New experience

Last week, I was given 2 job offers but I would have to pass a background check.  I figured I wouldn't have any problems because I haven't ever been convicted of a crime.  As time went on, it dawned on me that I was on the State of Michigan Central Registry.  I called my husband's attorney because my attorney is useless and doesn't return any of my calls.  I asked her if this would show up on a background check for employment and she said yes.  I was furious.  I can't believe that this shit shows up in a criminal background check even though I haven't been convicted of a crime.  I called CPS to find out what would show up.  Apparently, I have been found to have neglected my children.  My children have always had clothes, food, shelter, water, and electric.  I made sure they were in school on time and rarely missed.  I took them to all of their doctor's appointments and dental appointments but because I had a mental illness that caused me to isolate some days and my husband took care of them when I was in that state of mind, I neglected my kids.  When I did isolate, my children always were able to come to me if they needed anything and I would get it for them but because I had a mental illness, I neglected my kids.  I am dumbfounded.  Now I can't pass a criminal background check for employment.  Here's the kicker!  I was asked to participate in a budgeting program because I was having financial difficulty paying my medical bills and my energy bills.  When I participated in this budgeting program, they found that I was $850 in the red every month.  Of that $850, I spend $650 in medical expenses and fuel for doctor visits.  Do you think they offered to help by giving me Medicaid or help reimbursing me more in mileage than they were?  Hell no, they want me to find a job, move closer to my husband's work, or trade in my Durango for a smaller car.  I am legally disabled by the Federal Government.  I don't have to work and they shouldn't be forcing me to work.  Period.  I will not move because the home I live in is my father's who passed away last year and his ashes are scattered in the back yard.  This property has been in the family for 5 generations.  I will not move.  Period.  I bought the Durango last September because it had 4 wheel drive and seated 7 people which was good for our family of 5.  Plus we don't have great credit and we have been paying this loan on time every time.  I will not ruin my credit for them.  If they have a problem with our finances, they should step up to the plate and offer their services instead of giving money to people who choose not to work and sit all day on their asses and do drugs and drink.  I am so sick of this shit.  I wish I could start an advocacy group for parents who are going through this.  I will someday when I know how to start.  If you ever read this and you know someone going through this, contact me.  I would love to help them.
