And thought if I could get an earlier idea I wouldn't make my IBS any worse with the additional stress. The worst part for me really is that he will be in the room. Thank you so much for your explanation.

Remember one thing. You are strong. You survived and that proves you are strong. You are intelligent and capable. You can do this and face him because you are all of those things.

I was deposed with my dog bite case. The dog owner was there with his lawyer also. I just told the truth as I remembered. My lawyer prepped me also, reminded me to say "yes" or "no" and DON'T speak unless asked a question. No head nods. I convinced myself to stay strong. It was emotional. There were times I wanted to cry or interrupt the defendant, but of course I didn't. I sat at a huge table and was able to squeeze my lawyer's thigh under the table, (really) when I felt myself starting to spaz.

(I had to call his wife and explain his bruises!!!

)

I'm like you, I worry. Take a deep breath. Your "ex" won't be able to talk back to you. You'll be fine. I looked at it as "what right is right and justice will prevail". And it did. HUGS

Of course, hey if I can help in anyway and this is it I say go for it. We got your back, and by "we" - I mean the whole forum.

My thoughts will be with you.

I am so thankful that I 'got out' so cleanly. (It wasn't me who wanted out though- to clarify)

I hope all of our dear PT friends realize all the struggles we are still facing, even one year later. It has so many facets, emotional, psychological, financial, legal.
It is just draining.

All the best Gayle.

Thinking of you, Gayle - good luck!

rose, how are you? I don't want to hijack Gayle's post, just haven't "seen" you for a while.
