I apologize that I have not been able to update lately but everything has been crazy around here.  With our story airing on 9news to the preparations of the carnival, Jacob and I both having some medical needs that needed to be met, and school ending its been alot.  Now we are in vacation mode.  Just ready to get away from the stressors of life and have a good time.  Once home from vaction I will start posting more.  Thank you for all of your support.

Dads Release and its impact on our family

Sadly Kamoras father was released from prison last Monday May 1.  This brought a lot of tension on the family more specifically Jacob and myself.  I supposed in time this will subside but for now its like a dark cloud hovering over us.  Just doesnt feel fair.  Doesnt feel like justice has been served.  And there is a very bitter feeling that we share that he is free while Kamora and Jacob still stuggle daily.  Please continue to keep our family in your prayers.

Daily struggles with Jacob

Off and on over the years we have struggled with Jacob with his PTSD and other issues going on with him.  I cant go into great detail although I wish I could so I could raise awareness of the things that he struggles with daily as well as his sister Kamora.  But I have to be a parent above all else and guard him from this cruel world that we live in.  And since we will be getting so much social media viewing with 9News and through Facebook I have to be careful about how much I talk about with his struggles.  Junior High or should I say Middle School age is tough anyway.  But the kids these days take bullying to a whole different level especially with having access to the internet and so many social media websites.  And for that I fear of bad exposure.  But what I do want to say that Jacob does struggle with PTSD.  He really really struggles with it.  And much of the bullying happened in his last two years of elementary school and this current year in middle school at school and in our neighborhood.  I think it has stopped.  At least for now since the police got involved a couple of times.  But I wish these kids understood the damage they cause to others with their actions.  I wish they understood before and not years down the road when the damage is already done and its too late to take it back.  Jacob has been in a really bad place this year.  Especially the past couple of months.  And the past couple of weeks have been a pure nightmare for our family.  With that being said, I think we have made a turn in the right direction and on a path to recovery.  At least I hope we are.  My family is in need of prayers.  Please pray for strength for recovery.  Jacob has been on vacation and is coming home tomorrow.  I cant wait to see him.  Thank you everyone.

Most current update on DAD and release

Sadly I received an email that Kamoras father's release date has been moved up a whole month to May 1, 2017.  So sad after what he did and the fact that he never took accountability for his actions.  No apology.  NOTHING  And thats about all I can say on this matter.
