My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Texas
I reside in Texas, court order and custodial parent reside in Illinois.
Four years ago I found out my older son molested his younger brother while in my care. The incident had actually occurred the year before that, but I didn't find out until my younger child tried to molest another family member at his next visit with me.........my daughter's child. I was sickened and devastated. And I do mean, literally sick, throwing up constantly, unable to sleep. worried beyond imagination.
We are an upper middle class family and I thought I was a good mother, checking on my sons all the time. Every time I checked they were playing 'G-rated' video games. I have always told my children to inform me immediately if anyone ever touches them in an inappropriate way, even if that person is someone they trust and care about. My younger son never indicated anything was amiss.
My older son was the one who confessed he had done a very bad thing, it happened once (in a time frame of less than 30 seconds) and he felt too guilty to tell anyone. He didn't make this confession to me, but to my daughter......in an email. That same day, he also confessed to me. I don't know if it's right to feel hate towards your own child, but at that time, I most certainly did and I won't deny it.
After serious thought and much soul-searching, my husband and I decided to handle this monstrous hurdle within the family. My daughter refused that solution stating that she would contact the authorities if I didn't. Mind you, I have personally seen her slap my grandkids across the face more than once, but talked to her praying she would correct her malicious behavior.
I did call the police myself and my son was arrested and went to juvenile hall. When he was released, he underwent almost two years of counseling along with several suicide attempts. He was too young to drive so, I took him once a week. My younger son's father was notified and I haven't seen my younger son since. It's been four years since I've seen the little guy, who isn't so little anymore.
For those of who are wondering, I lost custody of my youngest son in the state of Wyoming. A state where men are superior to women, no matter how uneducated they are.
Now I'm just wondering if I can legally see my son again despite all of the above. CP says I can't unless I can 'prove' my older son isn't a part of my life. Sorry, I can't and WON'T prove that because he is. He is living proof that, no matter HOW bad you were, you can turn your life around. Any advice would be appreciated.
