I want to thank everyone who has contacted me on UTH for Members Only. I am feeling better after being ill for a few days. As any of you know, I have VERY strong feelings about my children and want them to succeed and be happy. When something is amiss with them, I go hysterical. My husband and I have worked hard to make them productive and happy. And if one of them is not, I blame myself and am very hard of myself for this. There is no other stronger love than that for my children. I will do anything and everything, bear the consequences to help them and to save them if they are in trouble. Blood is thicker than water believe me and a parents first instinct is to protect their children and do WHATVER is necessary to point them on the right path.

Back in the colonial days, parents of wayward children would literally give their adolescent teens over to the U.S. Navy where they would have to sail for months at a time and learn how to fire the cannons. One such example of this is the U.S. Constitution in Boston also known as “Old Ironsides.” Many children sailed that ship and died because the parents felt the child was out of control and needed discipline.

Today our choices are a lot more limited. In fact this week, I made two poor choices, one with a family member and another with my attending the Cheshire Police Department Ride Along and the Citizens Academy.

I have received a letter from the Police Chief questioning some of the statements I made regarding that ride along. The statement in question came from a motor vehicle stop and the issuance of a ticket for expired registration to the driver. There was an “insinuation”  made by the Chief of a “sample”that was mentioned in my post . I am sorry for the poor choice of words.

I know the various departments read my posts and speak among themselves. That is part of life. Unfortunately for myself, what started out as just another town to live in, ended up being more than that. I ended up being for lack of a better word, “dragged into the fray” by my husband who was already policitically active in Cheshire when I first moved here in the mid-80′s

Many feelings I have had towards our Police Department I felt in my heart were justified. But over the years, I have had to come to grips with the fact that many of the issues that brought about these bad feelings were brought on by both parties. I am not saying the other side was totally right, but in all honesty, I started some of the issues and then saw it just spiral out of control. I saw things from a different prospective when I first moved here. I came from a different culture so to speak and where I lived there were certain ways of speaking and driving and just living, that were acceptable where I was from were not tolerated here.

Make no doubt about it, my motives are always sincere, but have gotten misconstrued by some. When I have to read on other peoples blogs what are her real motives ( as if it is something sinister) it makes me sad because there aren’t any believe it or not.

Over the years I have put up a wall between my self and the Cheshire Police Department. A wall that may have been built too high and too strong. This wall can never come down as long as I live in this town.

You see, when I speak to a CPD officer or official I wonder what THEIR motives are. I have felt they have overreacted on some issues and that it was done on purpose.

So again, I apologize for any misunderstanding and I am deleting the Ride Along Post. But I am NOT attending any more Citizens Police Academy sessions. I always prided myself on being accurate. I still do.

But is it ok for some to trash me on other peoples blogs like the comment” I wonder what her motives are? I wonder where that comment now came from? Both sides are suspicious, both sides need to do some “deleting”

Better yet, stay out of my way and I will stay out of yours!!!
