A Second Order of Protection

This time I went to get the order in court to protect my life and the life of my daughter. And it wasn't an easy battle to be fought. It meant making choices for my daughter and choosing life over material possessions. And facing my husband in court for several hours. Given that his lawyer objected to the venue which put us in an additional hearing and then the process took three hours for the whole hearing. It did include breaks to have other peoples orders heard. And yet in the history of the shelter, it was the longest amount of time to get an order of protection. He fought not for me, but for the right to see our daughter. And in the end he stuck his foot in his mouth so much that he almost lost that right completely.
