I fired my lawyer fri. Now I have a good lawyer. But his is better. His is the best in the state and a close friend and representing him for free. So this can go on forever.
And he is not viewed as the abuser. I am. His history of rehab, abuse, my calls to the police, injuries... it's all "self serving" the judge said on Fri. It's irrelevant to the present issue (my being arrested) and he is playing "generous" dad who lets me stay in the house.
It is Lundy Bancroft's book to a T. It is terrifying. The cops are not at all sympathetic to me in town and have not been as I have told you all before.
So now he is seeing this as a chance to overhaul everything we had already negotiated and he holds all the cards. My lawyer is a woman which I wish weren't the case but my ****** lawyer was a man and she is a bulldog (new lawyer) so I have to trust she knows what she is doing...
