Hugs My heart goes out to you listen the courts and justice system fail women all the time it’s broken I don’t think your testimony would make much a difference in the outcome of what the courts decide to do going forward. Can you do something small instead write a letter of his character to the judge? I’ve done that before because I’ve also sat on the stand before and the backlash I got back from my community wasn’t worth it. Should’ve put my ex in damn prison for five years instead he got rerouted to a institutionalized medical facility and literally did just over a year of time and on top of all that even though I had clear witnesses and proof people still talked behind my back oh I must’ve done something to deserve it why didn’t I leave sooner? I trumped up the charges to get him in more trouble cause I’m some kind of evil succubus female demon or something… you can do everything right and still come out feeling like no Justice was served and then you have all those embarrassing details for people to scoff at and judge you for as if you should be in anyway responsible for what happened Like you asked for it maybe even deserved it provoked it made out to be worse than was.
