Termination Of Parental Rights

Your whole life as his mom was just summed up in a few sentences by a judge with some very strong opinions in a room full of people who have never met you. It was hard to hear because I know that you are so much more than the ruling that was made today. I know the love you have for your child, the desire you had to want better for him and for yourself, the struggle to dig yourself out of the pit of generational trauma and then climb the mountain that is sobriety and a case plan. I promise I saw you. I saw the internal battle to live a different life than the one you were dealt. And I promise that will be part of the story I tell your son.
