Well, I promised I'd have some news, and here it is:
Today, I went to court for a restraining order because my H has been coming to the house and taking whatever he wants and also he has verbally threatened me over the telephone, with comments like, "You just wait. Your time is coming."
In my petition, I was advised to put on paper what happened two years ago, when he tried to run me over with his truck, while Jennifer was in the car... So, I did. (Those of you who were around back then probably remember this). Anyway, at the time, I was so distraught that I couldn't file a report, due to Divorce Busting tactics that had me believing perhaps maybe I could win him back. What a joke! That was never even a option. If I knew then, what I know now, about how he bolled me over with deceit and prostitution and his demands that the woman be half his age, I probably would not be where I am now.
In any case, his attorney had Jennifer, his 35-year-old prostitute there as a witness. He attorney questioned me, asking if I thought Jennifer would testify that H tried to run me over. I said, I had no idea, but the judge stopped her, saying, "You can't ask her something like that." (Jennifer was in the car, when he tried to run me over). They were coming out of my/our house where he was attempting to have sex with her when I wasn't home. BTW, she was dressed in a dark suit and high heels and no stockings. She looked hard and used and worn. I guess once a scum bag, always a scum bag. You can dress them up, but you can't change who they are.
His attorney tried to make out like I was the abuser because I followed them to try and get some answers. But the judge wouldn't let her pursue that line of reasoning. Anyway, she had all the facts wrong and discombobulated.
Long story short, the judge wouldn't grant the restraining order for me because I only had a 911 communications call about the truck incident, and not a full report. So, for those of you who are in imminent danger, if you don't file the report, you won't get the protection you need. Just so you know, I didn't want to file the report because the officer who came out to my house told me that if I filed the report, they would have no recourse but to go to his place of work, pick him up and arrest him for a second degree felony. I didn't want that at the time because I still loved him. Stupid me. Then again, if he did get arrested, he would be out of a job, and no one should be without work. During the little circus today, H was smiling the whole time. He thought it was funny.
I did introduce a tape recording where he was extremely nasty and admitting to "hurting me," but the judge said the word, "hurt" could indicate that he hurt me mentally and emotionally, and not physically.
