Sometimes when you loose, you really Win. When you win, you really Loose. Keep fighting for Yourself and your Kids. In the end Your Children will know who fought for them and truly cared for them. Your prize is knowing that you did all you could. In the bigger spectrum, hopefully there will be one less batterer, or criminal in the world. I am a proud Mother and Non-battered Wife. I do all I can to make my Children happy and successful. When I reach those pearly gates, I can look God in the eye and say, I did all I could has a Mother, and a parent. You may have lost a Court Case, but you've Won a battle or 50 for your Child(ren). Keep up the great work! I know I will......
