My name is Dan'yelle Molina-Albritton, and I am the mother of five beautiful daughters. They are my entire world. I have done, and will continue to do, everything in my power to protect them. Not just physically, but emotionally and mentally, too.
In 2021, I went through a difficult divorce from my ex-husband, the father of my four youngest girls. We were together for 14 years, and legally married for 13. Throughout that entire time, not once did he question my parenting because he didn't have to. In fact, he entrusted me so much as a parent that I was a stay at home mom for over five years, fully dedicated to raising our daughters; to be strong, smart, resilient young women. But now, suddenly, he uses every court appearance to question my character, make false allegations, and defame me as a mother.
Why now? Why only after the divorce? Why only when I stand up to protect our daughters? Why must I have to fight to prove that I am a good mother?
Since the divorce, he has repeatedly manipulated and pushed for changes to the original court-ordered parenting plan. Each time he takes me to court, I'm left defending myself against lies. Completely alone, and without any legal counsel or help. Every time he corners me legally, I am expected to comply out of fear, not justice, simply because I can't afford a lawyer...and he knows this and I feel he uses this against me.
My 16 and 14 year old daughters steadily refuse to go to his home for visitations due to traumatic experiences that have been happening consistently since 2021, some of the same experiences that they endured during the course of our marriage. Yet, I'm told I must force them to go, regardless of the emotional and mental toll it's taking on them.
I've reached out for help to CPS, to therapists, teachers, counselors, you name it. They have spoken up. My girls have spoken up. But nothing changes. Every time I have to appear in court, I leave feeling unheard, unseen, and like I've failed the very people I'm trying so hard to protect; my daughters.
I have never tried to sever their relationship with their father. I have only ever fought for one thing: a healthy, respectful, and safe connection between them. But forcing children into fear, pain, and silence is not healthy.
This has taken a huge and devastating toll on all of us. I live with constant anxiety, fearing retaliation of yet another court summons. I have no power to fight, because I have no legal representation. So today, I am begging. Please... if you can find it in your heart, please help me raise the funds to hire a strong, compassionate legal team. Someone who will fight for me. Who will fight for my daughters. Who will finally help us be heard.
I'm not here asking for a handout, I'm asking for a fighting chance; to protect my girls and to finally put an end to the fear and the silence.
The smallest donation or even a simple share could help bring peace and justice to our lives.
Thank you so much for reading. Thank you so much for caring. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
