Story 1 | Story 2 | Story 3

The night our house was busted, I was 8 or 9 years old when I got taken away. The night it happened we were at home and my mom had went to the jail to do weekends and she told my dad not to do anything until she got back out of jail ( she was talking about cooking dope) my dad did it anyways, this guy came over and was on my bed, my cousins were in the bedroom too, my dad was in his bedroom, and me and my sister were in the livingroom. I was asleep on the couch and my sister woke up to the police busting in on us they said that they were looking for my mom. They yanked me up and saying come on charlotte and I was screaming I'm her daughter. they brung in these people in white and with mask it was the scaryest thing ever!!! They took us outside and put us in a car and watching everything that was going on. scared!

Betsy Dunn (dcs) and our grandmother had to take us to the hospital to do some tests and stuff. My sister tested possitive for meth from eating something out of a bowl that was around it. It was about 3:00 am in the morning when this happened.

(Dad part)

Now that I'm with my mom, I'm missing my dad, it does make me mad and it makes me cry when I think about it. the situation is bad. I love him, he just don't know the pain he has put me and Ashley through. Sometimes I want to blame myself but I'm not suppose to because it's not my falt. I sometimes blame myself because I think he doesn't want to see me because I now live with my mom and he wanted us to live with him, but he didn't get straight, take the classes or any of the stuff like that. If feels like he just forgot all about us. Well it hurts me really bad because I really love him, and I know he really loves me, but because of drugs he does not care about his own kids, just drugs. It really gets to me when people talk about him. even though I know he's wrong. I will still get really afended by anyone who says anything about him, the same with my mom to. It makes me mad when people sit there and complain about parents, when they don't know what it's like to be without them.

Sincerely yours,
Amber Greenlee
