Title: Facing the music Post by: smartwoman220 on November 24, 2013, 02:36:17 PM Soo... .
Things are coming full circle. My ex ( who I recently posted about) is on his way back to Georgia. Not because he wanted to, but because he has unresolved legal issues here and is being extradited to resolve them. He had two failure to appear warrants. One for the DUI and the other for our assault charge. His mother and brother called me to let me know that he had been arrested. He had told them how I supported him through his friend's sickness, and they were hoping i could help them find a lawyer and see if i could speak to the judge, or the bondsman to see if they would allow him to make other arrangements to travel. I told his brother that he need not contact me about him... .that he need to contact current girlfriend. He brother simply stated that he wanted me to know what is going on, because he knows I love his brother and his brother loves me. My closest friends are talking about forming a justice league of sorts, lol... .too keep me from trying to help or be be involved. They are frightened that once all his issues are resolved here, he will be looking to try something with me. Luckily for them, I'm done. |iiii I did not want to see him in pain or in jail. I did contact some friends of mine that might be able to help once he gets back in GA. I put them in direct contact with his mom, so he never has to know I sent him some help. I just want him to better... .I want him to be happy. Eventually All my contact numbers will be changed and my email too. Ii just got a new job, so, I will be making all new contacts. That gives me an escape... .:) I do think about him a lot. I know that I still love him... .and I know that I have go to keep very busy so that I'm no tempted to get an update from his mother. Send your positive energy my way... . Title: Re: Facing the music Post by: ShadowDancer on November 24, 2013, 02:51:57 PM Mine called me four months after the fact. Wanted me to throw her bail on a DUI. I said "I would not *** on you if you were on fire". Harsh, ugly, yes. Affirming, enforcing, clear boundaries, yes. ALL CONTACT info IMMEDIATELY was changed. POOF! The Shadow is gone baby gone!
How is my life today. GREAT! New employment. New car. New home. New relationship. All good and getting better. It's a brand new day! :) Sending you vibes... . Title: Re: Facing the music Post by: Surnia on November 24, 2013, 03:00:07 PM Wow, quite a ride!
Sending you a lot of strong energy - for yourself that you can maintain good boundaries and follow your goals with your new job. Title: Re: Facing the music Post by: bpdspell on November 24, 2013, 04:38:15 PM Smartwoman,
Not your job. Let his family figure out how to help your ex out on their own. Subtly dragging you into the muck…not cool. If you ask me…they're kinda overstepping their boundaries in a manipulative kind of way. You aren't his wife and he has a new girlfriend. Done and done. You can love him but love yourself more. That is my wish for you. As for him. Pray for him and wish him the best. We can love people without coming to their rescue and quite honestly our ex's need to gulp the soup of their own personal failures. Perhaps it will drive them to get the help they so desperately need.

He might actually get an opportunity to get some sercives he needs in prison. Title: Re: Facing the music Post by: smartwoman220 on November 25, 2013, 06:44:13 AM Hey guys! Thanks for the well wishes. I realized the moment this all came up that it wasn't my fault. His mom kind of tried to pull me in saying " this pertains to you"
Well... .no it doesn't. He skipped bail because he didn't want to get in trouble, He thought he could run far away and hide from all the wrong he's done, and never have to pay for it. While he was running, having a great time and living it up and building a new "family", I was here in Georgia with egg on my face. I had to start completely over, from scratch... .Alone with my son. I spent almost an entire year alone, sorting through the junk that used to be my thoughts, lonely, sad and almost damn near miserable... .Wondering why it was ok for me to suffer alone. But it is ok... .like I said, I don't want to see him hurt, but I am just a teensy bit glad that Karma showed her face. The dichotomy... . As far as the help he needs... .I've arranged for a counselor who works with vets to meet with him once he gets to the local jail. The group that he works with a great amount of pull with the court system. Depending on his evaluation ( and of course his willingness to cooperate) they may be able to negotiate for him to spend time in a rehabilitation center fro his alcoholism instead of doing 120 days or more in jail. I do have a ( big mushy) heart. I know that as much as he pretends to be this tough guy, he really isn't bout that life, and he wouldn't fare well locked away. He would be worse. So, at this point, its up to him. |
