Hello, My name is Paige Gouldby. I am a fresh men at Virgin Valley High School. I hope you dont mind my questions. Here sir, is my problem. When I was little, my parents divorced and my mother got legal custody of me. Well my parents have joint custody but I lived with my mom by order of the judge. well later on my mom became rappeed up on drugs.While she was on drugs she would hit my and curse me, so I told my dad. That summer my dad took us from her. He still dosent have legal custody and tecniclly us living there is illegal but it was much better then living from place to place with my mother. Things were ok living with my dad. He would drink occasionally, but nothing serious.when he gets drunk he yells and screams and hits me. When I was little he would beat my mom when he was drunk. now when he getrs drunk and hits me he calls me maggie (my mothers name). Its scary sir. Lately its been hard. I am a teen girl growing up with out a mother.Recently my mother told me she dident want me. I have a good frinend Rebecca and her mother debbie, they help me. They have been there to help me through. i have talked this out with Rebecca and her parents and they say I could move in with them. Recently my dad told me he was ready to put me up for adoption. I just need help sir. is there anyway I could find a way to make Rebeccas mom and dad my legal gaurdians? I fear things will get worse if i stay with my dad. Thank you for your time Paige Gouldy __________________________________________________
