Dr. Lee, you are such a wonderful sister — I just had to pause for a moment to say that. I truly wish I had even half a sibling like you. Unfortunately, I haven’t been that lucky. I come from an extremely abusive family, and my own siblings — my brothers — stabbed me in the back one by one … in addition to my ex-husband, of course. I have no sister. I’ve removed them all from my life, one by one, and—strangely or perhaps paradoxically—I feel so much better and more at peace now. My only regret is not having done it sooner. I love my children deeply; they are all the family I have now, and they are all that truly matter.

But back to what I was saying… I really do wish I had even half a sibling like you! I love your work and your guts of steel. May God bless you, strengthen you, and protect you always!

Go you! I have been following this since the beginning. I love your passion and drive. These Judges need to be taught a lesson. They are destroying ppls actual lives and killing them. I too advocate in Australia and raise awareness. It’s the same here. Keep going with your timeline. There will never be a good time. It only gets worse and ppl become more incapacitated as time goes on. Believe me, I know. There are ppl who have sat on their hands and done nothing for decades just allowing this to continue. It needs to stop now. Brava xxx I am with you always.

Happy Mother’s Day-

Attaching above a link to a petition above that echos many of the things I have personally experienced myself over the last 10 years in San Francisco Family Court trying to keep myself and my daughters alive and safe-

And we are still not free and facing another 2 years of abuse, deprivation and threat of prison if we make any move to defend ourselves or better our circumstances (until my youngest turns 18, May 2027) that has already resulted in bankrupting me, making us homeless 3x via 3rd party, (4th time pending likely June), putting me in the hospital for a stroke 2017, resulting ongoing similarity lethal blood pressure regularly 180/120, now without access to health care for myself and also recently my ex Charlie cutting off my oldest daughter’s health insurance in retaliation for her asserting her rights under HIPAA and FERPA-while she has serious ongoing health issues needing Rx and access to doctors, depriving me of any ability to rebuild my career- and more.

So on behalf of myself and every other mother who continues to suffer at the hands of systemic family court institutional murder and human rights abuses-

I urge you to consider adding your name to the attached petition, in the absence of my ability to bring the same against equally offending SF Family Court Judges and court personnel, who I have witnessed first-hand doing the same to myself, and other SF mothers and children in public court, ongoing, over the last decade.

We as a community affected need to start legislation that makes these Judges accountable…in Mapp vs Ohio (1961) the US Supreme Court ruled that ALL Judges are responsible for securing the Constitutional rights of all litigants inside of their courtrooms. Even if subversively concealed in the often flowery rhetoric of even more narcissistic psychopath lawyers who get off taking everything a couple worked for so they can turn an extra buck. Not all Judges are bad but the activist Judges are breaking Federal Law. 28USC144 specifically makes it a crime for a Judge to be biased and 28USC455 says those Judges are to recuse themselves. I say flood the system with bar complaints, appeals, Federal cases, and social media podcasts. Judges need to understand that the law is our right and applies to them. “No one gets away with anything…Ever” - Jordan Petersen.

Your sister needs to be well first and foremost for her children. You too to support her. Don't let this destroy you both. File complaints about the judge, the system, procedures.
