Yesterday was an amazing day. I cannot stress enough how happy I was with the outcome. What orginally happened on the second courtdate they offered myself to take the simple assault charge, when I punched Gary in the back for self defense, and Gary take the assault on a female charge and then both of our drug charges would be dropped and dismissed. I thought this plea offer was ridiculous! I called the police for HELP and then they want to charge me with simple assault?! I immediately told my lawyer I refuse to take that plea bargain.

After having my other court date of the no-contact order, Gary admitted in court that he put his hands on me. So when yesterday came up the District Attorney was on my side, for once finally, and dropped my charges and Gary admitted to being guilty in that situation so he took the offer to get a Prayer for Judgement where he cannot get in trouble for 2 years or else the assault on a female will not be dismissed and he will be charged and put behind bars. So now basically he is on unsupervised probation and cannot have any contact with me for a complete year.

This couldn't work out any better then it went. For once my town sees that I wasn't in the wrong and actually stood up for me. I didn't do this to ruin his life. I gave Gary MULTIPLE chances to keep his hands off of me, even had to call the police in some altercations we had. The cops always asked me why I never pressed charges and I always responded "I want him to see the wrong he is doing, rather then ruin his life and career." But this time he just went way too far and he had to deal with the consequences of his actions.

As for me this is one step closer to getting my son back! I still haven't been talking to my mom. I noticed ever since I closed her out of my life temporarily, my life has been stress / drama free! I can honestly say that my life has changed for the better and I'm SO HAPPY! :)

I cannot wait to move, buy a house soon, and start my own little family with my future fiance'.
