Dear friends and FAM, to date no one has taken time to ask my side of the tragedy unfolding. Save josh vermilion, rick Johnston, Ernie Campbell, lois lehman and a small band of new friends here in MT. So, I wish to share what transpired on April 17th... Serandon and bertha were engaged in an escalating argument in our camper. Inadvertantly two large cans of herdez salsa had been loaded in amongst camping supplies. Serandon was attempting to keep Bertha from rifling through the packed camping tubs. In February we had begun the process of revamping our 5th wheel camper. By April we had opted to prepare for a birthday camping trip for whole FAM. As the day approached for us to depart Bertha opted to stay home. Her reason was she thought it would be too cold. Kenny, Steven, Acea, Serandon Blake, jori, Elise and I all agreed we should go regardless. Besides making it a camping trip we added a scenario. Per homeland security Americans are encouraged to create evac plans in the event of natural disaster, terrorism, or war. We decided to pack as if this was an evac drill. So, we were loaded with all gear necessary to survive in the wilderness. For months we all had discussed what it would take to "move the herd." On 4/17 Bertha enraged and the missing salsa was the catalyst. She exclaimed she was going to destroy the camper so we could not go. She launched the two cans at the picture window to break bit. At which point I exclaimed I would not get angry. I then approached her to grab her wrists. She hit me in the jaw. I then embraced her in a bear hug. She was able to grab a large bread knife and a butcher knife. Which she used to slice my upper left hand. Bleeding, I held on yelling out for help and to call the sheriff. Jori and Steven entered and assisted me in subduing her. Jori dislodged one knife. Steven the other. Blake entered and all four of us wrestled her out of the camper. Outside Steven and jori held her down whereupon she violently bit Steven puncturing his flesh. Eventually the sheriff arrived and she was cuffed. They asked if I wanted to file charges. I declined. Instead we agreed for her to be checked by pathways mental facility. The next day the pathways doctor advised us to continue our camping plans. We opted to get away and camp. Initially that was to be only until that Sunday. That would change when Kenny would bring Bertha out on Sunday. By then I realized my marriage was over. I had reflected back over events and concluded there was something terribly wrong. That Sunday Bertha would decide to attempt to take the youngest three without consent. Kenny attested he was not going to allow that even though he allowed the kids to be held in my truck by Bertha. Jori Dismantled the battery and took the keys from Kenny. Bertha tried to bite jori as he was behind her in the back seat tryingn to reach over her to unlock the door. I talked Kenny down for what seemed like an eternity. While steven and blake also tried to talk bertha into releasing tanah and zebina. Finally Kenny did persuade Bertha to release them. Only after I demanded he get the kids out. At which point ren exclaimed "that is not my mother." That second altercation also included me burning a turkey dinner Bertha brought out. All of us saw that the pumpkin pies were a strange orange color. Yes, I feared for our health. Her assault on me and Serandon had me wary of her intentions. Bertha attests to date that she only threw the salsa can at the window. Even though Serandon and I saw the can launched directly at serandon in rage. This second episode would make me decide to stay camping longer. By law you can camp 14 days in one location. Then you can move 5 miles minimum and camp another 14 days. I highly considered this for I realized Bertha needed help I could not provide. And I did not want the children around her until such help was provided. CPS would become involved because of an out of state family member. Someone I now have forgiven but have no desire to see again. Betrayal is a strong motivator for shunning. This family member acted in good conscience but without possessing all the facts. Prior to our departure I left Bertha a memorial to her life. On our bed I placed memorabilia of her life. Cards, pictures, gear and two notes. Note one said I forgave her violence towards me. It also requested her to contact her cousin and deal with his indiscretion of raping her at a young age multiple times. I told her that would bring healing of her pent up rage. The second note said if she could not do that, our marriage was over. No longer would I be able to endure the pent up rage. Bertha would tell me she burned those letters. On Sunday when she visited the campsite she had no recollection of the content. I realized there that our marriage was over. Sadly she did not know that Serandon, Blake, jori , and Elise had read the two letters when we prayed prior to our departure. On 4/25 CPS and Bertha, Kenny, Steven, Acea and USFS officers arrived at Abbott bay campground. They cuffed me for my safety. As they loaded the kids and took my personal guns. A USFS officer left one gun for me unbeknownst to the lead officer. We were in grizzly bear country. He told me later he disagreed with what transpired. By court order the children were taken away. Taken to a woman who needs help. She maintains that I am mentally unstable. Her reasons are that I believe the world is coming to an end. That Freemasons are desiring me and the family harm. That I was attempting to disappear into the wilderness and never return. The bible clearly explains that a final seven years ends the current age. Therefore all christiansnare "mentally unstable." Secondly, Freemasons have literally threatened our family with assassination. That is what preempted our move from AZ to MT. Thirdly, it is true I have always maintained that one day Christians at large would have to hide from the coming Antichrist because of revelation 20 warning of pending beheading of Christians. Abbott bay campground is far from remote. Daily 10 to 20 boaters and fishermen would visit the bay. We were camped out in the open. Again, I was considering camping for up to 28 days. I wanted time to ascertain what to do. Sadly, outside family would change that. Never will I forget that day. Madeline and I were on a birthday canoe ride when the caravan of officers arrived demanding I come to shore. After that fateful day, Serandon and I were alone to pack up all the gear and haul two trailers with one truck in under 24 hours. That was the USFS demand or face arrest and federal prison! By grace we made it. But we left the camper, opting to take all the kids gear in the small trailer. We moved to glacier park to tent camp. On the following Monday we were allowed to return to retrieve camper. There we found the camper ravaged. Bertha had sent Steven and jori to gather belongings. To date they attest the mess we found was not by their hand. For the next 60 days I would live out of camper, then truck, and friends couches as I worked to rebuild my company and secure a home. On 6/28 I was blessed with a home. During this time Bertha filed an interim parenting plan. On July 1st I was advised I could get a copy from the court. Bertha refused to give me a copy. On the first I picked up my own copy. It was signed into effect on may 30th. In it I am given the right to see my kids while supervised by someone Bertha must approve. Her approval is necessary only because of her assertion and opinion I need mental counseling. Surprisingly I am stipulated by this plan to see the kids at my residence on alternating weekends and Wednesdays. Bertha never told me about Wednesdays! So for 30 days she kept the kids from me against court order! On fathers day many are aware of Bertha assaulting Serandon. Serandon filed charges that day. Currently the county attorney is processing that incident. What few know is that Kenny and berths have repeatedly called the sheriff to prevent Serandon from gathering her belongings. They had also allowed Steven and Acea to use serandons bedroom and belongings without serandons permission. Coupled with this is Berthas refusal to allow me access to my contractor tools. Under threat of sheriff involvement should I ever set foot on the property! Praise the father in Heaven for a family member laonee money to purchase 5000.00 worth of new tools. To secure a new home and stabilize finances a christian brother was led to loan me 8000.00. My new company is gaining momentum. And what a joy to have a home and a modicum of stability again. I miss my children and long for a new court hearing to revisit my visitation. I filed a contempt of court affidavit on July first. Bertha has failed to follow its directives. As have I. It stipulates providing financial assistance. To date I have not made much income. By Julys end I should see income stabilizing. Then I can remedy my inability to meet the plans demands. Whereas Bertha can not redeem the time she took away from the kids and I. If you wish to know more, have the courage to contact me. If you opt to not contact me, follow proverbs and be a person of FEW words. Shalom
