Here We Go Again....

[Kara]

Haven't had much to update in awhile on my situation, so here's what's going on lately.

Court tomorrow at 1:30. Not expecting much to happen, as always. As much as I'd like to have something to report other than it getting delayed again, I'm not going to hold my breath.

I've been having more pain with my hernia. Yesterday at work I nearly passed out from pain because it was so excruciatingly horrible. My coworker almost called a medical emergency on me, but I made him stop. I HAVE to be in court tomorrow even if it's a waste of time. No time to be in the hospital. But yes, I will need to deal with this soon, and I plan to when I have the time off available.

My Bestie is moving in for sure this week. So no more having no one to talk to in person. That's makes me a happy Kara.

I'm now seeing my counselor bi-weekly, since things have been going so well lately. This is also good. As much as I enjoy chatting with her, it's good to not need to.

Ex is still playing the vindictive card. She reported me for allegedly choking our oldest son sometime last fall. The claim was found to be unsubstantiated. Can't wait to see what she pulls next. But as I've said before, she isn't hurting my case any.

And that's pretty much it. Things seem to be winding down, which I think is a good sign. This shitwagon is finally running out of steam. So it's only a matter of time before I can fully move on with my life.

My fingers are crossed for you!

[Mishi]

I'll keep praying for you Kara. It's great that things are looking up, despite the hernia problem. *hugs*

[fireheart]

If I wasn't aching from zumba, I'd cross my fingers and toes for you.

I'll be still rooting for you

[Kheldarson]

Praying for the best for you.

And remember. You have plenty of people who'd be more than willing to help with any...erm...little problems that your Ex might want to pull. Rather emphatically I should think.

And I have family in the area

I'm glad to see a report from ya. I was wondering if you had your court date and how it went.

It's good to hear that things are looking a little brighter for you, and you're starting to feel better mentally (sucks for your hernia thing though )

I pray that things go smoothly and in a timely manner so you can address your hernia.

[Elspeth]

Many good thoughts going in your direction! *many hugs*

[Sapphire Silk]

Glad to hear things are coming together, Kara.

But keep an eye on that hernia. Don't put yourself in ICU because it gets incarcerated (no pun intended) and you end up needed emergency surgery. Don't risk your health.

Small update before I need to get in to work (shift started an hour and a half ago). Something finally happened in court. Shocking, I know. I now have all the reports and transcripts that the county attorney has been withholding from us. Haven't had time to do much more than skim it, but, although some parts are painful to read (yeah, I yelled at my kids too much), the meat of it is highly speculative and circumstantial. For example, at one point my youngest son told the detective how I ran a chair leg down his leg. I recall a time when I got up from the computer and the chair, a little folding chair, went with me, and he said something about it poking his leg because he's a little loving child and is always RIGHT THERE underfoot. He didn't say anything about it hurting though. But remove the context and there you have it - I'm a monster.

She did admit to pulling a knife on me, though probably only because the children mentioned it first (obviously it was a traumatic memory for them as it was way back in August). She maintains, as she told me at the time, that I was approaching her with "hostility," though she goes on to state that the blade was not extended (it's her box knife from work), which is not true at all. And yes, I did tell her to cut me, because I had no idea why she pulled it in the first place (I was walking toward her as we were arguing with my hands up, open palms out, suggesting that I was NOT trying to start anything) and I was pretty damn upset about it. I figured if she was going to pull it she might as well use it. But you know what? We got past it (I thought) and moved on. And things got better not long after that (I thought).

So anyway, preliminary hearing is set for May 4th. I'm glad. I finally get a chance to defend myself against this chaotic mess that has blown up over something that amounted to little more than just a bad day all around. This makes me happy. Because it means that there is an end to this whole thing.

[Chromatix]

Oh yes, knowing what you're accused of is essential when it comes to defending against it. Judges tend to be displeased by deliberate attempts to withhold that information from the defendant, and for good reason.

So now you can sit down, go over each point, and have a good answer to it by the time it comes up in court.

Haven't seen you in chat lately; been thinking about you so I'm glad to see an update. Good luck tomorrow and feel better

[Jester]

So anyway, preliminary hearing is set for May 4th.

I'm going to a beer festival May 14th, part of my Lauderdale vacation May 12th-May 17th. I hope to able to toast to your acquittal and your vindication at that festival!

Just checking you're ok

Yes I am a lurker, but I am worried for you. This has been a screwed up situation from the begining (and boy can I relate to some of it) I hope that you are physically emotionally and spiritually (in whatever you believe in) well. My best wishes go with you, however it turns out.
