Okay, i'm sure most of you who saw my other post are sad for me right now......
I just didn't realize what the whole thing would entail.
the courtroom was literally half full of people supporting me.
SO many people came up and said that they had never even met my ex, and that i was a really good mom and that i love my kids and take care of them well.
that my parents, whom i share property with, are good people, and take care of the kids well too.
SO many people backed up my statement that todd was always in his room and not out interacting with me and the kids.
there were at least 10 witnesses, who weren't family members, on my side.......5 of whom were professionals....one of which was the former chief of police of Los Angeles, , who had also headed a division specializing in domestic violence. who after wanting to slow down a pace, became chief of police of a small town near me, and befriended my dad through community events.
anyway......I haven't even testified yet.....she went from least consequential evidence to most consequential......and none of my ex's witnesses have testified yet.
so.....we're back at it tomorrow first thing in the morning.
it did go very well today.....i think my lawyer is pretty much floating on air.
she had my ex on the witness stand to question him about some of the allegations that were made by other people and some of the ridiculous stuff he said in his statement.
and he basically put his foot in his mouth 3 or 4 times and came off sounding absolutely ridiculous.

please just remember what i said. NEVER let him get you alone. you're doing great! get up on that stand and show your confidence and clarity of thought. be honest and don't try to hide anything, and don't be ashamed of your past, but be shrewd and don't tell more than you are asked. you've already won this thing, imo. -

Congratulations on things going well so far...they will continue to do so. Relax today...take a bath (it really helped calm me), and eat a bowl of ice cream! :-) Remember to keep your chin up and remain positive. Things will continue to go well if you do! :-)
Best of luck...*HUGE HUGS* from me! :-) You can do it! I believe in you. :-)

Fallyn--It sounds like the trial is progressing nicely. Keep you chin up. You have the strength in you to see this through. I'm sending good thoughts your way. Just remember that we are here to listen to you vent, to offer support and prayers. While we may not be there to offer a physical shoulder, I hope you can feel all those virtual shoulders holding you up. -

You may also tally my thoughts and prayers for a favorable outcome on your behalf.
Never give up, never give out and never give in!

Awesome. Blessings of good outcome continue! :) -
Zaraida said on Dec 11, 2007....
Fallyn, I hope all our prayers work out for you. I do feel the mother in the majority of cases deserves custody of the kids. I think kids feel it more if they lose their mother than if they lose their father. And lots of divorced mothers have raised wonderful kids who turned out to be stable and successful adults. -

Oh sweetie, you're in my thoughts! Liars always put their foot in their mouths. Let's hope he keeps it there and slinks away quietly.
I'll keep you in my prayers!
