Falsely accused of meth dealing, ruined my families lives.

Location: Missouri, USA.

In 2011, my parents were arrested for illegal purchasing of Claritin D. From my understanding, the legal limit is 9 grams per household a month.

Back then, my mom knew about the legal limit, but didn’t know why; she thought people were overdosing on it. What we didn’t know is that it could be used to make meth. Our father, however, did. He purchased two boxes of it, without my mom’s knowledge. Then he later beat her and forced her to go purchase more. (Which she didn’t know he had already purchased the limit.)

To give a bit of context, unbeknownst to my mom, my father only had kids to leverage me and my brother to keep from being homeless. As he couldn’t keep a job, he moved us from family member to family member (his side) to say, “Hey, we’re about to be homeless, I don’t want my kids on the streets.”

Around 2011, he made friends with some drug dealers, and I don’t know what happened, or why he couldn’t settle on the two boxes he had already purchased, but he got himself and my mother arrested when he had my mom go purchase more, going over the legal limit.

The police told my mother that she was free to go, yet despite that, she got a $100K warrant, which has ruined our lives, and we’ve been living in fear ever since. My father took a plea deal and spent three months in jail, and my mother went to live in hiding with a friend of hers. (We were supposed to go with her, but another family member made us live with our grandparents, where my father would get out of jail three months later and go back to abusing us. I only bring this up for if anyone questions why I wasn’t with my mother.

My father abandoned us back in 2013, because he had exhausted everyone in his family to use us as leverage. I.E, once everyone realized he’d never get a job, they wanted him gone, and my brother and I were moved to live with our mother.

Edit: Apologies, I should’ve said this straight away, I’m hoping there’s something I can do about this. My mother was a victim of severe abuse from a psychotic sociopath. My mother has never broken the law. She had a completely clean record and never even so much as jaywalked before. My father, however, had a history of arrest, alcohol abuse, drunk driving, and a ton of other horrible things. All of which, multiple family members can attest to. With that stated, would there be anything I could do?

P.S. My mother and I live in Michigan now, just figured I’d throw that out there.
