Timing, Sneaky Red Flag Omissions, & Contradictions = Bothersome Itchy Butt Bugg Buggin

i have an itchy bitchee flee bug up my butt to know the truth.

The timing of Shellie Rousch's motion for dismissal of the matter, in which she states the department had no concerns about Haven in Max's care, still does not sit well with me.

The motion to dismiss was filed on a Monday.

What bothers me is that on the Thursday immediately previous, the department filed a request for an emergency hearing to remove Haven from Max's care.

The emergency hearing was scheduled for the next day, Friday, but was cancelled, as Max had left where he'd taken renewed residence at his drug dealer/long-term girlfriend's house and returned to live w/his parents at 100 Lake Washington Boulevard.

Why would the department file a motion to dismiss that explicitly stated it had no concerns with Max

the very next business day after the emergency hearing to remove Haven from Max -that they'd requested- was scheduled???

How does the dismissal relate to the date Max told me via text that he had been "approved for housing," even though he hadn't yet submitted his application for FUP Voucher. How did he know he was approved for housing if he hadn't even applied yet?

Why didn't he date the application submitted until the next business day after the case was dismissed? 1 page is actually dated the same day as the dismissal hearing.

Why did Shellie want the matter dismissed before Max submitted the FUP application? Why did she ignore my request for it, and then hush-rush it to him while at the same time closing the case - because me no longer a client left me with little I could do or say about the situation because of lack of clienthood? Why give him the benefit when I was the one who obviously needed it and not him - I had iust expressed the exact issue in my email exchanges with her in the weeks immediately prior to our last messages.

What would have motivated her to ignore my request for the housing resource, then move to dismiss my matter without telling me about the motion or the order of dismissal, and then offer Max the housing assistance I so badly needed and specifically requested?

The emergency hearing that wasnt held was scheduled for 2/28. I learned about the FUP program and how to receive a referral for it on February 29, a Saturday. I wrote Shellie that same day, 2/29, asking for the referral. My email was sent before 6pm.

Shellie didn't write me back, though we'd been communicating back and forth about arranging a meeting, and she'd never failed to respond to anything I've sent her. so I followed up via email about a week later, again with no response. She must have filed her motion to dismiss on or very near to the very next Monday following my request, as the order is dated 3/24.

BIG FAT RED FLAG:

In a recent production from the department, the emails that Ms. Rousch and I had exchanged and the emails from me to her requesting the voucher were not produced, though the dismissal order was, along with other documents and emails from around that period of time.

The production was sent to me in installments, and I received a status email telling me to expect the next installment by a certain date, however, I didn't receive it by or on that date.

After a week or so, I contacted the office to check status and was told the department was just finishing searching for emails to produce. I was asked if I was looking for anything in particular. I said no. The production was received shortly after, within 48 hours, and was glaringly (to me) absent the email exchanges with Rousch about the FUP voucher. I did see 1 or 2 emails about coordinating Max's receipt of the FUP voucher I'd requested. Which is confusing as Max had 2 places to live, and I had 0. The voucher is for parents whose homelessness is a large part or the complete obstacle to their parenting of a child or children. I have copies of the emails sent to and received from Rousch that were absent in the production. Why were the emails that contained my request for the FUP voucher omitted from the production?

I have some bad news, it appears things with dad are not going as well as they would like. The department is filing an emergency motion to remove Haven from dad’s house. *sent to me by my attorney on 2/27.*

2/21 at 3:20pm (Fri.): Email from Shellie to me re coordination of a meeting in early March

2/24 at 7:49pm (Mon.): Responsive email from me to Shellie. I apologized for communication issues and tried to express myself in a relatable, fellow-human way without seeming pitiful:

Challenges have been abundant for me over the past few years, but I have not given up hope and continue on with an open mind, heart, and good intentions! I look forward to meeting you.

I was hoping to get her to look at my situation differently than she likely would with someone with no face or personality, a number in an endless, pointless, hopeless system of numbers.

2/26 at 4:53pm (Wed.): Shellie sent me an email re meeting, she asked if I could meet the

following week. Her message was part of a string of emails between us where I genuinely attempted to establish a relationship with her as a desperate effort to be in my son's life after fruitlessly attempting to make sense of and appeal to the ruthlessly cold, callous, miserable, smiling, manipulating carcasses of Max and his family, who are completely devoid of.....something that is warm and heart and hope, that earns trust and lends fond character. Something that most of us have somewhere which ties empathy with the experience of love/ bond of friendship or family/ deep affection for something or someone as they are - as they exist separate from and uninfluenced by us. It causes us to make decisions out of loyalty, honor, respect, duty, honesty, in the name of true and just causes - the Greater Good and the Better Than Best; to act as samaritans and martyrs, to give up our seat on the bus in the heat of summer after a bad day at work for a young child and their mother. It makes for "good guy" decisions, creates soft in personalities where there would otherwise be an infinity of coarseness and jail-carved shanks sharply shanked to the spleen-this ability to relate to, empathize with, and give intangible value to this bond.

Any and all of anything like that is what is profoundly nonexistent in my son's father, his mother, and stepfather. They have never once displayed or even feigned an expression of polite empathy, of false concern for Haven's life with and then suddenly without his mother, they never have pretended to care about the effect of their decisions on him, they've never even bothered to tell me why they initially fostered, and then opposite-fostered (opp-fost) my relationship with my son. They have dedicated an (to me) unthinkable amount of time to conspiring against me - actually coordinated and attended the prearranged family meetings that they held in the evening around Haven's bedtime, clandestinely and secret from me (when I lived in the same house), that I've walked in at the commencement of.

They've sat together and plotted against me - strategized slander campaigns, discussed scenarios, decided the most believable potential defenses for their sketchy/ illegal/ harassing-stalking-defaming/ conspiring to and actually actively recruiting others to join their illegal harassing-stalking-defamation cause. Max and I lived in a car together; he used to fall asleep listening to an audiobook of The Art of War, and there were exact strategies I heard in that audiobook that I quickly recognized as ones these people clearly put into action against me.

2/27 (Thurs.): Email from my attorney: The department [Shellie] is filing an emergency motion to remove Haven from dad’s house... Attorney says try to attend emergency hearing the next day, Friday, 2/28.

2/28 (Fri.): Emergency hearing to remove Haven from Max is cancelled because Max stopped living with Haven at residence of Gretchen Green - Max's mentally disturbed drug dealer-girlfriend [previously] located in Kirkland, WA.

2/29 at 5:33pm (Sat.): At 11:51am, Brannden Francisco with Seattle Housing sent me an email with specifics on qualifications necessary for a Housing program I'd never heard of, and it sounded like I had finally found a resource that was real and could help my son and I!:

The Family Unification Program. Basically, you had to be homeless, and lack of a home needed to be a large obstacle to parenting your child[ren].

Brannden told me that in order to access this program, I had to ask my "caseworker," Shellie, to approve and submit my case for a recipient referral. I viewed Brannden's email a few minutes before I replied with a thank you message at 5:33pm.

2/29 at 5:35pm (Sat.) (2 min.'s after my thank you was sent to Seattle Housing's Brannden F.): I responded to Shellie's Wednesday end-of-business-day email re: scheduling. I asked Shellie about the Family Unification Program I had just learned about:

I also recently found out that I should request a FUP Housing Choice Voucher from you... Is that something you can help me with?

Shellie had always responded to my messages within 48 hours. I'd been corresponding with her for over 1/2 year. I never heard from Shellie after that message.

I did follow up on my 2/29 email and her silence on March 9. Shellie didn't respond, not even to tell me she'd filed for a dismissal of my matter.

3/24: Order dismissing matter issued. Shellie had signed the dismissal motion documents. The date of this issuance indicates Shellie must have filed the documents about 3 weeks prior. Around the beginning of March.

3/24: Release of HMIS info for housing services signed by Max.

3/25: My attorney emailed me to let me know about the order of dismissal.

3/26: FUP HUD voucher application signed by Max.

Email to me from Seattle Housing

My email to Shellie asking for the FUP voucher

An email I sent to Shellie on January 23: "...I'm so sorry about my inability to commit to an appointment time...

It's really, really hard out here on my own. Every day I feel like I'm closer to re-establishing a safe, comfortable living situation for my family and I....

Everything would be very different for me if I had [a stable place to go that I could stay at long enough to] settle in and clear my head..."
