Christmas Day Shenanigans
So ExH decided Christmas Day was the day I could move my things. So he pulled several boxes out of the garage onto the driveway. As I started loading boxes, he decided to call the police because I was stealing HIS things. He kept telling me that the judge gave him all of these things
The new normal
So we are into a new normal. A normal where things just seem to be odd when it comes to custody decision making. For 3 years, nearly 4 ExH has fought me on every single decision for my DD2. From whether she should continue to be vaccinated to whether she should have dental cleanings done
Coming back and moving forward
I asked my daughter today if, when she turned 18, she would want to read about my story and my journey through divorce and beyond. She told me yes. So this blog will be an attempt to digest my story so that my kids have an accounting of what happened from my perspective. I’m hoping
Thinking about moving forward is different than doing
When thinking about moving forward it is messier than it seems. It is not a linear journey. It is a journey that is more curves and moving around obstacles. Sometimes those obstacles are mountains that we create for ourselves. The solution then becomes to get out of our own way. I’ve realized through my moving
Processing intrusive thoughts
So I have PTSD. And with that I have to deal with intrusive thoughts and enotions that pop up at inconvenient times. Like tonight.

Something that occurred while I was medicated and had cognitive deficits due to the healing of my artery. Why they have waited 8 months? My theory, is that my ex decided that he needed to prosecute me
TRIGGER WARNING: Systems being used as a mechanism for abuse
My ExH. He likes control. He wants to punish me, or at least that’s how it appears as a recipient of his games. Unfortunately, he was able to convince a judge to grant him a protection order (or a restraining order) against me in retaliation for me reporting to the police that he raped
a demonstration of control
So I received a copy of a motion filed with the court by my EH. In it he, or rather his attorney, tells the court that I inappropriately removed my DD2 from school on 2 days in March. He also alleges that I refused to sign paperwork related to my daughter’s health insurance. Both of
Can the police be used as a harassment device?
Can the police be used to harass someone? That is the question I find myself asking. I received a call from a detective this morning telling me that my lovely EH reported that I violated his protection order. When I asked how, the poor detective was very unclear as to how the examples given actually
