman who has known me ten years and sincerely believes I am not capable of violent acts (she has no mental illness or record). We are looking to get a house together and she supports my decision to pursue full custody of my son as she knows I’m not the abuser I am alleged to be in addition to how my son reacts to me (he hates going home on Sundays). What are my options? Can my attorney have these people banned from coming around at the very least legally? If it is not those degenerates it will be someone else (She has filed three Protective Orders, the first was when I caught her trying to have a threesome while locking my son in his bedroom.a week after we separated. I naturally protested and she filed the order. She dropped it six days later. The second time I had tried moving on with my life with another woman who had it more together. She dropped that order as soon as she found out I broke things off. The third time was when I told her my son was going with me, he was not safe with her.) I fought for eight months just to get two days a month supervised by my parents. I got that extended to full supervised weekends. The protective order ends in November and I have abided by it entirely (I sent a family member to get the video evidence). I have saved every document that clearly shows a pattern of conflicting evidence presented by her (statements indicating I have never hit, cursed, or harmed her physically) as well as a police report from the last night that indicates no abuse as she later stated. The courts wont allow past issues to be brought up but the first things metioned are recent (Im hoping if she brings up the POs I will have the right to at that point expose her perjury and inconsistency in obtaining them). I have a competent attorney working for me, and unfortunately the case is so complicated it costs me a hundred dollars everytime I just give him a written summary of what she is doing or engaging in. I can’t find anything online about shady aquaintences in Virginia related to proving a mother unfit (Her bipolar causes poor judgement…i.e. bipolar drug using friends and schizos around my son) She has actually used my bipolar (before she admitted to her own) as a reason to keep me away, how are these degenerates any better? Id appreciate some good advice.

Answer by Karlrein S
It wouldn’t be for the faint of heart. You’d have to talk to drug addicts and persuade them to stop using.
Many counselors are former addicts, so again, i ask WHY?

Should US Be Required to Provide Illegal Transgender Detainees With Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Question by : Should US be required to provide illegal Transgender detainees with hormone replacement therapy?
SANTA ANA In the depths of depression, battling hot flashes and desperate about her situation, Monica Freas tried to throw herself from the second floor of the Santa Ana Jail before friends restrained her.
After two decades of taking hormone replacement therapy, the 35-year-old no longer had access to the drugs that made her feel comfortable in her own skin. She begged and pleaded with jailers for months to give her the medication that made her “feel normal,” but they refused.
“I just can’t even look at myself in the mirror anymore,” Freas said in a recent interview while in detention on suspicion of being in the country illegally. She rubbed her face and pointed to the stubble on her cheeks. “For years I tried hard to get to that point and for it all to be taken away.”
She and others have shared their stories with the Heartland Alliance National Immigrant Justice Center, an advocacy group that has filed complaints with the Department of Homeland Security alleging that jailers nationwide have deprived detainees of “adequate health care” by denying them the therapy.
Immigrant-rights groups, the American Medical Association and others in the medical community say hormone replacement therapy is necessary in cases of gender identity disorder. Those with the disorder feel a strong identification with the opposite sex, which causes intense emotional pain and suffering, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Others question whether taxpayers should fund the treatment for a certain population of immigration detainees. While immigration officials say they don’t know the exact cost of providing hormone therapy to detainees, at least one physician puts the price tag at about $ 1,000 per person per year for treatment and monitoring.
It is unclear how many transgender detainees make up the estimated daily immigration detention population of more than 30,000 at nationwide facilities because Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials don’t track such figures, said ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice. The Santa Ana Jail now houses about 40 transgender detainees as part of a contract with ICE.
Over the past few months, Santa Ana Jail has become the primary host for vulnerable and special needs ICE detainees – including transgender detainees – for the Los Angeles area, ICE officials said. The transgender detainees are separated from the regular inmate population for their own safety, officials added.
Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, an anti-illegal immigration think tank, said taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for the treatment.
“It’s one thing if you have a medication that is necessary for you to continue breathing,” he said. “It’s not what this is.”
