Going up against a self absorbed human

Going up against a self absorbed human

i’m deeply saddened with the justice system and what I learnt today from my Lawyers. what I’ve gone through and had to stand up against and what I’ve worked towards I don’t know how I’m still standing,

I had a lappointment today to prep for court next week, and I asked my Lawyers “ what I can put in place to protect myself from him doing this again and ‘’my lawyer response was you can’t. There’s nothing stopping him from doing it again” it broke me. The system is so flawed and I can’t work out how he’s gotten away with it. I’m not abusing drugs. &DHS will not even get involved with me because I’m no threat..

I struggle to explain In words the pain I go through every day and what I carry. It saddens me how my ex-husband has gotten away with this so easily with no evidence, and I just know there would be other people out there that have gone through this I want to work out how I can tell my story to help others because something has to change. This is not okay.

And because I’ve gone through this, I know how hard it is to explain to people of how debilitating life is now & half the world is made up of people like this, and it’s so scary how they can use the justice system against good people only based on their delusion I feel like there needs to be more education because I would not want anybody to go through what I’ve gone through. This is helped me get this off my chest and out of my head tonight. Thank you for letting me vent

Hi @Aggie sorry for your suffering at the hands of someone who is using the legal system the way it often gets used to harm someone vulnerable.

Lawyers can sometimes be obsessed with winning and not so much with the process. This helped me through my own legal struggles. I guess there are things we can't control about the legal system . I had a shit lawyer Unfortunately and not the right lawyer for me. I couldn't afford more.

I hope you are doing okay ....legal battles are certainly the opposite of good

Re: Going up against a self absorbed human

@EternalFlower thank you for reaching out and you are a so correct about Lawyers just wanting one thing and that’s to win the case. I’m glad you mentioned this because I feel like the lawyers have minimised me and I don’t matter and I realise now that is just an old Trauma talking. The justice system is flawed and it is out of my control I don’t need to take the weight on of that as well as what I’m going through. I’m sorry you went through the justice system it really wears and tears you down
