(Message to my son below this) ?
A short version of my story...
Hello and welcome! My name is Tanya. I recently had this idea. After researching for weeks, and having zero dollars to start a business, I finally came across this website. I had no idea that it was possible to start a small business online, with zero dollars. Luckily, I had everything done on my end, with my logo ready and all of my ideas. I did everything myself, with no experience whatsoever with design or business. That took a lot of time. It's not so easy! But I did it. And I'm proud of it!
Here's a bit of how I got here... It was a domino effect of horrible circumstances, starting about 3 years ago, which led to mine & my son's eviction on 6.22.2024... Major medical issues (myself) and losing our health insurance at exactly the same time, not working at that time because I was in constant excruciating pain. We were owed 11K in child support at the time of our eviction (17K now), turned down by the state of NJ for all help, NJ Child Support Services doing NOTHING and aware, all along, of my ex-husband WILLFULLY WITHHOLDING child support for years & purposely causing our eviction (he was aware of the upcoming eviction while working overtime for cash and not paying support, among other things...). TWELVE CHILD SUPPORT HEARINGS SINCE OUR EVICTION, SEVEN DIFFERENT JUDGES IN NJ & NY... NOT ONE JUDGE ORDERED HIM TO PAY THE SUPPORT. BUT ALSO, NOT ONE JUDGE WOULD OPEN OR READ MY OVERWHELMING PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF WILLFUL NONPAYMENT OF SUPPORT. AND NOT ONE JUDGE WOULD ALLOW ME TO SPEAK. MY CIVIL RIGHTS & MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS HAVE BEEN VIOLATED REPEATEDLY, WITH NO FAIR HEARINGS. AND LEGAL SERVICES OF NJ AND LEGAL SERVICES OF HUDSON VALLEY, NY REFUSED TO REPRESENT ME.
PLEASE SIGN MY PETITION! (AND READ OUR WHOLE STORY)

I raised my boy alone for 18 years. I was awarded sole physical & legal custody of him when he was one year old. We were best friends. The eviction led us physically apart. My son had just finished his junior year in high school. I had to ask a family in our town to take him in, while I lived in my car with our beloved cat Sonny, and went couch to couch at friend's homes...
Four months after our physical separation, my son went 'no contact' with me, out of nowhere. No abuse. Nothing like that. I am still in shock. We were inseparable and had a beautiful life together. The best years of my life, hands down. This has destroyed me. I have suffered from domestic violence in my life, but I broke that cycle.
I know that my son is being influenced by my ex-husband & his family & even some of my own family members, who are not happy with me since I started speaking openly about abuse two years ago. It took me 49 years to speak about it. (It was no secret to my extended family & close friends.)
This situation has everything to do with coercive control.
I don't think that my son believes that he is being influenced. I just don't think that he sees it right now.
I've only seen my son twice in the past year and a half... And that was not time spent together. I have not seen my son or heard his voice in one year. I reach out daily, via phone calls, texts and emails. No replies.
TO MY BEAUTIFUL BOY? I have tried everything to get back to you. You are my life. My purpose. My greatest gift. My biggest blessing. My whole world. I couldn't possibly love you more. All I have wanted since this happened, is to get back to you and get us a home again. This pain is unbearable. Every single second of the day.
I pray that this idea that came to me (I believe it's an answered prayer from Jesus- a million prayers for two years) brings us back together quickly and provides a home for us both, and our Sonny boy. ? I miss you beyond words. I love you immensely. Please....
CALL YOUR MOM. ?
