IF feel like I am falling apart and mopes I AM actually completely clean and sober, in recovery, trying to take care of my court stuff. I wasn't prepared for the domestic violence issues that occurred and all the mess that has been left behind. I know I am co-dependent and need help with keeping him out of my life this time-but seven years of lots of memories, endless memories. From the day we met in in-patient treatment. the fights have been that big a deal, but this last one knocked me out and put it at a felony. SO many feelings I am struck blank and stupid. 13 months is longer than his usual 45 days.
I actually got clean when he got out of the picture-it wasn't around all the time.making it easier.
I don't want any big ordeals or drama-none of that crap, but he is wanting to take it to trial.
There is quiet a record with us, I do not understand why they keep pushing the court date back and why he would want to go to trial? I don't know that much about how the legal system works, and am not allowed to read police report but it seems really stupid to want to go to trial-I ended up going to the hospital and submitted the paperwork.
Why in the hell would he want to go to trail? I hear if it does and he loses then that possibly could just add more time.
Does anyone know a little more about the legal system and these types of domestic violence situations?

Make sure you take care of yourself during this time.  Step up your recovery as that will help.
