W threatened me with a order of protection. I asked why and she said harrasment and I grabbed her hand. What in the world? How does it come to this? Last night she followed me into the bathroom as I was taking a shower. She was telling me that she is going to get a lawyer, no mediation for her, and she was going to get 75% of my paycheck. I asked if she was done, I reached for the doorknob to open the door, she grabbed the doorknob and said, "not yet, I'm not done". Then she ripped me some more. How she doesn't want to be anywhere near me. If she is in the room with the kids, I have to stay out, and vis a vis. I said, look I'm tired, I want a shower and to go to bed, I grabbed the doorknob, her hand was still on it, and said, please leave so I can take a shower.
That constitutes grabbing her hand in a way that justifies an order of protection?
My lawyer said to ignore it. It won't fly, it's baseless and will be seen as an act of attrition. My lawyer also told me that W told her that she has never feared anything physical from me, that I'm not that type of guy and I have never laid a hand on any woman. My lawyer said she will testify on my behalf to those statements from my W if it comes down to it.
I don't know her any more. I don't know her at all.
On the upside, I'm reading a great book recommended by tampaguy called God Loves an Unmade Bed. Check it out. I'm learning a lot about how God looks at me and it's helping.
Sorry for the downer post. I'm getting ready for my surgery tomorrow morning. No big deal, simple procedure God willing. 3 ligaments and a busted kneecap. It will go quick and I will recover fine. I'll be up and dancing in no time at all. I will be away from the board for a few days.
God bless you all, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and hopes for my situation. It means so much.
