Complaint Review: Jeannette L. Nelson - Gig Harbor Washington

My name is Maisie Nelson, and I am also Jeannette’s daughter as well as a part-time employee. After reading this so-called “report” addressing my boss/mother, I find it interesting that this is a matter not pertaining to the business, but obviously

to slander Jeannette Nelson as an individual for revenge. It is not only unfortunate that this individual feels the need to bring family matters to the public, but also to go “below the belt” and falsify information to make Jeanette Nelson look bad.

Before beginning my rebuttal to this nonsense, I would like to mention that no one is perfect, and we do have flaws and we make mistakes. We are only human and we have control over some things, and others we do not.

With that in mind, Ashlie Yazzie is nonetheless an individual who has mental disabilities/issues and has a hard time understanding things. I am not saying this out of spite but because it is simply the truth. I have grown up with

Ashlie pretty much for the last 7+ years before moving out and going off to college (which has only been two years). Within those years, I have learned A LOT about my sister. Yes, I know she is borderline retarded (as far as her

cognitive learning abilities), but just like anyone else, she can function normally. This was a good thing with her, but unfortunately, she takes advantage of people by playing the fact that she is “borderline retarded,” and likes to get people to feel bad for her. Sadly to say, I am a victim of giving into her and treating her like a baby. Ashlie is very naïve, indecisive, gullible, two-faced, and more.

As to the comments that Ashlie has made in the original report, Jeannette Nelson IS a good mother, maybe not to Ashlie Yazzie, (and there is a reason for that), but to her three other children including myself. With this whole “making an

appointment,” situation, I was not there but people need to realize that my mother is a very busy woman and can get easily stressed out. Jeannette Nelson works from her home in a room that she has designated as her office, and when

that door is closed, it means; “I’m working, don’t bother me unless it is an emergency.” Just like any other work environment, one should not bother and call someone at work unless it is important.

About my mother’s ex-husband living in our home with her and my brothers, it was my understanding he was temporarily staying there until he could get back on his feet. Times are hard, and for whatever reason they got divorced is their

business and nobody else’s. Jerry is still considered a very important person in our family, and my mother is not going to leave him hanging. Not to mention, my mother helped him remodel his home, which he has recently moved into. That

is why he was living at the house.

The whole business about the stealing of birth certificates, IDs, and passports, money,etc that Ashlie claims my mother stole from her is FALSE. Ashlie holds all her important identification papers/IDs, and I have seen this. Her “military” ID

was taken away not by mother, but by at the time, our stepfather, Jerry Woods. She wanted to move out and live with her boyfriend and be on her own. Military ID does not belong to anybody but to the government. The ID contained our stepfather’s social security number, and with Ashlie’s behavior, who knows what she could have done with it. She is reckless and careless with her own belongings.

Ashlie Yazzie knows exactly why my mother told her she “regretted having her.” Ashlie Yazzie’s father, Archie Yazzie, who was a drug addict/alcoholic, raped my mother when she was 18 years old. I don’t know about you, but getting raped is

not the same thing as “in it for pleasure.” Ashlie and myself would know this considering Steven Nelson raped us when were at a very young age (6 and 8 yrs old), someone that Ashlie considers her “brother.” Maybe she considers it

pleasure because Ashlie let him continuously rape her numerous times afterwards, or should I recall her saying, “I let him do it because it was the only way I felt loved…” Anyways, back to my mother,… I would have some kind of hard feelings if I was raped and forced to have an unwanted child, too. My mother did not have a choice of getting an abortion; she is from a catholic family who do not believe in this and regardless, her parents at the time did not allow it. And as “willing” as Gloria and John Nelson (grandparents) were to take Ashlie in as their own, she lived with them for a good portion of her life. Now, I am not trying to justify my mother’s not wanting Ashlie to begin with because she could have gone about a different ways. This is an emotional and personal issue with my mom and I’ll leave it at that… However, when Ashlie Yazzie did come back into our lives, my mom treated Ashlie with nothing but good intentions despite the hard feelings. It was really hard at first, but my mother came through and treated Ashlie like she would treat any of her other children.

The thing with my mother is that she instills good traits/morals in her children; she does not raise lazy, disrespectful children. Education always came first. Though my mother did not raise Ashlie, those were the rules that were laid out

when she decided to live with us, and she agreed to them. Although Ashlie agreed to them, it does not mean that she abided by them, so she was punished. Punishment in my family is just like any other punishment when you don’t do

what you are told; you have privileges taken away. Ashlie did not like this and often rebelled. Ashlie only made it to her junior year in high school and dropped out because she was failing all her classes because she was lolly-gagging

with boys and writing love notes. Her focus was not on school. She would often have sex with strangers, and would bring them to our home where her partner wanted to have a threesome with me included. Ashlie does not always make good

decisions and would put herself in bad situations.

About Jeannette Nelson telling everyone that Ashlie died is true, and trust me, a lot of people were angry, even her own children. I personally don’t know why she said that, but I do know that she “manned-up” about it.

Hm, the passport thing? Come on Ashlie, you came home last from the Philippines. You needed your passport to get from one country to another, and Jeannette Nelson was not with you. As for the money, it wasn’t stolen. You are an adult. You want to be treated like an adult, then you need to pay rent like an adult. You are 22 years old and living at home, and getting free money from the government. Jeannette Nelson had to sign some papers stating you are using your money

productively or else you would not get that $600+ every month. Correct? All you needed to pay was that $250-300 a month.

About Ashlie’s so-called “will to succeed in life” it is a bunch of BS. First of all, Jeannette Nelson has invested A LOT of money trying to help Ashlie with her so-called mental problems within the last year. These are the mental problems in which Ashlie claimed that she was hearing voices, having panic attacks, bloody noses; just some real bad issues. Ashlie wanted help, so my mother got her help. She, my mother, arranged therapy for her and paid for out from her own pocket, which was not cheap, and also the costly medications. Then, Ashlie tries to commit suicide by overdosing on pills, which my younger brother witnessed her doing. Scared and concerned, my mother rushed her to the ER and had her stomach pumped. We came to find out that she tricked everyone… she never took her pills except for her iron pills to help stop the bloody noses. In the end, Ashlie was in fact perfectly fine and just wanted attention from our mother, which Ashlie Yazzie later admitted.

Everyone was very upset with Ashlie’s actions because we actually tried to help her, she fooled all of us. But that did not stop Jeannette Nelson to try and repair her and Ashlie’s relationship. My mom always gave her attention, always talking to her, taking her out to get her nails and hair done, going out clubbing with her, all the things to get Ashlie “alive” and happy again. Then when Ashlie’s health became a concern to all of us, we never thought in a million years she would do this.

The situation about Jeannette Nelson being “a gold digger, no good, money hungry, want guys for everything they've got,” is simply not true. Jeannette Nelson, my mother, works hard for her money and not in the way that you claim she earns it. If you really think she goes on trips for shits and giggles, you are completely blind. First of all, do you have proof? Do the guys that she has dated/married tell you that she did all of this? You underestimate Jeannette Nelson a lot, and you have balls to come forth with that statement AND to throw in that she has herpes. Real mature, ASHLIE YAZZIE, you sound exactly like “that” side of the family who envies Jeannette Nelson, and loves to m********e to her every move because of her success in life.

The original report was written out of spite and revenge simply because Ashlie cannot get her way. This all started with Ashlie’s health condition. She was not exercising enough and she was losing circulation in her legs and fingers, and it showed. Once again, we were all concerned. All she did was sit by the fireplace, on her computer at least a good 12 hours a day, s**t, eat (chips and soda), and sleep. That was her everyday routine. So when my mother had asked her to take

the dogs out for a walk, she refused. The dogs don’t usually need to be taken out for a walk but my mother had tried to do this to get Ashlie to get some exercise. Also, Ashlie did not want to pay rent for that month because she wanted to get a new laptop because she her current computer got infected by viruses. Ashlie started to throw tantrums, cursing, and saying all these unnecessary things about wanting to die, etc. This is normal for Ashlie Yazzie; if she cannot get her way she goes off doing/saying these things. I was not there, but I was on the phone at the time listening to everything, and I even

tried to calm the tension. In the end, Ashlie decided to move out all because of this and that was the last time I have heard of her until this report.

All Ashlie did was complain about her looks and her life in general. She always called herself fat and ugly, stupid and dumb. I know this because she had said all these things to me, and all I did was try to encourage her in being more

active with her life and seeing her life in a better picture, and in time, things will get better. Ashlie Yazzie is the one who is the unhappy one here; and all that her family and friends tried to do was ask her to be positive about herself, even her so-called “bad” mother. All this “talk” about Jeannette Nelson, my mother, is just here to show how some individuals like to be immature and start drama. If you are going to try to make someone look bad, the least you could do is to make sure that you tell the truth and the whole story. To my end my rebuttal to this fiction hog wash, do include everyone’s name that wrote this report because we all know Ashlie Yazzie’s mannerisms quite well. Ashlie is simply NOT CAPABLE of writing something this well with minimum errors/good grammar, she had help or what it someone else’s idea?

Ashlie Yazzie, I wish you the best of luck in life and hope you realize that nothing good comes from revenge. With that being said, “You reap what you sow,” you cannot blame anyone but yourself.

I am Bill McCandless and the best friend to Jeannette Nelson for almost two years now. I am in total disbelief as to what is written here about Jeannette by her eldest daughter, Ashlie. I take this personal and want to set the record straight.

First of all, I know that this website is not for personal grievances but while I am trying to get Ashlie's report removed, I want to set the record straight. 

I do not believe that Ashlie was alone in writing this. I have seen Ashlie’s correspondence on FaceBook, she is not that literate. Someone else wrote this for you, Ashlie. I just want to remind you and whoever helped you write this that you can be sued for slander. Let it be known that if Jeannette chooses to sue for this, that you, Ashlie can be subpoenaed to divulge whoever assisted you in writing this and they can also be sued for slander. Did you know that the court can order Ripoff Report.com to provide the IP address for your report to the court which will show the originator’s location?

I first met Ashlie last spring after it was found out that she was allegedly raped by her cousin Steven (living in same household) early on in Ashlie’s life. She held this in private until just last year. As soon as her mother, Jeannette, found out about it, Jeannette drove 6 hours to go and get Ashlie and bring her home to put her in a safe environment away from Steven. Yes, Jeannette had hard feelings towards Ashlie because Ashlie was a product of a rape on Jeannette by Ashlie’s father. Ashlie, you say that she was with your father for pleasure; get a clue, your father raped Jeannette. These hard feelings are a normal reaction for some women that are raped and I can totally understand Jeannette’s feelings. How would you like a reminder everyday of a nightmarish event that happened to you living in your house?  Ashlie questioned why her mother did not abort her after the rape. Jeannette even wanted to give you up for adoption. Jeannette was not allowed to abort her pregnancy or give you up for adoption due to her family’s Catholic religious beliefs.

My first impression upon meeting Ashlie was that she is very naïve and childlike. I found it very difficult to believe that she was 22 years old; she acted more 10 – 13 years old. I was told later that she was diagnosed by a doctor to be borderline retarded which after meeting Ashlie, I found very easy to believe.  

Ashlie questions whether her mother is being a good mother or not. I know Jeannette to value education and family very highly. She always rewards good grades and says that “education is one thing that cannot be taken away from you.” She also emphasizes the importance of telling her kids that she loves them every day. After taking Ashlie into her home again, Jeannette had mixed emotions about her being there but always did everything she could to help Ashlie and make her feel wanted. Ashlie had health issues brought on by stress and being diagnosed as obese, she also had emotional issues stemming from the memories of her rape. I have witnessed the severe nosebleeds and emotional breakdowns.  Jeannette took all these problems seriously and set up counseling and medical appointments for Ashlie to do whatever she could do to help her eldest daughter. Ashlie repaid these efforts by her mother by faking a suicide attempt when Ashlie told everyone that she overdosed on her medication. This was found to be false when taken to the emergency room and having her stomach pumped. The doctor said that she did not overdose. Jeannette could have given up on Ashlie at that point but she saw it as a sign that Ashlie needed more attention. Jeannette put aside special time alone with Ashlie to go shopping, to hair and nail salons and even went clubbing with her. I have seen Jeannette stop everything that she was doing, even her work just to sit and listen to Ashlie and try to resolve whatever issues she had at the moment.  

I have been around the family a lot and often heard Ashlie say “I love you mama”. Ashlie,  I have seen you make drawings and posters telling your mother how much you love her and what a great mother she is. Where is that love now Ashlie?

 Ashlie spends her day sleeping, eating, and playing with the cat and the rest of her awake time is spent on her computer posting things on FaceBook. Ashlie has been told many times that she needs to take care of her health because failure to do so may lead to an early death. I have personally gone with Jeannette to take Ashlie to the emergency room because of health problems and the doctors ran several banks of tests. All the symptoms pointed to the fact that Ashlie was obese. Jeannette tried to get Ashlie to eat healthier, recommended to Ashlie that she start to exercise, slowly at first. Ashlie was asked to walk the dogs and walk to the mail box to pick up the family’s mail. Ashlie was always reluctant to do either.  

Ashlie made comments that Jeannette told her son to make an appointment which is true but she didn't tell you why. Her son wanted to spend time with a friend and Jeannette’s policy has always been to meet the parents of the other child that is why she asked him to make an appointment. She wanted to meet the other child’s parents. I have seen her do this first hand. Does that make her a bad mother? I think that makes her a caring mother, much better than most. Yes, Jeannette does run a business out of her home office and sometimes, she closes the door to concentrate on her business and there are times that her children go to her during her business hours to try to talk to her about one of over a dozen things that teenagers go to moms for. She does ask that if it is not an emergency if she can talk to them later. Jeannette is a single parent and is doing her best to provide for her family.

Ashlie commented on Jerry Woods, Jeannette’s ex-husband, living in the house. That was true until recently. A house was being renovated for Jerry to live in so Jeannette offered to let Jerry stay there in exchange for him helping to watch over the children while she is on one of her many business trips. Again, Jeannette was watching out for her kids.

I only know hearsay about Jeannette telling everyone that Ashlie was dead after Ashlie made multiple threats to kill herself. Jeannette could have denied that but she didn’t, she owned up to it, right or wrong. As far as doing that to collect on the insurance money, Ashlie, get a clue. You cannot collect insurance money for the death of a person when there is no life insurance policy on that person. Also, insurance companies will not pay if the person passed away due to suicide.

As far as being a gold digger, Jeannette does not date or marry for money. I have met some of the men that Jeannette has dated and even know her ex-husband. Jeannette is an attractive woman and many men try to woo her and try to buy her affection through gifts. Jeannette is usually the one that pays for everything when she goes out. She doesn’t want to feel obligated to anyone. You make your mom sound promiscuous, I really don’t think that you know your mother at all. The talk of STDs and herpes is all BS, get a clue.

You said that your mom stole your military ID, your passport and birth certificate. I know for a fact that your military ID was taken away because in order to have it, you must be a dependant up to the age of 18 or a over the age of 18 if you are a student. Since you dropped out of school, you no longer met the criteria for maintaining a military ID so it was taken away and turned in to the Navy. This was not done by Jeannette, but by Jerry Woods because it is his duty to do so. You had your passport, how else could you have flown back from the Philippines last summer without your mother? Get the story right.

You talk of cosmetic surgery that your mom has had done, again, you have no clue. Yes, she had surgery on her breasts, not to make them larger but to reduce them to relieve pressure on her back. The only enhancement that I am aware of on your mom was that she did have her nose done. She readily admits to that. She has not had any liposuctions or facelifts; your mom takes very good care of herself and watches her weight. Maybe, you should take a lesson from your mom on that. I think that you are just jealous.

Ashlie, you say that your mother told you that you are fat, lazy, no good and ugly. I am not sure about all that. I know that she did say that you are fat, as diagnosed obese by more than one doctor. You are lazy, you do very little or no work around the house, I have been there and seen what little you do. I am not alone in that, others see it too. When you actually did manage to do some work around the house, your mom was always there to recognize your accomplishments.

All this came about because you wanted to get out of paying rent so you could buy a new computer and that you refused to walk the dogs and get mail as requested. You are the one that got the computer viruses by visiting questionable websites. Buy anti-virus software instead and stay off the questionable sites instead. You told your mom that you wanted to pay rent so you could get the larger bedroom and show your brothers that you are being a responsible adult. I heard that myself on a couple of occasions. You receiving your government assistance is based on you using it towards your living expenses. Your mother had to sign paperwork stating that you were paying rent and were justified in receiving the benefits. If you make a contract with someone, be an adult and own up to it.

In conclusion, I believe Jeannette Nelson to be one of the best parents I know. Her children know that she loves them because she tells them all the time. She rewards good behavior and withholds privileges for substandard performance. She may not always be at home to take care of her children personally due to her running international businesses but she always makes sure that her children are taken care of. Her children have never done without anything. I challenge anyone to do more for their kids than Jeannette has done for her children.
