Friday, August 9th, 2013 Dear Judge H. Frank Revoir, Hello, I am writing to let you know what has been going on since the last court date. Things had started out going great until my sister Crystal Decker had contacted my cousin Nicole Beecher which was the one; I was paying gas to for picking me up to get my daughters Maya and Shania. Nicole Beecher was also the one in the court room as well. Since then I no longer have anything to do with her since she was playing both sides. She had said things to my sister about me that she shouldn’t of due to there are an order of protection. That was using a third party. In the one attachment is of what my mother wrote and had lied to DSS to make me lose any assistance I was getting. She blames others when it’s in black and white in her own hand writing. I do support them if I didn’t why would I get a bigger and better place for them. I got a brand new place not just for myself but also for my daughters. My mother wanted me to just get a one bedroom but I wouldn’t do to I think about my daughters all the time and want them home where they belong. I have also gotten both of my daughters their own dresses to wear in be in the wedding party of my wedding. When I could of made my mother do it since she has placement but I didn’t. My daughters have fun here and love it here. I even let them paint their own bedrooms the way they wanted them to be. My daughters are my life. I do not go out and have any fun with friends or spend money at fairs, festivals when I have other important things to put my money on towards bills and a home. I pay my bills and I also budget every single penny I get the best way I can. My mother Claudia also keeps telling me that if I petition the courts on my daughters to get them back and more visitations that I will go to jail when you have told me I can petition again etc. She has also had kept saying that if I kept petitioning that the system would take my daughters from us both just to scare me to not fill another petition against her. If I didn’t care or live my daughters as a mother why in the heck would I waste time and money etc. It is now fourteen years to get them back etc. She still does not go by the court order no matter what. I have even paid for her gas to bring them to me and she still doesn’t even help to make it easier on all of us. She rather allows a 22 year old to run all over her and take over the home. Also my daughters both have their own cell phone and I do not have their numbers so I can speak to them without others butting it or interfering They both also have a Facebook account as well they have me blocked due to their aunt Crystal and their Grandmother Claudia . They are keeping things from me when I have all right to know what is going on with my daughters. Heck I do not even have their information to keep track of their account to make sure they are not doing things they aren’t to be doing. My oldest Maya is always with her aunt Carol. Who also doesn’t go by a court order, she also is one whom has been in the court room many times to see and hear what is said etc. Carol has Maya thinking and believing that her cousins are her brothers when they aren’t. When I have asked my Maya to add me back onto her Facebook account. She says that she blocked for two months in send request which I know darn well that they do not do that for that long period. When I ask Shania she also gives me just about the same thing but says she is blocked for a week. They are being told not to have me on their Facebook accounts. My mother is scared and worried that I will see and find out things that she doesn’t want me to know about. I have been doing so much to get along with my mother along with the rest of the family but they do not even try to get along with me unless there is something they are getting back in return which is money or me to put money into their place etc. I am not made of money. I am attending a full time college online for Criminal Justice and working part time from home. Since my car accident back on June 29th 2009, am unable to return back to work outside the home due to the injuries. I was on my way to work at Price Chopper when I was hit in the crosswalk in Norwich. I had walked all over working for The Evening Sun for almost six years. I also have been trying my best to have a mother and daughter relationship with my mother for many years and no matter what she always turns against me and treat me like am not even her child. She also continues to allow her last child Crystal to cause problems with everyone. Before Crystal was even born it was Carol doing it. My mother would also threaten me and get right up into my face along with the whole family. They gain up on me and attack me not physically but also mentally, emotional. When I was living in Norwich I had helped put food into Claudia’s home not just for my daughters but for all of them. I had also put thousand dollars onto her heat, cook bill so they would have heat in the home for winter and cooking fuel to cook with. I had also paid a down payment and installation fees for them to have a satellite dish hooked up so they would have television and internment with three hook ups for the bedrooms, living room. I do not live in that home or use any of they so why should I have to be responsible for that home including my own. My mother gets SSI for herself and her husband. Along with the money that my oldest daughter Maya gets on survivors benefits from her father’s death and life insurance money as well. Since her father had her on his life insurance policy. Back in August of last year when my mother freezer had dead on her I had helped her get a brand new one from Olum’s by making a down payment on it so they would have it for food. But when I need a little help in return they make it where I have to pay out more to them than them helping me as a family should do for each other etc. They had helped me move into my new home but now since they have seen it and they also had wanted me to help them get a newer home since I have good credit. They were told by the dealership that there is no way I could since I was not living in the home. Plus When I was living at home growing up my money had went to paying on the place that they are living in now. They have also threatened to make sure I lose my home. Nicole Beecher had also had made many threats to me as well. I have kicked her out of my life. I do not keep people around who do me wrong or mistreat me and my kids. No matter how much money they may have. My safety along with my daughters is more important than having friends or anyone in my life that is going to do me wrong including other family members as well. No one that I have had contacted to help me with transport me and my kids will not do it due to the way my family are towards me and towards them. They do not want any part of it. When I have had a person or a friend I know well my family gets to them and causes problems. So with that said I would like it to be changed in the order that my mother is to do the transporting. That I’m to get them every weekend instead of every other weekend etc. During the summer months every other week from Sunday to Sunday than back with me full time. They also have others staying with them that are unfit to be around my daughters as well. My mother has complained to me about the person and so has her husband that they want the person gone. But since it’s a friend of Crystal’s they let her stay and allow Crystal to run the place when it is not her place. The family only gets along with me when I have money to blow and to help them. I will not allow them to use me or take advantage of me. I have to support myself and my daughters. That is my life and my family. I shouldn’t have to support a whole another house and me go without. They do not help me in the same way in return so why should I put money into a home that I do not live in. Let long help my mother continue to keep my daughters from me. I did not have kids for another person to take from me. They are my responsible. How am I to be a mother or a parent to my daughter if they are being kept from me over whose better than the other etc. They are keeping my kids from me and not let me have them back full time is due to the money my daughters bring into that home. Am asking for things to get done more than what they have been. I shouldn’t have to keep taking my mother to court to get my daughters back etc. But since she does not want to be mature and adult enough to do what is to be done when it comes to my daughter and them having their parents in their life to have a relationship with their parents. All because my mother had failed in doing what was right with me when I was a child doesn’t mean she can make up for it by taking my kids. There is a whole lot more but I be here forever writing a book to you. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, April Kenyon  Also was written before I had gotten married! https://www.facebook.com/notes/april-m-burkholder/letter-i-had-wrote-to-chenango-county-family-court-judge-friday-august-9th-2013/10154072247253673
