Karma

If I had a voice...I would yell tonight. But I lost it earlier today.

I guess my horoscope was very wrong:

"You have been temporarily endowed with a terrific superpower: the ability to convince anyone of anything. To activate this wondrous gift, simply open your mouth and allow your thoughts to escape, unhindered and unfiltered. Getting started won't be a problem. Shutting up, however ... oh, well. Worry about that later."

No superpowers today folks....just bad karma.

I made a comment regarding enjoyable weekends to a friend that I wished to see more of...They said for me to enjoy my weekend and I came back with a remark to basically stop wishing me enjoyable weekends unless they could share a little time with me over the weekends...

Snotty remarks come back to bite.

Further on in the story...

My ex had me dragged to court again today (another reason that I missed my 2 weeks of vacation with my daughter to the East Coast...)....

Now my weekends are really going to suck. I just lost my daughter EVERY single weekend to a thug, a violent man, an asshole...because friend of the court did not have time to listen to my expert, witnesses or to me. HE was allowed his time and his expert...a part-time psychotherapist that has only 2 years under his belt and no domestic violence training....He is my ex's anger management therapist???? What??? I was not given the opportunity. Despite endless objectioning from my attorney, the ruling went into effect and the judge said I can appeal if I have a problem with her ruling, because she didn't have time for anything else and walked out. This overturned two other rulings that have been put in place to protect my child over the last 1 1/2 years.

And I am left without my daughter every weekend and I have to leave her in his hands - those violent hands that have hurt me and in front of her.

This is messed up.

My heart is torn.


BTW Readers - I have been on the phone and emailing all afternoon to find out if my attorney is right....that this was a flawed step in our judicial system. I mean be it just FOC, but it was a hearing and I was denied my right to bear witness and a ruling was made due to lack of time ~ it was lunch time ~ even though no boundaries were set on the length of the hearing prior to HIS witnesses being called

...On second thought maybe my horoscope was right. Maybe all the talking I did after the hearing may proove to have super results. Can only keep hoping. Right? Yes - Right!

BTW - Another update...My new found assertiveness and my persistence has paid off and this matter has been resolved. Thank you not only to my friends but also to my own voice that did not waiver this time. I boldly went where I needed to go and said what needed to be said - It paid off!
