“Destiny is not always preordained. Life is about making choices. Our lives are the sum of all the choices we make, the bridges we cross, and the ones we burn. Our souls cast long shadows over many people, even after we are gone. Fate, luck, and providence are the consequence of our freedom of choice, not the determinants. When justice is served by following our principles, making good decisions brings us inner peace.”
― Judith Land, Adoption Detective: Memoir of an Adopted Child

― Neal Winsomer, Calling Out the Shadows: A Father's Stand Against the Current: Clarity over comfort. Transparency over secrecy. Structure over spin. Love over anger.

“I don't want revenge. I don't want to humiliate my ex-wife in front of others, and I don't want her to be in pain. I have no desire to out her narcissism, her toxic behaviors, the parental alienation, or any of the awful things she has done to distance me from my daughter. Not to her friends, her family, her coworkers, or anyone else in her life. I do want to out her actions, behaviors, and traits, and to highlight the patterns and the evidence to the courts. No one else. In making this situation right, I am focused on her being held accountable for what she has done, to those who can make the changes that need to happen when it comes to my daughter.”
