She's "Brass"????? She really has the power to turn herself into a metal?

I think you mean "brash," but hey, whoever said literacy counts here....just write what you like, and to hell with the fourth grade grammer, including proper word usage!

I digress. God bless you and your children. I'm glad she did one good thing with her life. She's been so busy minding everyone else's business, her own family has fallen apart more than once.

Yes, families have problems, but they don't bilk others out of their money and trust, as MD has done time and time again!

While I'm happy you found help, I cannot believe anyone would take the side of a liar, a cheat, and a fraud, especially to the degree MD has perfected it.

By the way......in who's home is she living? Didn't she lose it and a friend bought it to save her "face," so no one would find out what a loser she was? Not sure, it's just what I've heard.

There's a laundry list of things of which MD is guilty.

Calling a bunch of young kids "little f____rs," is one (of many) reason(s) she's lost any credence, credibility and respect. It's a little hard to look up to a person in a position of honor who has the mouth that would rival a truck driver's.

The things she's done really, really wrong far outweigh the appearance of the one or two things where she may have actually helped.

Sorry, you haven't convinced me. I'm still doing a happy dance that she's getting her just rewards. She's made many decent people sorry to have made her acquaintance.

Taxpayers in Brentwood work for their money....she should try it!!!!!!!!

and the three words that best describe her are as follows and I quote: "brass, crass and brash"!!!

Since you don't mind people being "brass" at times (I'll interpret the words crass or brash, both suiting, being your intended negatives to describe her)I'll allow myself to be frank with you. I don't believe for a moment that she came to your aid without you unwittingly being a pawn in her game of opportunity. Considering the situation you were in maybe you could not discern her knack for opportunistic inclinations as kindness. Regardless, you are removed from the horrible situation from which you came. You, above all people should see the red flags of an abuser. We all at some point want to change the bad people in the world, even the ones that we're close to. We will defend them. We will make excuses for their behavior "...can she be brass at times? sure who wouldn't be dealing..." We might even go to great lengths denying the reality of who the emotional and verbal abuser is because we don't want to believe that we are caught up again in an unhealthy relationship. Disgusted, please see the writing on the wall. You don't need to be the victim all your life. Quit enabling. If she delivered you to a better situation and is the hero you claim her to be is it really necessary to preface all your positive comments about her with a disclaimer?

PS: I am not perfect but:
I am not a felon.
I pay my taxes.
I make an attempt not swear.
I volunteer to genuinely help people, not to add another notch in my resume or benefit from the strategic placement of all my 'friends' down the political road.
I do not threaten people with physical harm or political ramifications.
I do not take advantage of the elderly or families.
I do not treat others children as a means to an end, or even mean at all.
I take accountability for my actions.

and I feel incredibly sad for you. You'll be in my prayers.
Please come to terms with:

She has caused her own MISFORTUNE.

I believe that only a JEALOUS person would use resources that are not their own to provide for what materialistic things she sees others as having. (entitlement)

HATRED?
I could really spend hours here. Since you are so tight with her,though, I'm confident that you've heard such "brass"-ness spew from her. No examples on my part are necessary.

Finally, SHAME. Shame on her and yet she feels none. Only a degenerate would compare their level of publicity they are receiving with that of a mans death.

Now that is something to be disgusted at.

Oh....did I say that?

She's guilty of caring about people??? You must BE Mary.....hello, Mary, is that you???

Believe me, many of us who have worked with MD within the many organization in which she stuck her menacing nose, have NOTHING good to say about her.

She drove very good, hard-working volunteers from those organizations, telling EVERYONE what to do, how to do it, and otherwise throwing her weight around (sorry, couldn't resist!)

You couldn't have had to work with her, because you'd be telling a different tale.

I still think you're Mary!
