[QUOTE="helpme, post: 327734, member: 8202"] Phew..been there done that (Been There Done That/This) I was charged with domestic battery on my 17 yo daughter in July on a Friday, arrested on Tuesday afternoon, and in court defending myself against an Emergency Order of Protection filed by my soon to be ex and my daughter. In January, I finally got a State's Attorney to listen to me. I demanded that the state show me discovery, which would include the current 5 y divorce proceedings and the still unresolved custody issues affecting our 3 children, the past child support issues, the Order of Protection issues with my son which lasted since 06 and are now finalized until '11, the numerous police reports of the daughter's behavior while in my custody, the visitation interference issues where my soon to be ex husband where he wouldn't return the sick children to my care nor take them for medical care. I told the SA that it if it was gonna cost me a thousand dollars for an attorney to defend myself that we better make sure the State of IL knows ALL of the information. A few clicks of the computer to verify the information led to a ..."case dismissed". I still need to see a counselor. I'm soooo happy that you got the help you needed. I bet the struggles with your career and insurance were/are tremendously stressful. As far as dex goes, I can totally relate. I won't even go into my opinions on people like him or my STBX. As far as the child on the stand, been there done that, my youngest was 12 and she was highly respected when she had her turn explaining the truth about her siblings and her/their dad. The pain from the incident and from the children situations after the incident is atrocious. I now have to deal with a 17 y old brat who insists it is her right to (my wording--corrupt) her sister. I realized in the beginning that I was not truly fighting the child or children, but the STBX. But also in realizing that, it makes me very vulnerable to the children's manipulation and domination as well. I'm glad your attorney did a good job. My proceeding was within our divorce case by the same judge. I'm sure it will be in my benefit in the long run. I wish you the best in your fight for your son, and in returning to your job and some security. It's a long journey and remember to take care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
