I guess all I can say to this is - I'm just trying to write my story right now. Thats fair. I was hesitant to jump in, but I wasnt sure how long it would take you to finish your background story, and I thought that these thoughts would be useful regardless of how the rest of the story played/plays out.
I understand what you are saying - and you have a very valid point. I guess I feel very hurt and scared myself right now, and that I don't have a voice to defend myself - other than writing my story on an internet forum. This is also fair. The term "defend myself" is always very difficult to use around here. I've never found that being defensive is a useful strategy. I am certainly interested to hear the rest of your story. While theres nothing to do to change the past, we can change your future.
Certainly it seems like everything else going on, and the court system - is validating 'her perspective', I'm just trying to get my own perspective down somewhere, if only just to get it out of my system, because this is all I can do, Perfect. Sometimes just journaling things to "get them out there" is extremely therapeutic. Nobody is going to judge you, look down on you, or treat you badly here. While the delivery may not always be great, we all have your best interests at heart.
and I know myself, and I feel unfairly treated in this situation. I'm sure that you do. So far, the story sounds very difficult. Im not saying that you WERENT treated unfairly. My only point was that this isnt a war that is "won" by having more supporters. Ultimately, it comes down to the relationship between you and the other person. All you can control is you and how you interact with her. It doesnt really matter how many people or counselors or internet guides you have on your "side".
