Well, my case is still shambling along like a zombie. Actually, that's a good analogy, since this thing is pretty much dead already. I don't think I can get too specific, but I FINALLY got my case file from the DA's office. They have no evidence whatsoever. In fact, part of their file against me includes doctor's notes from our family physician that there were no marks or anything on the kids after the alleged abuse took place.
What I think I can say about the most of the testimony is that it is wildly contradictory. My ex's, of course, paints me out to be a monster. My kids all start out by basically saying what mommy likes to hear, but when directly asked about it, they say I don't hit them.
So my attorney is wondering why they're wasting everyone's time with this. My preliminary hearing was set for the first part of this month, then, of course, moved to next month. So we're still waiting to get this over with. I'm really not even worried about it now, just really annoyed at the whole thing.
On the personal side of things, been making a lot of changes. Came out for real to my mom and dad, it went..... well, better than anticipated. "As long as you don't do it in public." Yeah, we're gonna need a little more work on that issue. But I am nonetheless undeterred and have started Hormone Replacement Therapy, so out with the bad stuff and in with the sugar and spice. I'm getting ready to post an open letter on my "other" Facebook to serve as my official coming out to the world notice. I'm nervous, but I'm doing the right thing. I was kind of afraid the ARNP I consulted about taking hormones would tell me I was dealing with WAY too much right now, but this will be beneficial both in the calming/happiness effects caused by the hormones, and one of them also reduces blood pressure, which is still high. So I'm helping myself in more ways than one.
So that's about it. As always, my legal case is stuck in limbo and I'm just waiting for them to decide I've had enough and drop it. In the meantime, I'm just trying to move on with my life in a positive direction. I wish I had more to report, thanks to everyone who's been sending good thoughts and asking what's going on. But that's where everything is so far.
