Every time I pass a police car, every time I take my remaining children to doctors, every time I go to parent/teacher conferences, every time I email. Cps, every time I conference with lawyers, every time I see the newspaper, every time I see the mayor jogging, every time I hear a knock at the door.....I'm filled with hatred, paranoia, and defensiveness. I now despise anyone affiliated with CPS, police, school, government, and even innocent parents that are supporters of the above. How do I stop hating them?

You don't ever really. They allowed your little girl to be taken from you and abused further. What loving mother would be okay with that?

hate the sin, not the sinner?

I'm trying, Eljay, I'm trying . My eyes are definitely slanted against anything government. You know what I wrote on my jury duty notice? That because I've experienced my county court corruption via friends of the court, I'd be extremely biased in favor of any defendant. And maybe the court should find new friends .. think I'll be called ?

At least we know there is one honest person in your county! LOL

But since you mentioned jury duty, I'll tell you my recent JD experience. I got a summons for *federal* court jury duty last month. Now, as much as I would LOVE to serve (not kidding... I really do love the law), it would be a huge PITA to get to the downtown LA court by 7:45 as I'm 30 miles away and parking is like $18/day and I have to drive 4 miles just to get to the closest train station if I want to brave taking public transportation. Not to mention that I have two kids (12 & 13) who depend on me to get them up, fed and to school every day, plus picked up, fed & homework-nagged after school. There is a reason I quit my job in downtown LA 12 years ago.... to take care of my kids! Add to this that my 13 yr old has ADD so he *really* needs me nagging him to get his homework done. Financially, we couldn't afford to hire someone to do my job so I requested an excuse from serving. I was not expecting to get excused. The local courts are NOT lenient about JD around here. See.... 8 yrs ago, I had a 5 yr old in kindergarten (8:30 - 11:30 a.m.), a 4 yr old, and a home daycare business with a 1 yr old, 2 yr old and another part-timer 4 yr old. I explained all of this in my request for an excuse... that I had the children from four families depending on me. They did NOT excuse me. Wow.... it was enough to consider resuming breastfeeding! LOL Fortunately, it was the call-in system and I called in all week and was dismissed from JD on Wednesday evening. So, maybe they can put people in the 'last call' group who are only called in when they've run through everyone else.

So... I was surprised to learn that the DID excuse me from federal court. Yay! Somebody in government put kids first, finally.

When I was a little older than my girl I wanted JD. I never have once been called. I always thought it would be interesting.
