Just checking in. The tide is definitely changing in my favor. It is odd how uncomfortable that is making me feel right now. Like I am finally winning and seeing justice being served but I don't quite trust it. I have to see H today to exchange custody and I am a little afraid of how it might go since I know he had a very deflating morning. Especially after yesterday when he went into a defensive tirade about how awful I am. Today he was cut down to size and I had very little to do with it.
Deep breaths. Stay grounded. Understand that this is God working for me so the only emotion I should allow myself is gratitude. If I get to confident or haughty it will all come crumbling down again. I am only where I am today because I hired an ethical lawyer who is focused on the big picture and a fair outcome. Not taking their bait and seeing immediate justice fed by my desire for revenge, was frustrating for a long time. But by being patient and ethical I gave him and his legal team the space to dig their own graves.
I am finally reaping the benefits and I truly believe I will be able to walk away from this not only satisfied with the outcome, but also with my dignity and self-respect in tact. Something I don't think he will be able to claim.
