Sy, I am sorry that you have no understanding for my situation, or my child. Ideally, if you could walk a mile in my shoes perhaps then you would begin to develop an understanding. Oregon is a booming town for construction workers and anyone in the medical field, no doubt. All I can tell you is what I myself have experienced, and what I have experienced is a high improbability of employment in my field of work (secretary-about 30 years)that is both consistent and discouraging. Seriously, unless you are a woman who has credentials in office work and have been actively seeking employment in Oregon recently--well, honestly, how can you comment on what you do not know firsthand? Along the same lines, I agreed to go to Oregon to "check things out" PERIOD. Once I researched it and found it to be far less than what I was told, I attempted to RETURN HOME with our child. It was then that my ex (acting with his current wife) obstructed us from leaving (he put a second lock on our storage unit and changed the gate code) so we couldn't retrieve what we had brought with us to leave. So, again, to say that I am the one who is disturbing the situation by desiring to "return" to the home We didn't intend on leaving in the first place...I can't help but think that you are automatically putting up a wall of judgment where you shouldn't be. Am I picking up on personal resentments from your past? If so I'm sorry for your pain. If I am guilty of anything, it is in having made every good faith effort and attempt to be amicable to these people for the sake of my child. Surely you can understand that, no? I would remain in Oregon if I could and believed it to be better for my child--but I can't and it isn't. Because I have been set up and deceived, I will do everything possible that is within my legal power to return my child to the better life (and health, and education...)she had in California. That's it. Thank you for your information and comments. I wish you well in your goal to find the truth. God Bless.
