I am clear in my choices and gearing up to do whatever I must to move the divorce to completion. I am also keenly aware that as he starts to get that he is in fact not gaining control or saving face, that his tactics are likely to ramp up again. This will put me on 'amber alert" again in my plans and movements. I am hopeful that the TPO be renewed on the 19th when it is set to expire.
I am by now used to the threats made through his attorney and the ramblings and verbal assaults on my character in the community. The thing is I have lived here and worked here for 23 years. Those that know me, I do not worry about. Those that don't know me I no longer worry about either as I have had to develop a thicker skin to survive this past year.
I am going all in and out on that limb with no more than the truth and some very concrete professionals to support the boundaries for Sarah. Her health and well-being are priority number one. The rest I will risk, for her protection. His cruelty will not be given free reign, without being challenged and judged in court. I know he may attempt some drama before court, but I am trusting God to continue to foil his efforts to harm. I have seen him do this repeatedly throughout this past year. God has come through over and over again.
Like Miss Berta said, "woman is like a bag of tea, she doesn't really know how strong she is until she is in hot water"/ The water is getting hot again, I am not shaking and I am not cowering anymore. The healing I've had this past year has empowered me to face this from a peaceful calm center. Immanuel means "God with us. Indeed."
