In my opinion, you need to move. I have no idea where you live now, but it sounds like you live in the U.S. and even Wichita, Kansas (where I live) or Lincoln, Nebraska sound enlightened compared to where you are now. Your family sounds utterly toxic, the local government is backwards (no judge in Kansas would change custody because the mother was OMG ... professional *gasp*) and the citizens are dangerous.

I think you need to take care of yourself first, find a comfortable place where you feel safe and welcome and then work your way out from there.


And seriously, who really calls someone a heathen any more? I don't know if I should laugh at them or feel sorry for them.
