Sweet Friends,
I want to tell you this about my Father. Some of you know that I’d been trying to get Guardianship of my Daddy who took care of him who has Dementia. He was conned into marriage for his money. (This scam has been going on for many years.) I lost the battle.
Further, in the 90s when I had my severe trauma (he wasn’t sick then) Daddy traveled 1,200 miles to be with me. At that time, I was 101 lbs, in a fetal position, couldn’t talk and couldn’t swallow to eat. Thus the weight loss and I shook terribly, not from the cold. My Daddy would drive back and forth and stay for a week, go back, come again and do so much for me. He would clean my house, make meals to try to help me eat, do dishes, put me on the couch and lovingly cover me up so he could keep an eye on me. He helped me take my meds which was hard to do since I could not swallow. He’d crush them to powder. He’d always find me in every hospital I was put in. I love my Daddy with my heart and saying that to me are mere words that truly do not express my love for him. I thank God for giving me a Daddy such as he. And if God had asked me the question, “You have anyone of your choosing to be your Dad. Who would it be?” I’d choose my Daddy in a heart beat.
Taking care of my Daddy in his Alzheimer’s was not easy but I wanted to do it. And in lucid moments, my Daddy would thank me for caring for him. I want to cry.
Anyway, my question is this: I have cried to God, prayed for a solution, you’ve prayed for me and now I have to be supervised when I see my Daddy. Huh? O.O,
His wife and my brother told so many lies and they were believed. His wife and my brother are good friends and my brother wanted this to happen. Anyway, I was shocked when I heard I had to be supervised and cried for days. It made me feel as if I abused my Daddy, or was a criminal or predator. I am not and would never abuse anyone.
Okay…Doesn’t matter. Now, I’ve a different perspective on this situation. Instead of putting an ash cloth on and be a victim and go around saying, “Woe is me”, I want to fight for justice, my Dad who I know is not being taken care of as he should and for others who may be in the same situation.
Plus, my Counselor said she never heard of anyone going up against four Attorneys by themselves. Said I was getting to be very strong person. Ah, my legs are still like jello.
But, her saying that, now, I want to fight back which I haven’t done. Legally of course. Doesn’t God stand behind those to give courage in order to do justice? My sister said, I’d be like Joan of Arc. But I just want to be me.
Is it okay to do this? Or wait till a door opens. I’ll still be praying. But as Christians, can’t we stand up for ourselves? Especially having been done wrong against a person who is disabled and found out last week, I have another debilitating illness. Wrong doing against anyone who is disabled, and does not deserve it, that to me is a sin.
I wish I could talk to the Legislature. My Counselor friend wants me to go on Dateline or 48 Hours because of me being abused, victimized, traumatized and now severely emotionally wounded even from childhood from my Mother. A lot has happened to me.
What is your opinion? Also, I care for each of you and pray for you all the time.
I apologize and so sorry this is so long.
Love ya’ll,
Sheila
