I've been kind of MIA for the past month or so, haven't had time to do hardly anything but work, take care of my oldest daughter and prepare for my custody hearing last week. As I had mentioned in a previous blog, I was divorced three years ago from a 15 year marriage with three daughters. Due to my circumstances (transitioning and court being held in Mississippi) my life has been hell. Quite literally hell.. On the initial separation my ex had gotten angry, extremely angry and for almost two years I had almost no contact with my daughters. Things started to change when we had the divorce, my oldest two had started seeing through the lies they had been told, plus me buying them phones increased our ability to talk, which only made their mom even angrier. She then started directing her anger at me to my girls, only because they started to accept me. That culminated to an assault on my oldest last year and I got custody of her back in May.

Thankfully there wasn't any more physical violence to my younger two, but my middle daughter had had enough and wanted to come down with me. The judge had overruled her wishes, based on my "lifestyle" choice. I've been in court 4 times since last year trying to get custody of her. Last week I won... I now have my two oldest babies (so what if they are 18 and 17). The Judge finally noticed that I am still a great parent, and that I love my kids. My oldest daughters improvement since last year, in her health and education proved it.

Now once I get my middle all settled in, maybe life could get back to a more normal pace and I can start writing. My muse has been active in my head, just sadly I've barely had time to sleep let alone write.

Much love to everyone
I'm currently on cloud 9, even if I'm exhausted lol
