YES!

OK so we had Max on Sunday January 25th. Gail was supposed to pick him up at 6pm. At 5:30p she sends a text message she would be here at 7 and please have him ready and "make sure he has Clays (Max's half brother) sweater and video games that Max stole". Dean responded with fine as far as 7 however the sweater and games go we have no idea what she is taking about. She proceeding to text Dean like father like son...Dean she is calling Dean a thief.


At about 6 she decided to come get him and text Dean she would be here in 15 minutes. Dean responded that she said 7 and 7 it is ..she proceeded to text about the guidelines which Dean informed her that 30 minutes earlier she ask to wave the guidelines. At 6:15 Clay showed up to get Max. Note Clay is a know criminal with a record for stealing and abusing of drug and alcohol..... We sent him away an told him to return at 7 which he did.

If you are ever treated in a doctors office or hospital in Indianapolis and your nurse is Gail Henricks RUN, don't walk. Also if your anesthesiologist id Eric Henricks......go the other way.

Another small victory. Judge Ayers threw out Ed Kelly's motion for her to reconsider recusing Judge Ayers. Duh Ed....Fighting so hard to keep Commissioner Shook only proves our point that a) she was bias and b) you knew it too....

No news is good news, but good news is better

OK, so Dean and I went to DC for the inauguration. Max stayed behind with his sister Lauren (she's 22). They had a fantastic weekend together, and so did Dean and I. On Monday January 19th our attorney called to tell us we had a small victory. Justice prevailed and the Judge Ayers granted our request to have Commissioner Shook recused. Also she moved the trial from March 26th to March 5th. Finally....

Well no big surprise Ed Kelly the attorney for Gail Spires Alger Henrick's filed a motion for Judge Ayers to reconsider her decision to recuse Commissioner Shook. I'm a little confused, He is trying so hard to keep Commissioner Shook I guess her agrees with us the she would be bias.....

It was a blissful 7 days from Tuesday the 14th until Tuesday the 20th as Max was with us or Lauren. No texts or phone calls from Max about the ongoing torture he faces in his mothers household from his mother Gail Henricks or his step father Dr. Eric Henricks. Unfortunately she returned on Tuesday late. On Wednesday Max texted us on our way home from DC and told us his mother told him he was not allowed to go home until they returned from a dinner with family that he was not invited to....Did I mention Max is not allowed to be in his mothers home when they are not present. He does not have a key and is not given the garage access code

Snow Delay.

Well court was delayed today due to the fact that the judge could not get in - My office is open, I didn't know I had a choice! We have been fighting this battle since September 18th of 2007. Why would a mother and the court system put a child through this torture?

Liar, Liar pants on fire!

So on Sunday night Dean gets a text message from Gail saying she was headed out of town from Tuesday the 13th of January to the 2oth and Dean had to keep Max. Not, do you have plans, is it OK.....What ever. We do have plans as I have been invited to two inaugural balls. No fear Lauren stepped in and will be sitting for Max from Saturday to Tuesday, but that's not the best part. As of today she is still in town - she just doesn't want her son. Why doesn't she give him to us? Could it be just about the money? We have a court date tomorrow to get the judge recused. Do you think they are going to try and postpone the hearing?

Home again - Home again

Back home again in Indiana. So Max doesn't want to go home to his mothers house tonight (no surprise). So he texted her, "mom can I stay at dads tonight "fine!" is her texted response. That is the nicest she has been to him in a year.

Think good thoughts we are going to court on Wednesday to have the bias judge recused. Remember, when Max mom files a motion at the last minute that Max is incapable of honestly knowing that he wants to live with his father, Maxs mom Gail filed a motion that Max was several mentally ill. The judge agreed to postpone the case as she "has a mentally ill son". Naturally we want the judge to remove herself but Gail thinks she should remain.

You are not going to belive this one.

Two nights ago Gail, Max's birth mom told him that even if his face clears up he will still be ugly. I thought mothers have an innate seen to protect their children? Is she just missing that gene. Their shiould be some sort of test that people pass to procreate.

Fast forward

Max's mother has lost it years ago. In the last year she has showed up at Max class at high school during his first month there and stood behind him while in class. Imagine your mother showing up during your freshman year of high school, I would have died.... She has woken him up with a super soaker. She has called him a columbine kid, a sociopath, Bi-polar, schizophrenic. Gail's most most recent idiotic activity was withholding his accutane while calling him pizza face. We spent countless hours pleading with doctors to give a new prescription. Did I mention she called the police because he didn't want to go to Church? She has managed to postpone the court case 3 times and the commissioner Shook has agreed. She has told her son that she doesn't want to look at him but she is never going to let him live with his father. Instead she is planning to financially ruin us, and its working. Today we learned Gail is protesting the removal of a Commissioner Shook. That another 2K we have to spend to have a judge removed who stated in open court that she knows how Bi-Polar children can lie because she has a bi polar son. The judge should step down herself! How can this stuff go on..... She has called him a loser in front of his Friends. His step father under oath when asked if he loved Max responded by saying "define love". This is an educated man, a Doctor! I guess they don't teach vocabulary in medical school.

This morning Max asked his mom why he wont let him go live with his dad. His mom responded by telling Max she would if Max's dad wasn't crazy. Since it's Tuesday and that is the day we spend with Max Dean picked up Max and took him to see his therapist that he has seen for 8 years. Gail texted Max to ask where he was and he told her with his dad. She texted Dean that she had plans and hoer it is her day and how inconsiderate he is. Dean has picked up Max every Tuesday for the last 14 years. Then she sent a text that she and her husband were ill so Dean had to keep Max all night. 5 minutes later she sent a text stated all of her husbands kids were over for the night and how Dean ruined her family evening. She makes up the stuff as she goes along.

The scary thing is she is a nurse if you are ever treated by Gail Henrick or Dr Eric Henrick RUN these two are nuts.

Several health care providers have told Dean and I they suspect Max's mother suffers from Borderline personality disorder. I think she is just evil.

Return from Christmas Visitation.

My husband and I have been struggling to get custody of my 15 year old step-son Max for more than one year. At the beginning of the school year in 2007 Max told his mother Gail Henricks) he wanted to live with his dad 50% of the time. It went downhill for Max right then and there. that night his mother threw out his clothes and told him that he had to get used to Kmart because that's where his step-mom (me) shops. She also added that she would kill his animals ( Max has several pets). Max called his father Dean crying. Dean went to pick up Max late in September of 2007. We all made a late night shopping trip to Kohl's (Kmart is far from the house) and Petco to get Max the things he needed. Max stayed with us for about 10 days until Gail decided to come get him.

After an upsetting fall of 2007 capped off by Max's Step father, Dr Eric Henricks straddeling Max in a bean bag chair and holding him down by the wrist so that they could have a calm conversation with him ( i dont know about you but I find it difficuklt to have calm conversations with peoiple while I am beign straddeled by a 6'4' man as he holds my wrist down) Gail finally agreed to let Max live with us 50% of the time beginning in January 2008. It sounded like she was finally putting her son first. Dean sent a letter to Gail and asked her to sign legal papers that he could file with the court to reflect the new custody agreement, Gail changed he mind.
