Hi all!

I just found this page thru a search engine and have been reading all the messages posted here.

I live in Sonoma County CA, in the same county as Maria Teresa Macias. To date, the police here are still refusing to document properly domestic violence calls. I'm living proof. I've been calling on and off for about four years now.

My ex boyfriend is now trying to take full custody of a child whom he hasn't bothered to see, apart from very brief periods spanning the last year. Now that this child has been diagnosed with ADHD, he suddenly believes I'm not fit.

I've attempted numerous times to get a restraining order against him for abuse of not only myself, but of both of my kids. Several years back he beat my now ten year old daughter and has hit them both on countless occasions.

Because I'm disabled and on a fixed very low income I cannot afford an attorney. He's found one. Courts in this county will NOT appoint attorneys to people like me. The average cost of an attorney here is from 3 thousand to 6 thousand dollar retainer fee.

Now on top of his emotional, mental, and financial abuse I now have to contend with him using the legal system against me since he knows I have zero access to a lawyer. My area doesn't have any service in place for people like me.

I'd love to talk to anyone else in this area who has gone through this themselves, or knows someone who has. I don't know where to turn anymore. All I can do now is pray that this man will not get custody. This little boy deserves better than to be used as a pawn in his father's abuse of me and the legal system.

Domestic Violence is a serious thing. Every two minutes, women all over the world are exposed and part of domestic violence. I am a victims sister to domestic violence. This past November, a week before Thanksgiving my younger sister who was 28 years old was murdered, by her live in boyfriend of 13 yrs. The worst part was that her two children were in the home when the kiling occured. My neice who is 4yrs old, seeked for help,from a neighbor to report the tradegy, and the murder became a big murder story in Pocono Pennsylvania. It really shocked her community. There had never been such a big crime in this community.

My family and I have been struggling with this, we never imagined such a thing could happen in our family. I never knew that my sister was a domestic violence victim. It was an unhealthy relationship that our family was not aware of. It was really well hidden. The sad part is that after she was killed, many of her friends spoke and revealed to us of the mental and physical abuse they witnessed for many years. But yet no one seeked to help her, by letting her family know. Because of fear and respecting my Sisters privacy. All those people carry the guilt and sadness of not coming foward and helping saving her life"!!.

There are many stories like these and we need to open our eyes and help victims of domestic violence. No more keeping quiet and fearing. It's better to fear and save yourself than keeping quiet and dieing. Take a stand for those lives.......Remember it can be closer to home than you can imagine!!

In Memory of my sister Jeanette Claudio February 6, 1978- November 18, 2007......
