Tara never seen any signs of what her life was about to come to. What she thought was going to be a happily ever after marriage turned into a marriage from hell. She has endured emotional abuse and physical abuse from her husband and the SNOS Motorcycle club. She was often beaten by her husband and his mother because she tried to stand …show more content…
All she wanted was protection for her children. Mrs. Teller divorce from Mr. Teller has had a great mental effect on her. Every day she is reminded of what happened to members of the motorcycle club that either betrayed or were thought to have betrayed the club. The things that her mother in law did to her along with the threats from other members has her afraid to leave the house. She no longer trusts anyone with her children. Therefore, she does not take them to daycare. All my client wanted was a better life for her children. For them not to grow up in the mist of all the drugs, murders, prostitution, etc. that she had witnessed in the club. She loves her husband deeply and never wanted to leave him, but she feared for her children’s life. She witnessed things happen to other people children and knew hers were not an exception. Matter a fact their oldest son Able was kidnapped and taken to another country by the Mafia. Because the club felt that Tara’s loyalty was more important than her children’s lives she was harassed, beaten, and had everything taken away from her. She still has nightmares about the beaten that she received from her mother in law. This beaten caused her to have a miscarriage when she was four months

    On November 28, 2008 our office received a phone call from a distraught woman, her name was Karla Girroir. She stated her husband was in a severe car accident while driving their antique mobile home back to their house on Thanksgiving’s Eve. I listened carefully, documenting her every word as she sobbed out the facts regarding her husband’s condition. I offered to schedule an appointment as quickly as possible with Janice Fisher, our attorney. She advised me she was unable to come in because her husband had fallen into a coma and she needed to be by his side. I stayed late waiting for Janice to finish up with her other clients. I couldn’t get Mr. Girroir’s case off of my mind and I had to speak to her before I could go home. I discussed the case with Janice and she immediately called Mrs. Girroir, I acted as a translator between Janice and Mrs. Girroir as she spoke very little English and fluent Spanish. We were advised that Mrs. Girroir had no way of transportation for herself or her twin daughters to come into the office. So Janice offered to meet her at the hospital.…

    It is pure torture for a mother or father to see the man that took away from them, something that can never be returned, their child. “He walks the goddamn streets,” (103) Matt says. Matt did not think that the justice system would release a man like this on bail. This murderer is now tending to his daily routines without a care in the world, while the victims of his injustice helplessly watch.

    The first thing that comes to my mind after seeing the appearance of my client is that knowing that treating domestic violence victims requires specialized training even though many people believe that short term counseling and advocacy are what is necessary to successfully treat domestic violence victims, many times a long term approach needs to be taken in an effort to work through the abuse and to help victims to not get into future relationships that are abusive. These factors are essential in beginning sessions, most all victims of abuse have experienced emotional trauma as a result of being in an abusive relationship. Dealing with these issues takes time, and cannot be worked through in just a few sessions. After these issues have been…

    Sandy, a four-year old girl is being held in trail to publicly appoint and testify against the man who murdered her mother. Perry disagrees with this notion and indicates how this stressor can trigger so many suppressed memories and traumas. “He went on to describe the details of the murder (Tina witnessed), the girl’s hospitalization due to injuries she’d received during the crime, and her subsequent foster care placement” (Perry 33). It would be counterproductive for the justice system to make Sandy testify. They want to make her relive the moment she witnessed her mother die and when she almost lost her life. This indicates how the system see children as resilient and don’t acknowledge the long-term affect that children could undergo. Perry got the chance to have a session with her to begin the healing process. The process of therapy has been ignored because many believe that children bounce back, however Perry doubts this when he says; “Her progress was slow but steady” (Perry 56). Perry strongly believes that children are not resilient to traumatic experiences, however require a healing process that help cope with stress, memory, and…

    For this book analysis, I read the book A Piece of Cake by Cupcake brown. It is a memoir told by Cupcake about her life. She starts the book at age 11, when she was living a normal and pleasant life with her mother in San Diego. She was quite close to her along with her step father (who, at the time, she thought was her biological father), and her uncle. Then out of nowhere, she finds her mother dead in her room and her life is shaken into disaster. The court system had to turn both her and her brother over to her biological father whom she never met, instead of giving her to the man she was raised by. Her father then sent her to a foster home where she was raped and beaten constantly. When she first ran away, she met a prostitute and learned the trick of the trade. After repeating a process of running away and using hitchhiking and prostitution, and then getting sent back to the foster home where she continued to get beaten, she finally broke out for good and lived with her great aunt. She eventually got emancipated so that the system could no longer send her to anymore foster homes. Cupcake then turned to a life of gang banging, extreme alcoholism, and excessive drug use. After surviving a shooting at the age of 16, she vowed to god that she would leave the gang behind and she kept her word. As her life progressed and she moved from one place to another, the alcohol and drugs were nonstop. Although she maintained several steady jobs, she would always have to quit before they fired her for never showing up or being late because she was too messed up. After she got introduced to crack, her life became a living hell. Soon, she was a "trash-can junkie," indulging in as many drugs as she could find. When she woke up behind a dumpster one morning, scarcely dressed and more than near death, she admitted that she needed help. This is a non-fiction story and I chose to read this book because it looked interesting.…
