"My case" mentality in activism

One thing we must realize is that if we are only focused on personal cases, we will never unify and change anything.

We must overlook our own problems and attack the bigger picture. When media, lobbyists, legislators, politicians, general public, hears us complain from the stand point of "my case" they turn off. They are programmed to treat us like we are whiners, complainers, and worthy of having our children taken from us.

Much of what we go through personally can never be fixed. Even if legislation passes to protect parental rights (such as the amendment to the constitution we are currently lobbying for) we would still have to appeal the cases we have and try to force them to admit they made mistakes.

Im not saying this cannot happen, Im not saying it is impossible, but the reality is that we have to work together and "my case" mentality will never allow us to.......We must not only work towards saving our own children, but to save their children as well.......
