Traci's story is all too familiar.

An angry parent call's CPS on the custodial parent and an endless nightmare ensues.

We have become a snitch society in which a grown man(or woman) feels that it is ok to bring in an entity like the police and child protective services to fight your battle for you.

Clue: parental decisions concerning children should NOT include Child Protective Services! You should not call a child trafficking operation to fight with your ex about anything but ESPECIALLY not about the children you claim to love.

Our society has taken a wrong turn when citizens think being a snitch is standard operating procedure.

You are the person who married the other parent! Had sex with them! Created children! Now your solution to those decisions is to call in an agency that is on the hunt for adoptable children to sell, because you don't get to have your way?

When parents split, they must still communicate and remember that a child loved both parents. These children are being ripped to pieces in a system that even Dr. Phil says is a total failure.

STOP IT! Our children are suffering!

Okay, I want to start off by saying that all of you are amazing and thank you for everyone's help both now and in the future. I would be lost without you guys! I know that I haven't been very active in here so far this year, and I want to apologize for that. We've been dealing with one thing right after another the last 5 months. The outpouring of love and support that I have seen in here has reminded me that this is a safe place and I can come to you and be honest about our troubles and why I haven't been active and creative. Please bear with me, as this will be long.

On Thanksgiving, I received a phone call from Child Protective Services that there had been an abuse report filed against me on my oldest son. The following day I received a notification from the court that my ex-husband was trying to get custody of him. The following week, I received a notice from the court that he was filing for emergency custody as he believed his son was in imminent danger living with me because I use physical discipline instead of timeout. Since then, we have been dealing with CPS, therapists, behaviorists, counselors and I honestly have no idea who else. Any given day, there are 1 to 3 people coming in and out of my house to monitor my children and myself. My boy is extremely high maintenance and has been diagnosed with Oppositional Defiance Disorder as well as an unofficial diagnosis of ADHD and whispers of autism. He will be 4 in May. But he is honestly a REALLY good boy, even if he is high strung. And I would NEVER harm my children.

My children and I were supposed to be moving 2 hours from our hometown to my fiance's hometown in December. Apparently, me filing for permission to move out of my mother's house to a town that would allow better opportunities and better schooling is what caused my ex to go to these extremes. In January, we went to court over me wanting to move. He convinced the court I was refusing him visitation, which I am not. He gets to see his son every other weekend as he always has. The judge informed us that if we could not learn to co-parent that she would be taking our son from both of us. I have increased my efforts to get along with my ex and even began giving him extra visits on my weekends. My fiance, George, moved to our town instead.

On February first, my mother and I got into an argument that resulted in my children and I being put on the street in 29 degree weather with no vehicle. She was providing transportation for my children to daycare every morning as my shift at the factory started at 5am and daycare doesn't open until 6:30am. When she kicked us out, she informed me she was no longer taking the children and that I would have to stay home with them instead of working. I do not have anyone in this town that can help that early in the morning, unfortunately, so I was forced to stay home from work to watch the kids. This resulted in the factory terminating my employment. So we scrambled and George found us a house to live in. Right now, we are currently only on his income because we only have one vehicle. Our taxes have been held up and we have been dealing with the IRS for weeks. Finally got that cleared up last Tuesday, thought we were going to be getting them to be able to get a second vehicle so that I can work... and on Saturday he found he's being required to call the IRS again, just days after I have been told I can go back to work at my old job. So we are sharing one vehicle, about to start working opposite shifts.

Wednesday, we drove over 4 hours to rescue a family member from drugs and abuse. Brought him to our home to try to help him. Thursday, we had $132 stolen from us. Friday, the family member made arrangements to leave our house and is back on drugs after basically stealing another $100 from us. Saturday, I received another call from CPS stating that ANOTHER abuse allegation has been filed against me on my son. Again, from his father's household. On top of all this, I am attending school, raising my children and going insane because I can not create. We are over a week late on rent, lost the house we were buying and flipping because we can't maintain payments on both properties and behind on a few other bills as well with maxed out credit cards.

We are getting married July 7, 2017. This is supposed to be a happy time and instead, I am getting blow after blow after blow thrown at me. So to see the love and support that you guys give in here is just amazing to me! I do apologize for being so quiet and in the shadows. But some days it is a struggle to even get out of bed. BUT I have resolved that from now on, I WILL get up and I WILL make the most of this. Because I have my tribe and I have my friends. George will be making his art debut in the Grove during the Spring Cleaning Sale and I will be putting in new pieces as well. Also, anyone who helps us out will be receiving special gifts after the wedding. I am so thankful for every single one of you in here.

I apologize that this is so long. And I sincerely thank you if you are still with me to this point. Please comment one thing below that I can do to make you smile. I have found that bringing joy and happiness to others increases my joy and happiness. And I could definitely use a boost these days. I love all of you. Thank you!
