Bessie Hudgins
Bessie is the mother of two sons, two step sons and a step daughter. She has fifteen grandchildren of which only six of them are with both parents.
She comes from not only a broken home, but one that had neither parent. She was adopted into a bad situation and at the age of fifteen ran away from home.
She was unable to get a grip on her childhood and wondered through life making mistake after mistake...until one day she woke to a new day. She began to put the pieces of her childhood behind her and decided to learn from all she had been through.
At the age of fifty she found herself in a battle helping her son regain his children...A battle that 10 years later is still being fought. Bessie is the founder and president of Three Sides to Every Story, Inc. She started this organization in hopes of helping to change a system that rips families apart and turns children into something totally different then they were meant to be.
Bessie's goal for Three Sides is a very simple one...Put the children first. Make it your top priorty to allow your children access to both sides of their family if you find you can't make the union work.
You must never hate your ex more then you love your child(ren).
Three Sides has sponsored several events...but none she is more proud of then DCRally2007. Working with Ron Smith and Stephen Walker was a pleasure. Since the passing of Ron Smith the memories are even more precious.
Onward we move towards unity for our nations children of divorce and their families.
God Speed! Vice President
 
Don Hutter, Jr.
I would like to introduce Don Hutter, Jr. of Colorado.
He is coming to our board with a desire to help change our system for the betterment of children of divorce.
Don is the father of a beautiful daughter he has not seen in over nine years.
Don is disabled which gives the system an excuse to keep him and his daughter apart by using the disability against him and his daughter...
We chose this picture of Don on the right which was taken at DCRally2007 when at our closing on Sunday afternoon...Don allowed us to cut his pony tail which he had been growing since the last time he saw his daughter. Don grew this pony tail and cut it to show his love for his daughter. The pony tail was donated to Locks of Love in honor of his daughter. Don has a desire to help change our system to better serve all children...as well as his own daughter...and to help people see that disabled does not mean unable to love and care for their children.
I met Don while at a republican convention in Memphis, Tn. He was helping to set up a radio show that was going to broadcast from the convention. I felt the warmth of his honest and
genuine soul...and he has never disappointed me.
Don's love for his daughter and his need to help change our system are closely knitted in his heart. He works day and night on projects that are moving in the right direction to help make the changes necessary to help reunite millions of children with one or both of their parents and all of their extended family.
The following is in Don's own words.
Amen, to you my friends...
Never give up on anything you Love!
I'm still crying to this day 9 years later, and my Daughter will soon be 16 years old... The last year I saw my Daughter, we went to Disney Land for her 7th. birthday and the last day I saw my Daughter was the day after my Daughter and I had spent almost the entire weekend at my Daughter's teacher's house for an all weekend "Back to School, Meet and Greet Party", while my Wife, her mother was out of town... Planning our families demise for life!
Oh Dear God, how I miss both my Daughter, my wife and my 2 best friends!!!
I suppose that makes me a wimp... Then again - Maybe that does not make me a wimp at all!
Maybe, I'm just "still" a Loyal, Faithful, God fearing all American!!
Joined by another 100,000 who I dearly hope read this all - Ready to Stand Up with Me!
"We The People" are starting to learn and re-evaluate and now we must develop new values & new priorities for ourselves and our children... And I feel like our number 1 priority must be based on fairness to all... To include, but, expressly not limited to: "Loving Our Innocent Children Who Are Helpless And Need Both Parents"!
I feel strongly as though we must shape a new set of values, priorities and guidelines for many generations to come... And it is now our job to make change. It has become "Our Duty" as we are now the Parents Responsible for all of the next generations to come... And I whole heartedly agree that we are stuck with a rotten, twisted mess that maybe we, our generation should not have to be dealing with now?!
However, We are now "Parents, Grandparents, fully mature Adults" with children of our own who we know are indeed "Our Responsibility"
Now, we must apply all the things we learned while growing up... `Many of which "we now know" are and were "Very Wrong, Incorrect and/or Abusive" and this knowledge which we all have as parents is now the set of tools we have been provided to build change and a better life for all of our future generations to come... We do have the knowledge and we do know "What is Best!'
Thank you fo allowing me to voice my viewpoint...
God Bless Each and Every One of You!
"We Must Become: United - And Never Divided!"
Yours in the fight my friends!
Respectfully,
Don jR.

Shelly Barrreras
Shelly Barreras comes to us from New Mexico. She and her husband Steve fought and won a case against Steve's ex over a child she claimed Steve fathered. He was paying child support for a child that did not exist.
Shelly and I also met in Memphis while at the Republican convention. Shelly is the lady In the picture on the left, she is in the back row on the far right.
Shelly and her need to help clean up our system seemed to be a perfect fit for our organization. When asked, she
graciously excepted to join our board...I knew we were on our way to bringing change to our un-family courts. Director
 
Katrina Daniel Lee
Katrina Daniels Lee is a mother of 4 children who is a severely alienated parent. She has been going through alienation for approx. 7 yrs now. She presently has been able to maintain a relationship with one child age 13. Her other 3 children have been poisoned by the mistruths and involvement of a hostile divorce process from her ex which has slowly and methodically taken an emotional hold on them.
Katrina states ” I know what it is like to be a "Targeted Parent". The parent who is no longer there to tuck her children in at night, or give them a hug or a kiss to let them know how much they are loved and missed. Missing the chance to help them choose their first prom dress, or to hold them close and comfort them when they cry, and need you the most. To hear their silly laughs and see their beautiful smiles, to watch them run around and play; these are all the things I have missed out on as an "Alienated Parent". I know what it is like to mourn everyday that you can't feel your child's touch, or smell that special smell in their hair, to cry each night because you can't stand not being with them as you were before....this is a mourning process that never ends.”
Since going through all of this, Katrina is the Founder of The lee P.A.S. Foundation, which is a non profit organization, and is on the board of Directors for another non-profit org. for Parental Alienation as well pertaining to extended family members that have been severed as a result of divorce.
Along with her best friend and Aunt to her Children Lisa Marzullo who is the co-founder, they have established much more then an Educational Resource system worldwide. Website: www.theleepasfoundation.org
Katrina is presently co writing a book on Parental Alienation with Bryan Lee McGlothin, and Dr. Ludwig Lowenstein, she is writing her own biography as well due to her case being unusual.
She has presented this past March at the Canadian Symposium for Parental Alienation, and is invited to present in Washington D.C. , and the Cultic Symposium.
Dr. Richard Sauber, PhD, has asked Katrina to publish an article in The American Journal of Family Therapy pertaining to Dr. Douglas Darnall's second addition of Divorce Casualties.
She is presently finishing up school to be a court appointed parenting time coach and instructor, She is also the state coordinator for Lighting candles worldwide, and runs the New Jersey Parental Alienation Support Group, and has her own weekly talkshoe on Thursday nights bringing the professionals in the field to other parents and families in need of help. www.talkshoe.com Talkcast ID 26868.
Katrina and Lisa are pushing for a bill that will enable virtual visitation be a part of the divorce settlement agreements in the State of New Jersey, instituting mandatory education instead of elective classes on the subject of Parental Alienation to lawyers and Judges, and instituting Dr. Amy Baker's “I don't want to choose” divorce counseling program to the local schools. They have also worked very hard to get the proclamation for Parental Alienation Awareness Day (April 25th) signed by the governor.
They are also involved in a major analysis project with Dr. Douglas Darnall, PhD and Dr. Michael Bone PhD, both noted for their accomplishments and specialty in Parental Alienation Syndrome.
You can reach Katrina via phone 908-303-4817 or through her website: www.theleepasfoundation.org.
