Decisions, Decisions

I'm trying to decide for myself how I want to handle this case.  I kind of have a choice of just doing what I need to do to defend myself, or being more aggressive in taking a stand that the situation has been an injustice to my child and I - basically pushing the issue.
I am not quite sure yet and may need to speak with the psychiatrist about it before I can make a more educated decision.  I am still furious that this court can make me take anger management, parenting classes and force me to make my son cut his hair even.  A large part of me wants to speak out because I firmly believe that the reason so much is gotten away with is because of the inability or unwillingness of people to speak out and go against the powers that be.  And really, I feel the same way.  I don't have the finances, time or energy really to fight it, but I want to and I know for an absolute certainty that if I was financially well off, I would definitely do so.
But, as with most things, I have to look at the reality.  I'm a student, a single mom, and what is best for my children and family as a whole has to be taken into account. Then I have to balance this reality - my kids knowing I can feed/clothe and shelter them versus them learning to stand up for their rights, to not be led by fear and even in part that a free country requires freedoms to be upheld.  And I guess this is okay because the kids also need to learn the reality versus principles struggle, as well :)
It make take some heavy weighing of consequences, and I will definitely get as much info as I can before making this decision, but it is certainly one of those times that one would really like to duck back under the covers and wish it away...
