AWESOME AWESOME DAY!

Just a quick note here before heading out to spend time with my family...

I had court today for a restraining order and custody/visitation modification against my son's Dad. I was granted everything I had requested. So effective immediately I can move! Additionally my son's father cannot contact us in any way shape or form for the next three years. Although I will most likely continue the restraining order even after that, as I have nothing to say to the man except to tell him to drop dead for the evil he did.

I have an appointment with an assistance program to relocate and if all goes well by the time school starts in the fall the children and I should be moved away from home and starting our new lives far from this nightmare. Although the nightmare itself will never really be over, we can heal hearts and souls away from the craziness of living in a small town where everyone THINKS they know what is really going on.

I have three little ones who have forever been impacted by the horrors this man perpetrated. A part of me wishes I could undo everything in my life since January of 2007. But then I wouldn't have my baby boy... and I have to tell you, it has been his need for Mommy to keep it together and be emotionally balanced that has kept me from going over the deep end in this most devastating year of 2009.

Anyway, effective today, I legally free of the ties that bound me to this man and from being able to move on with my life. I have sole legal and physical custody with NO visitation to this man for our son. I have the restraining order preventing ANY contact by him or someone he sends to pass messages. And so now...

It is time for healing~ there will still be difficult times through the invistigation progress and through the trial. But I know now that my family will be ok even through this difficult time. Especially knowing that we will have a sanctuary far away from all the memories here...
