My T came to court to testify for my protection order. It was very reassuring for me.

As for files, I wish my lawyer had discussed this with me. Ex's lawyer did the disclosure thing and demanded access to years worth of journals I had written, which included ex's horrible behavior. I thought about burning them all and saving myself the humiliation. T helped me see that ex is the one who should have been humiliated for the way ex treated me. My coping methods might have been bad in the long run, got me thru the abusiveness of marriage and were nothing to be humiliated about.

Hope your T and lawyer do right by you and you get the no-contact RO.
