Re: Actually, you do have an out...

07/31/07 01:46 PM

She took her computer with her. I don't understand it, either. That's partly why I attempted suicide after the papers were served. She was acting 180 degrees different from the woman I knew, she was alleging abuse that she knew never happened, and throwing me to the wolves with nothing.

We have to wait to gather all the proper medical documentation for my support, and we will be asking the Court to investigate the possible (probable, actually) emotional abuse of my daughter. All of this takes time, and my wife is opposing me on every single issue imaginable. Her lawyer is adament that I get a job, pay attorney fees, that my wife gets sole custody of my daughter, with limited and court-supervised visitation "if my daughter wants it," and that I receive no maintenance. He isn't budging one inch. (he also is notorious for representing clients who have filed abuse allegations.) Under those circumstances, everything is going to be battled out in court. I cannot work or afford attorney fees, I will not agree to sole custody (especially since she has already removed my daughter from the jurisdiction of the Court, in violation of two different statutes that I have researched), and without maintenance, I am a dead man walking. I HAVE to fight it, but we are trying to see how we can gain the upper hand. The two biggest helps toward that objective are my wife's emotional abuse, and my documented inability to work.

Frankly, I am worried, too -- and scared to death; I'm not afraid to admit it. I am extremely isolated, very depressed, and while not suicidal at this point in time, the thoughts run through my mind all of the time. My world is shattered, and I seem out of control of anything, at the mercy of my wife's threats. The law may be on my side in the long run, but the years of abuse going back to when I was 7 yrs old have taken their toll, and I am as emotionally fragile as a delicate flower.

But I don't know what else I can do, at this point. I'm living on extremely limited resources, the state won't help because of a "conflict of interest" (she filed the abuse allegations, when she was in fact the abuser,) all of my friends and family have deserted me, and my attorney is working as hard as he can. And, how do you negotiate with someone who is not willing to negotiate? You can't.

I'm trying to take it minute by minute, in near constant prayer, and writing some music. Until my attorney can gain me funds from her, there's not much chance of getting out of isolation. This area is so sparsely populated, that you would have to see it to believe it. (9 of the 10 nearest homes are empty and rotting.) It costs me $10 in gas alone just for a roundtrip to town. And part of the consent decree prevents me from selling any assets to get money.

Events will come to a head during the next two weeks. Either she enacts her threats, and I am then homeless (but with my attorney filing motions to return my daughter to Missouri and seeking emergency support), or my doctor will produce the documentation to satisfy her attorney that I am, indeed, unable to work. Either way, that seems to be the break point.

The way I see it, the next two weeks are the most dangerous ones for my life and sanity.

And, believe it or not, corresponding via this forum is helping me a lot. I am grateful.
