About Me
- Tudu
- Deep South, United States
- I am the mother of 10 children, 6 are part of a large sibling group we adopted through foster care in 2006, 2 are our grown foster daughters, 2 are from independent infant adoptions in 2001 and 2008. Every one of them have their own issues to work through from Schizo-Affective Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Complex PTSD, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Sensory Integration Dysfunction, ADHD, and Cerebral Palsy. Most of our children have been victims of sexual abuse by a close family member, most acted out sexually or exhibited predatory behaviors. We are currently trying to figure out where the trauma ends and mental illness begins in each of their lives.

I've been on a Grand Jury. It's not really a trial since,usually, the defendant does not appear. The prosecution calls witnesses with the goal of getting the Grand Jury to agree that a crime has been committed and that there is enough evidence to suggest that the person or persons in question might have done it and should be indicted and tried. In my state the defense can volunteer to have the defendant testify but this rarely happens. Most of the fireworks go on at the actual trial if it goes that far.
