Last morning in court... make or break time...
Ex and his attorney and witnesses have taken up most of the time so far with their long-windedness and refusal to answer questions to the point, so I have only this morning to make my pitch as to why I should keep custody of the boy and why we should be allowed to move back to Australia...
The challenge is to rebut all the crap that's been put on the table, put forward my own rationale without exposing myself to harmful cross-examination and without it all degenerating into a meaningless, context-less, confusing scramble of words that peeters out into nothingness because time has run out...
Judge will then take it all away, read the evidence/exhibits and come back some indeterminate time later with a written decision...
I can do this...

well, its done.... the best I could do under the circumstances... not enough time to cover all of the rebuttal that ought to have been done...ex's attorney tried to sneak in some additional smears regarding my spiritual beliefs and practices and my facebook avatar - and not sure I handled the desirability of the move aspect effectively, AND I did the best I could with what I had... and the rest is in the hands of fate via the judge... he made it clear that his job is to decide what is best for the boy... he apologised (to me I think) for the difficulties of the relationship and the break-up.... he will issue a written judgement, that will come in the mail - no timeline on that.... so....
ReplyDeleteat the very last minute, ex's attorney (very conservative christian pastor on the side) tried to sneak in some additional smears regarding my shamanic spiritual beliefs and practices and my facebook avatar - underlining the "low cleavage" of the image and the language used in the message.... dont think he scored any points with that.... I am exhausted and feel sick....
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about that attempt to smear me because of my spiritual beliefs...
ReplyDeleteHe referred to my website metamind-spirit and read out the introduction on the landing page that talks about my "walking between the worlds" and asked if this was me?
I said "yes"
I wonder at his temerity... would he have made any comments to a Muslim woman wearing a veil?
I ought to have asked him if (a conservative christian) understood that Jesus was a shaman, walking on water and performing healing 'miracles', and creating food and wine out of nothing...
I ought to have asked him whether or not he wanted me burned at the stake...
Kinda shocking really, in this day and age, to have a male (or anyone) attempt to brand a woman as a witch and to imply that she is therefore crazy, demonic and unfit to mother her child....
