I was expecting to be writing this a bit hung over from the celebration last night. But, the celebration did not happen. Instead, I write it weepy-eyed and with eyes that are swollen from tears.
Though we didn't "lose" in court yesterday, we certainly didn't win.
I won't go into much detail because I haven't caught you up on the 2 years in between. But, I will say that things remain status quo for another 6 months. The Judge has given DP another 6 months to get some money together to run some tests that need to be run.
I am bewildered.
First, why are we even still here.
Second, how many chances does this "man" get?
Third, how can we continue another 6 months with this cloud over our heads?
A sad day at the Emery house.
As I came in last night, Ellie yelling, "did you do it, Mama?"
I told her, "yes. I kept us together."
Amy, I just found your blog and spent the morning reading through your story. I knew bits and pieces from our conversations on Facebook, but I am shocked by what you and Ellie truly have been through. No one, absolutely no one, should have to go through what you both have endured. I look at my daughter, the same age as Ellie, and wonder if she or I could have been that strong in the same situation. Probably not is the answer. You are an amazing mom and Ellie is an amazing girl. I wish I could wave a magic wand and make it all better. I wish I could help you fight him. If you ever need anything, know that I would help in anyway without hesitation.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michele. I think you would find the strength. But, am so utterly happy you don't have to!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the offer of help. I have been overwhelmed by the offers this week. I feel blessed by the people who love us
