I don’t get it. The principal of the High school turned us in to dhs because I had Amber and Edward living in the same house. Nothing came of it because we weren’t doing anything wrong. They came out to follow up on it now that Amber and Edward are 18 years old. They also came out because I had a blog entry about shooting a pit-bull that was attacking me. I had pictures of the bite and the chicken that it had tore up. The chicken survived and I shot the dog in self defense.

                Right now we are preparing to go to court on Monday to try and keep the kids out of the home of a man that has beat several women, mashed his daughters face into the pillow before she could even walk. He also twisted her arm badly bloodied her lip. This man tried to make Mandy miscarry her son by punching and kicking her in the stomach while she was pregnant.

                I have been considering giving Mandy the farm and moving put because it is my fault that DHS are involved. I am putting her children at risk by having the dhs involved over my actions. I’m really confused. My daughter was very unhappy and had run away from where she lived in Texas.    I sold the first house trailer that I had here in Arkansas to get enough money to go and get her and to do my best to keep her out of harm’s way and to keep her in school. We brought her boyfriend Edward from Texas with us. I did everything that I could for them. I treated Edward like a son. I went to college, went to work, and other than that I was at home. We did things as a family. We watched movies, made cookies, and we spent time together. Where in any of this is there harm? Why did Principal Powell get them involved?  We had a good, happy live.

                Apparently dhs was also called last year either by Joey or his intravenous drug using sister because she wanted him to get custody of the kids. They used my website as a way to try and show that I’m not a good person because I protected myself from a dog that was biting me.  DHS just got around to coming out when Mandy reported Joey for threatening to kill himself in front of his son.

                I’m truly confused I’ve done everything that I thought was right and the drug users and wife beaters seem to have the power to destroy things anyway. Do those of us that try to do the right thing even have a chance? I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to leave Mandy but if I’m putting her in danger of losing the kids’ maybe I should find another place to live and give her the farm.
