In the 221st State District Court of Montgomery Co, TX, Judge Suzanne Stovall massacred me in a 3¼ year custody case for my, now, 6½ y/o daughter.
Convicted child molesters have more access to their children than I do.
Calls, letters, & gifts are intercepted, & I have no visitation.
The mother secreted her 2mo & 14mo babies, 1200 miles from their father, & for 15½ years, her family prevented all contact.

This article is written for parents who have, for one reason or another, found themselves at their wits’ end. Many have lost confidence to parent their own children and teens. Often the idea of sending a teen or pre-teen away to a residential facility or program is tempting, especially when parents feel they are not being heard or when their child or teen is being defiant.

Over 7 million children currently live in homes where one parent is an alcoholic. Twelve to fourteen million adults abuse alcohol or have chronic alcoholic behavior. One in five adults living today grew up in a home where one or both parents were alcoholics. Research shows that children living in a home where a parent is addicted to alcohol have a greater chance of emotional problems than children who live in a home where alcohol is not an issue. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 61 % of adults in the United States report that they drink alcohol. Thirty-two percent report that they drank five or more alcohol drinks in one day during the past year. Over 100,000 U.S. citizens die each year due to alcohol-induced experiences. Other research shows that more than half of all homicides, suicides and traffic accidents in the U.S. are alcohol related It’s not hard to find information regarding the negative effects that alcohol has on the family.

It is easy for a child to walk up to you and state exactly what they need or want. Later, you may notice that your pocketbook is empty, you are running your children around at all hours, and you do not have the ability to finish exactly what you need. If you have become a part of this habit, you are most likely subjecting your child to a permissive parenting style.

Single parent families, that are those, which have only one person as the head of the family, are growing in numbers every year. Such families are usually the result of parental breakup and unwanted pregnancies. More than men, women are the ones who get into this difficult situation. They are not only required to feed the family but also support everyone emotionally.
