[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 434568, member: 4264"] Thank you all. I've decided that I'm going to choose a day next weekend when easy child is at her dad's, and tackle my emotions head on via preparing my victim impact statement. I know it will be required and will help with sentencing but also will help me so I want it done right. I have a feeling it will come out more helpfully and be more theraputic if I don't wait until it's all going down at once with all kinds of information coming at me about the depth of charges and new revelations about the unknown victims that have come forward. When it all happens, charges come, I'll be learning about these other women and I can't imagine it won't be emotional in and of itself. To get the most release from the statement I need to write, I'm going to do it before he is arrested and before all the new information comes at me and perhaps has me overwhelmed. Until that day next weekend, I'm going to just keep focused on helping S/O with his work efforts, get my canning started which I much enjoy etc. My cousin called out the blue to ask to come by last night with her b/f to play euchre. When she came in she gave me a huge hug and a look passed from her to me. Without words I completely understood her message, telling me she's glad her part of giving a statement is over, that she is hugely relieved to have gone through with it and is proud of herself and of me. It felt good to see a peace in her, a huge release in her. She's more a sister to me than a cousin, we've been through a lot together. I'm incredibly proud of her and so happy to see her less burdened. It was a reminder of why this is so important and why I was pushing and put myself in the middle of this all to get it started. It was a good moment. [/QUOTE]
