Same here Sabrina.......I went before a judge 3 times but it was always my word against his because he was always gone before the police got there and we were divorced so it wasn't "domestic violence" because we no longer lived together. yada yada... I could write books about the crap that I've seen and gone through with the legal system and it still has not ended........I'm still a "possession" a "right" even after all this time if I don't do or say what is demanded of me. I often feel it will never end until.......well, it just seems hopeless somedays, like today.
