Fell From Above

Adult Abuse

Ingrid
I am finally free from my parents and they can't get past the security guards guarding my room. The psychiatrist has dropped by and we spoke and he had me talk with a caseworker that can help me get away from my parents for good. At 24 years old I have a degree that I got on line because they refused to allow me any freedom. The only socializing I did was when they chose to have me on display to find a suitor. I found out that Dr Grey had these security people stop my parents from bothering me. The psychiatrist and the social worker are working on something to get me away from my parents. They are looking into a place and they think placing me in a psychiatric hospital would help my mental state and get me therapy, plus they would assure my parents couldn't find me. They are working on what will happen when I leave the hospital.

Grace
Ingrid has moved to the psychiatric hospital for treatment. Her parents have been told nothing regarding her treatment since they are the reason she took the sleeping pills to begin with. It turns out her parents got the pills in her name and had been lying to her about what they were for. I got cornered by the Lincoln's as I was leaving work. The one thing I don't know is where Ingrid was taken to. I also tried to limit my time around her so I know very little about her treatment plan and I never looked it up.

Dr Greene
I keep myself scarce after the Lincoln's accosted Grace going to her car, her security pretty much scared them off. She has a restraining order against them now. We haven't heard anything about Ingrid other than she really needed the therapy badly. The caseworker has implied that Ingrid is doing better and might be released after two months in the hospital. They are finding her a job and a place to live. A restraining order has already been issued against her parents. It's rare to see a 24 year old educated woman be held hostage by her parents. She made use of the Christmas party to get her freedom by taking those sleeping pills. She didn't take enough to put herself in danger, it was just enough to put her to sleep.

Ingrid /Charlotte Aubrey Steele
I was put to work by Steele Solutions and will be wearing a disguise and they have created a new name for me. I had to get a social security number and my birth certificate. Carla taught me how to drive after they gave me the name Charlotte Aubrey Steele, Rays aunts name. I am their cousin from Montesano. I live in a small apartment above their boathouse and it stays very cozy in there. My parents have actually tried to file a missing persons report and also accused dr Grey of hiding me. She was questioned by the police and they found out that she had a restraining order against them. They told my parents that I filed a restraining order against them so they refused to take the missing persons report. Ray made sure that the parents couldn't find Ingrid. Her parents she was a possession to be sold to the wealthiest person. She discovered that this was not what people who love and care about you do. The more they pushed her onto mates, the more her parents were becoming aware that they had been ostracized by nearly everyone who had any money at all.

Ray
Carla and my daughters insisted we give Ingrid a way out and we did just that. We are giving her freedom she has never had before. Anastasia got her disguises out and put together some ways to change Ingrid's looks and her voice. Then teaching her to walk differently and use different mannerisms as well. At this point we all ride together to work and back. We are hoping that the Lincoln's give up looking for Ingrid. We decided to take a look at their financial issues. We lucked out, they were both so upside down in their finances that they were facing foreclosure on everything. No wonder they kept trying to get Ingrid married to a wealthy mate.

Grace
I discovered something interesting about the Steele family, they have a niece named Charlotte. I don't know them that well, but I have my suspicions about who the niece is and it does my heart good that they beat me and dr Greene to bringing her into their home and helped hide her from her parents. I was able to talk to her about the life she had with her mom and dad and the fact they were barely able to afford anything. She never asked them for anything but they spent too much money on expensive clothing to assure she find a wealthy mate.

Carla
I just couldn't stand by and let the Lincoln's go on destroying their daughter bit by but. So much so we all got together and found out where Ingrid truly was and we visited her and told her our plan to help her get her freedom. We gave her options she didn't have and we gave her time to decide what she wanted to do. She will become Ray's niece Charlotte. We were able to get all the documents together in three weeks. The passport took longer.

Ashley
I really wanted to kick the Lincoln's butts at the Christmas party. When we found out Ingrid had no one to turn to for help and she was forbidden from going anywhere without her parents permission we then understood that taking the sleeping pills was a last ditch effort and not a real suicide attempt. Dr Grey had let it slip and she stopped talking about it, she didn't mention a name but we all knew who she meant. We all got our heads together and worked on a plan to present to Ingrid as a choice for her future.

Anastasia
I pulled some fancy handwork and pretty much threw a kibosh in the Lincoln's financial situation and soon their companies and all assets were being frozen to cover all their outstanding debts. I think Christian bought the properties for a song. When I saw their home I knew they lived far above what their incomes could cover. All of pulled together to get Ingrid settled into the apartment above the boathouse. Mom and dad had offered her the guest room but she preferred the apartment. Barney got her all set up computer wise. Christian and I are hanging out when we are free to do so.
