For the past 5 years, I’ve been dealing with someone who has pathologically lied, manipulated, gaslit, and abused me. The actual story feels like it’s out of a true crime podcast so I’ll spare the details here.

2 weeks ago, I filed for a restraining order that was denied ex-parte. The hearing was yesterday. He brought a lawyer and they tried so hard to discredit me and minimize all of this into a “messy breakup”. The judge deliberated on his decision for an hour, but I GOT IT!!!

The judge did get one detail wrong so we’ll see what happens with that, but for now, I feel so relieved. It’s almost as if someone was constricting my airways and I can finally breathe now. Since the day I decided to file for a restraining order, I’ve wanted justice. Justice for what he did to me and what he did to other women.

Now we heal.
