My ex-husband sued me for the kids and won. I didn't realize till the next day that what they were doing in court was profiling me like the next Adam Lanza. They made a big deal that I thought I might have Aspergers in the past. Now I think I don't have it, but I definitely have some traits, but not strongly enough for the full-blown AS. So they took all these traits: social awkwardness, interest in AS, estrangement from my parents, PTSD, good story writing skills, history of being an abused child, and 'wierdness', and took my kids. The guardian ad litem said forcefully, "You will never be taking these kids to school!" And I didn't get it. And the trial was all about my brother. My brother did almost plant a bomb in our high school when we both went there, and I'm pretty sure he does have full-blown AS. He has major problems (porn addiction), and he scares me, and I don't talk to him or hang out with him. But somehow I am being held responsible for what my brother did almost 20 years ago.
My ex and his mom made up these false stories about weird things I did, and the judge believed them. I have NO criminal history. My ex has been verbally abusive to me for years, and I got a harassment restraining order on him, which was overturned due to lack of evidence. And his lawyer portrayed it like I'm just a bitter, jealous woman trying to smear his reputation.
A few weeks ago I had a quick meeting with my kids and their principal because we had a good idea for the school that we wanted to share (recycling). I want to teach my kids to speak up for what they believe in and how to make a proposal. I also want them to be involved in their school/ community. My ex brought it up in court and said pointedly that it was weird. And the judge agreed, that was weird. What??? I've always been involved with my kids' education.
I'm so angry at Adam Lanza! And my brother! These losers created a criminal profile that I've been wrongly put into! The guardian ad litem and judge don't want me to drop off my kids at school, because they think I'm going to cause trouble at the school! So they took my kids overnights just so that I can't drop off my kids at school in the morning! And the school just sent out an email that parents aren't allowed to come into the school at the end of the day to pick up kids. We have to wait in our cars. For the children's safety.
Do you get this? They think my contact with the principal was to try to start a conflict, when I just wanted to share a good idea. My mind is just blown. I'm scared, and embarrassed that they think I would do anything wrong.
