Hello all ... I learned that the state's attorney is NOT going to dismiss the case as he'd promised. Supposedly my mother-in-law threatened to go talk to the media if he did. My aunt is a secretary in his office, and my mother-in-law thinks I'm getting special treatment because of that. Honestly - if that made any difference, I wouldn't have been charged in the first place.
However, the state's attorney has offered me a pretty good deal, all things considered. Minimal fine, 6 months court supervision, and no followup counselling or anger-management needed, based on my psych eval. After 6 months, assuming no problems, the case is dismissed and it doesn't show on my record. I'd hoped my character would get me out of this, but at least it has made things a lot easier on me. I think they're even trying to see if they can get it down to 3 months of courst supervision.
So now i need to see if my wife will follow through on her child support and visitation offer. I also need to figure out if I can continue my DCFS appeal, or if I automatically lose when this happens.
I guess one of the things that bothers me most is that I have always loved my mother-in-law, and I don't understand why she hates me like this. I'm just praying that her eyes would be opened to the evil that she is doing. My father-in-law, her husband, is a good man, and I think he's keeping his mouth shut ... it'd be nice if he could talk some sense into her, but I can't blame him for wanting to avoid her wrath.
But I'll end with this: The enemy is pressing in all around me, but God is with me. God has been good to me.
