Florida is corredt when she says we all have our weak moments. I was under no Protective Order or court order restraints to prohibit my trip to my house (which my STBX is living in and has locked me out of). I went to pick up some much-neede firewood and in hopes he was home so I could get some things from inside. He was home, and when I removed the keys from the door lock and headed for my truck, telling him I was going to get a copy made, he pinned me against the truck and pryed my fingers back. After 1.5 wks of mulling it over, I filed a request fro Protect Order, which was denied, due to time span. One week later, he filed assault charges against me and for a Proyect Order, and his was granted (his very false and extreme charges). The trooper who served me asked why I went there alone??!! What could I say - despite all that has gone on in the past, it still hadn't registered with me that he would do something like this. I, too, have been going for counseling. I'm not a stupid person, just inexperienced in the ways of hurtful people. I hope the Court sees it that way.
