Under the weather

[mrhtbd]

I read before that certian things wear down one's immune system and I think I am teettering on the line.
I don't drink, especially in this state, and I don't smoke.
Been trying to clean stuff out and it's taking it's toll on me.
I dropped off the rest of my winter wool and down for dry cleaning.
Will definately need them this winter as I don't plan on comfortable quarters.
I dropped off 4 large bags of clothes at the good-will bin.
Unfortuanately, my kids were with me, they are scared.
I am very close to them.

Talked to a local Constable last night at the pizza shop.
He told me to consult an attorney, but also that I better be prepared to move.
Reason, he said, was she can get a "Protection from abuse" by claiming I am threatening to her and/or the kids, whether I am/was or whatever. He said, "she calls it in, they have to serve it," and, "if it is served, it will be on me to:
1) prove it's not true (which is difficult and could take a while)
2) I'll have a Police record either way and that would destroy any chance of working for a school again, even if it's thrown out (because it will take so long to straighten out)."
Damn...totally fucked up.
So I'm doing what I need to, getting important papers safe, getting rid of things, and cutting my load.
I'm doing what I can, trying to move slowly and not stumble.
Needless to say I am not feeling well.

Meanwhile, I'm taking my girls to a movie tonight, while my wife will meet friends after work for drinks.
I'm f-ing screwed, I'm feeling it, but I try to maintain my balance by reminding myself I've been here before.
At age 6 my house burned down killing my mother and brother, everything was destroyed.
I grew up (11 years) in an orphanage, constantly moving from house to house.
I lived in 13 different homes and had 16 sets of parents by the time I was 17.
The night I graduated, I went back to the home, picked up a suitcase, 3 small boxes, and a check for $90.00.
He shook my hand and said, "Don't come back."

I feel like that again.
It's like Yogi Berra used to say, "It's deja-vu all over again."
Have a good day. I'm trying to make the best of it.
I'm Irish, that's all I can do.

Stress can really lower the immune system.

Hire a private detective. Do it now or you will regret it later.

He will have to serve it if he can catch you at home. Then there will be a hearing in front of a magistrate a few days or a couple of weeks later, and then it's "he said," "she said." If she doesn't have any evidence of abuse, say doctor report, or police report, it won't stand up. The burden of proof is only on you as long as she provides some damn good evidence there is ongoing abuse.

Get an attorney YESTERDAY! You are asking for trouble by getting advice on here instead of from a certified attorney! :rolleyes2
