A New Beginning

     It's so amazing the different turns and obstacles life brings. My name is Tasneem.I am a 34 year old mom of 4 amazing kids. They are not amazing just because they are smart, respectful,and caring. They are amazing because at such young ages, life obstacles were brought to them as well as myself. I have 2 girls and 2 boys. Girls are first ages 18 and 13. Boys are ages 10 and 9.

     I am a single mom. Not that I choose to be. Now with that being said I do work from home. I always felt that my place should be at home with my kids. On the same token bills still have to be paid and the kids needs all the time. Being the only provider, yes the bills and kids needs have to be taken care of. I always put me last.

     Now that you know a little bit about me, lets get on with my kids and my new beginning. About 12 years ago I started what I  thought would be my forever. Yes that would be my boys father. So charming this man was. So thoughtful. Completely swept me and my girls off our feet. I can honestly say yes when it came to love I was very nieve when I was younger. I had no guidance when it came to relationships.

     Whatever he wanted from me,I gave. For instance he wanted me to be a stay at home mom. That was fine with me. Give me more time with my girls. I made sure by the time he got home from work the house was clean, food cooked,kids homework done and bathed. Yes he would give me money for my pockets. (Although sometimes he would take it back). I was still happy at this point.

      A year into the relationship I started to see a little bit of a difference with him. He started to yell at me for stupid things. I would just think ok it's his job. Wasn't money cause we was getting by ok. Wasn't love making. So yeah the job. I just let it roll of my shoulder.

     Within that first year we had our son. Year after that our second son. By the time after our second son was born, it was no longer just verbal it had become physical. I didn't have any family to go to. I didn't want to break up my family that I did have either.The kids loved him and don't forget I said he was charming. So when he made up he would go all out.

      It wasn't just abuse. I couldn't tell him nothing.The next person could tell him exactly what I told him but it didn't matter when I said it. Remember I said it was the job? Well come to find out the guy he was working for was taking the employees checks of $!700 pocketing that money and then cutting his employees a check for $400 weekly. I been told him his boss was on a scam. He didn't listen. He was to busy listening to his boss tell him he was about to be rich. Well instead if riches, his boss fired him.

     Now steps are being taken to get his boss because he wasn't the only employee he did like that. He go to people that his boss worked for.Of  course they were very upset so they offered him $50,000. He didn't take the offer! He told them he was going to sue the employer and have him to pay him. When he told me this I thought I was going to die!!

     Ok so the lawyer was found and even people from State law enforcement gets involved. Now here is the killer. My ex was so trying to get his ex-employer that he didn't cared who he hurt to get him. I was very supportive but very upset at the same time. He never listened to me and he knew this man wasn't paying him what he was suppose to along time before he act like he found out. His abuse got worst and I couldn't take it.

     We separated for 6 weeks. One day I get a knock at the door. It was just the boys and me at  home at the time. I open the door and I'm presented with guys with badges asking me who else was in the house and what is my name? They took my boys who are now 4 and 5 out the house and escorted us to a tinted window car. 3 other cars followed. I'm constantly asking what's going on! I get to this building and they take us to a room. A man comes in ask me my name and asked did I know my ex? Yes I tell them. So now I'm thinking what happened to him. They tell me he was in front of a GRAND JURY giving testimony!

     All the while I'm thinking it had to do with the ex-employer but it didn't. My ex decided to be a snitch. Apparently he told the "PEOPLE" if they help him get his ex-employer, he would get this guy they been wanting for years. He knew this guy since they were kids!!! So guess what now my kids and I have to enter a re locating program. He told the "PEOPLE" he wanted just $5000 and to be relocated! Yeah they relocated us and $2000 had to go for hotels. We had to leave our 5 bedroom house for this.

      Now they never get the employer and his lawyer took a bribe from the employer. Everything that happened I told him was happening like the "PEOPLE" would have gave him more money and that the lawyer took a bribe. So he did all this for what?  It's so much more to this story. I will continue to give more parts to it. Thanks for reading.
