Brave Little Gerda Passes Through the Door

[Gerda]

Amazing to hear from you, Job. Thank you for the support!

Quick update --

Fourth letter from the GF to my lawyer, so he finally replied to her that her personal relationship with H made it impossible to include her, and that the best remedy was for H to just choose a different broker. But he added that he was aware that she had contacted "the parties' children" and tried to discuss with them the sale and the impact of the sale on their lives. So finally the judge's court attorney answers that we have to file a motion to get this heard. Another $5000 down the tubes.

Amazingly, after receiving this rather alarming message, did H and GF realize it was time to back off and pull up the big-boy-and-girl pants? No. Because an hour later I got a message from the bartender that they were AT THE BAR. I guess they had a drink first and then demanded to know who had taken down the camera!!! They were literally there in a fury to collect their illegally installed equipment! The bartender, normally a very tough guy, was I guess a little confused. He didn't share any info but when H was very vehement that he needed the footage from the bar's camera to find out who did it, the bartender did not say, "Get the F out of here unless you have a warrant." So I think that H is coming back with a USB to collect the footage, not realizing that I couldn't care less if he sees it's me! I mean, I don't think it will work out very well to go to the judge complaining that Gerda noticed a camera had been installed to watch her, without her knowledge, and, terrified, she took it down.

I really didn't want my D14 to come home past that, so I called her school and went to pick her up and escort her home. Mercifully, The Greenthumb Twins were gone.

My L wanted me to wait on the restraining order until we got this issue heard by judge. I have an appointment anyway to talk about options with the domestic violence folks.

More soon! Love to you all, thank you for being there.
