After reading the other complaints about Kendra I realized they do not talk about some important things. I had debated about submitting for a long time and decided I should because I think I have experienced or seen things that most (or at least the people who seemed to have gotten ripped off financially) have not.
I am a mother of a few kids who are school mates, friends and team mates of Kendra's older three children. I live in the same general area Kendra does and I also went to the same schools she did. We were never that close but I did spend time with her and her children off and on over the years. Recently we connected on Facebook and that is what brought me here.
While our community is sort of small, it is also big in some ways. I was not aware of her felonies until a local friend had told me to Google Kendra. I was shocked at what I read to say the very least. But it also made a lot of sense given what I had seen Kendra do, plus some things I experienced in my interactions with her.
Before I get into all that, let me say something up front. Kendra's children are good kids for the most part. Kendra posts about them on Facebook all the time and from the way she writes about them, you would think they were toddlers at times, not middle school aged. Also, you would think she had custody of them.in reality, it appears she mostly sees them at sporting events and doesn't really know them that well at all. Or at least that's the case with the two boys, the older daughter I don't see as much anymore because my own kid doesn't spend much time with her these days.
Growing up Kendra seemed a little "odd" at times, but who wasn't. We lost touch when I went off to college and I didn't run into her until many years later. When her children were a lot younger, my family and I had her and her kids over (I'm pretty sure she was divorced by then). Things seemed fine, except within a short time Kendra told us horrible stories about abuses at the hands of several different people. It seemed a bit much for a casual kids' playdate, but it was what it was.
A few days later we had discovered a few items missing from our medicine cabinet, particularly prescriptions. The bottles were completely empty. I had a nagging feeling, but I can't say for sure it was her. But after everything we learned later, it seems likely.
We didn't really have her over again, but years later she invited us to her apartment in Hudson. What we saw was stunning. Clutter and filth. We didn't want to be rude so we suggested going out to dinner. We went out and at the end, Kendra said she forgot her wallet and promised to pay us back. She never did, but we didn't chase her down for it either because it felt awkward. Also, during dinner she talked more about abuses and other issues. She brought up some of the same stuff from that visit to our house, but the stories were changed.
Over the past few years my kids have spent time with hers, but not with Kendra. I had found out her ex-husband got custody a few years ago. It made me feel better because things just didn't seem right with Kendra.
As I said Kendra connected with me on Facebook. She writes a lot about how hard she works as a mother, is always complaining she's sick, and I was shocked to see she had another baby. She also periodically rants about someone who is an ex who she says makes things up and harasses her. Then she says how it hurts the children. A lot of people reply to these in support, but this is where I began really questioning things. If her kids are indeed on Facebook and the internet in general, why is she writing these things? It felt kind of like she was trying to cutoff anyone questioning her, proactively chalking it up to just a big act of revenge being cooked up by someone who was angry with her.
After Googling Kendra a while ago, I decided to do what the reports suggested. I went to the local police and courts. It's worse than those other reports have listed. My heart goes out for her kids because someday all 4 will be adults and probably learn about what their mother has done. I believe people can change, but what I saw goes back for over 12 years and have crimes up through 2010. This isn't a person who made one or two mistakes.
It is all very sad because I knew Kendra when we were children. To think she grew up to be such a dark criminal is mind blowing. I obviously am not putting things here that add to the other lists that are online, I think that is enough for the internet. I just wanted to share my experiences that are a lot different.
People are not what they seem, that's for sure. Everyone makes mistakes, but what has gone on looks to be very deliberate and a way of life. I say this because the crimes she has committed were all variations of the same thing, especially passing bad checks.
If I could leave one thought with anyone reading this: do yourself a favor if you are going to be around Kendra (I know a lot of people feel sorry for her baby). Talk to the Hudson and Nashua police, they are very helpful. The courts are good, too. Nashua Superior was the best out of the two. District seems to have mostly civil cases, which were a lot of evictions and small claims where she was the defendant.By the way, the police mentioned she had never gone to college, so she's definitely not a nurse or any other profession that requires a degree. (It was funny, the Hudson officer I spoke to was worried I was a victim! She said it was good that I looked into her and wished more people would when it comes to these types of situations. She said a lot of people have come in over the years there that were victimized by her. Crazy!)
I hope things turn out well for those kids and good luck to those who are around her. The whole thing is just very sad.
