Duty
In order to return my son and my rights to mother him, I have learned advocacy requires many duties. In my situation, I am faced with interpersonal challenges in court by the father of my children and in real life, by everyone important to me
Take a moment to inventory the duties that will help you in your situation to provide clarity as to the advocacy required. Here is a starter list of mine:
uphold the law
accept and share facts
be assertive
protect human rights
tell the truth
say “no” when appropriate
forgive
help others in the same boat
be non-judgmental
do the right thing no matter what
