| Publisher Description: Anna Marie wanted to be a mother since she was five years old. It would be a quarter-century before she would give birth to her first child. Over the next 25 years, this mother and her children would experience her husband's unrelenting domestic violence. Read the story of how one mother fought back her abusive husband, an attorney. In her pursuit of justice, the author discovers exactly how unjust the American justice system is when it comes to helping victims of domestic violence. The author questions if "Blue Privilege" caused her justice to be denied? Is the American justice system is denying victims protection, services, and justice? Do victims endure prolonged abuse due to "Blue Privilege"? It is the author's position that the American government's justice system has prioritized growing agencies by showing the need for more money, more staff, more programs, and services. Yet the profoundly disturbing truth is this victim found no services beyond the fully staffed office. The reason for denial or rejection for services was always the same, "budget constraints". Annual budgets are created, submitted, and approved. They seem to always account for buildings, offices, and departments. Every department is staffed with directors and their assistant, deputy, and their assistant, supervisors, managers, caseworkers and administrators, but no money ever seems to ever be available for meaning services and support for victims of domestic violence. Worse, victims are treated with disdain and disregard while being denied protection or services. Supporting the government programs for victims of domestic violence, from the police to CPS to Family Court, is an army of attorneys licking their chops at a chance to squeeze thousands of dollars from unsuspecting and desperate parents, victims of domestic violence, who need legal representation. The author describes for the reader how she maneuvered through a labyrinth of government, social, and volunteer program designs to help battered women. Rarely does she find any helpful services, protection is denied more than once, yet government officials offered no alternatives while undermining her child's CPS case--in another state Read as this mother takes on her abusive husband/DC attorney, fights for her child's protection while studying the law and court procedures to end up representing herself. The author offers practical solutions that could be implemented tomorrow to help victims of domestic violence escape living with violence. Lastly, the author encourages all citizens to unite and demand meaningful change for victims still trapped and oppressed America by domestic violence in 2020. |
