Okay, so everyone knows what I'm dealing with right now. I've been waiting for the state to get off their butts and produce whatever it is they have against me, and so far they have not been able to send my attorney anything whatsoever. Pretty much ever since the hearing for the PFA at the end of December, when we heard my wife's testimony, we've been pretty confident that we might actually be able to have this thing dismissed altogether.
All along, I've assumed that the real fight would begin against SRS/CPS. After the nasty phone call I got from them, telling me that I was abusive and that they could still take my kids away no matter what the court said, I've been doing a lot of research into their methods and what they've done to other parents and families trying to find any way to get through their force field of bureaucratic red tape and have a chance of fighting them.
Yesterday, a letter was sent to my house for my wife from SRS/CPS. I didn't know what it was, but they said their investigation would be completed in February, so I just put it in the pile of mail for her that I need to figure out how to get her to be able to pick up. My mother called me last night to talk and check up on me, make sure I'm taking care of myself, eating, and all that good stuff. She mentioned I got a letter at her place yesterday from SRS. I told her to just hold onto it, I'm going up there to visit next week and I'd pick it up then.
Then, late last night, I couldn't take it anymore. I tried to get enough light behind it to see what was inside. I couldn't see much of it, but what I did see made me laugh and cry and jump for joy. So this morning I called my parents and had my father open my letter to read it to me.
It lists all three of my children, the claims that I abused them all, and then goes on to say that their investigation has concluded and that they determined that while their investigation has no bearing on any criminal case against me, the claims made to them were found to be unsubstantiated.
This thing is actually going to be over soon. The hardest part of the battle is now over and ended in my favor. I'm going to get to see my kids again, I'm more certain of that now than I've been since this began. I called my attorney and left a message to let him know about this. I know it doesn't directly affect the court case, but it looks very good in my favor and it's one more thing I have working for me rather than against me.
The only thing left is finding out how my wife really feels. Is she on my side? Does she have faith in me? Or does she believe what they told her despite everything? Has she already made up her mind that she's leaving? I hope she believes in me. I love her and will never stop loving her, even if she decides to end what we have. But even if she does, I'll still get to see our children since, after the court thing is done, there won't be any legal grounds to prevent it, as there shouldn't be.
The struggle isn't over yet. To those of you who have offered me your support, your kind words, your prayers, and your thoughts, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I don't think I could have made it this far without you. Not while still being able to remain positive anyway. In case anyone doesn't know it yet, this is an AWESOME community made up of truly wonderful people. I hear this all the time from my fans, and now it's my turn to say it. You rock. All of you.
I'll keep everyone posted on any new developments. I believe the worst part is over now, and it should be fairly smooth from here.

That's good news. I'm glad to see that you had a lawyer from the start, as too many of these child protective (a term to be used loosely) methods would never stand up in court. Keep the faith.
