Even if you CAN avoid testifying, I feel testifying could help with your custody regarding the divorce.
Exactly why I am waiting to go fwd with the divorce until after the trial.
It certainly couldn't HURT that case, and in my opinion that's the more important one - kids who are stuck in the middle through no fault of their own trumps an AH trying to avoid the consequences of his own choices ANY DAY, in my book.
In my book too.
I'm sure you could use the results of this case, whatever they are, in your divorce proceedings.
That's the plan.
In that case, it stands to reason that it would be more helpful to have as much accurate information as possible in this case, not because of this case, but because of the NEXT one.
Yup.
Just a thought.
When you testify, maybe just remind yourself that you're doing it for your kids?
Already there-- thinking that
You've done more than enough for your AH.
Too much in fact.
There's only one more "gift" you can give to him, anyway - the gift of experiencing the consequences of his own choices and actions.
The gift of being completely responsible for himself.
Yup. I agree.
And that is a gift.
It is... I wish I'd realized it years ago. I've kept myself ill and contributed to enabling his illness by doing things for him he should have done himself.
