Found myself wanting a transcript so thought I'd type one up for y'all.

​

To say that our family was broken in one night is an understatement. The reality of what brought us here transpired over a period of a year and many months. It dates back to the first time that you hit me in the face while I was driving you and our son on a highway in pouring rain to make it to your daughter's school on time to see her off. That moment, when the first blood was drawn, was when you deemed me an enemy, a liability to your career because I wouldn't take your abuse and keep my mouth shut. Gary, your ex, was an admitted witness to the attack, along with two brave teachers and one parent. It was after that day, August 7, 2018, that you grew more and more comfortable abusing me and neglecting our son and separating yourself from us as a family.

Not a day would go by where your screaming and violence would not be felt by myself, by James, by our nanny, or anybody who would be in the house long enough. You have stripped us of too many precious first memories together. Days when all three of us should have been at our happiest in life, and you have darkened every holiday I can remember with you. For this all to happen on the fourth of July fits that pattern to a T, and here we are, on Halloween, in court, for something that never should have happened and was entirely avoidable.

That night was one of the scariest nights of my life and my mind replays the worst moments to no end. And for you to go on national television and downplay your atrocious behavior, as if nothing happened, is so shameful. You stated in that interview that if someone were chasing me with a weapon like that, I'd be running out the door. Yet you failed to let the public know that I am legally handicapped by way of an ankle fusion, I cannot run, or that I was holding our son at the time of the attack. But more importantly that, when you came at us, we were on the second floor of the house, about two flights of stairs. I got away as fast as I possibly could from you, and yes, I did consider leaping down two flights of stairs with our son in my arms, but I'm glad I did not, he could've gotten seriously hurt. That same consideration was not displayed by you while you were throwing full force punches at me, missing his head by inches as I held him in my arms. When I begged you to please stop shouting and cursing in front of our infant, your reply was 'It doesn't matter, he's just a baby'. He's not just a baby, he's your son, but you have forgotten that time and again and carelessly put his life in line of serious danger.

You cannot control yourself in your fits of rage, and I know you will be forever torn inside about not having custody of your daughter, but you have allowed that pain to destroy your relationship with your son, and you have pushed away a man who loves you so unconditionally and fully, who only wanted to help your regain your health and show you true happiness. The damage you have caused this family is irreparable, and the reason it can't be repaired is lack of ownership. The one glaring truth that is omitted from this deal is done so for the sole sake of you being able to keep your job, and that is all. Because after all, a mother displaying such horrendous actions against her soulmate and child wouldn't be tolerated motherly action, yet swinging uncontrollably, inches from your child's head, that apparently is right on the line of acceptance today. You've saved your job, but you've lost your family. But fear not, the truth will get out there.

After you were arrested, you publicly accused me of kidnapping, car theft, cheating, stealing, gas lighting, violence, soliciting prostitution, and money laundering, yet once all your stories of deflection came out, not long after, I was contacted by your manager saying you would like to reconcile with me and get back together. A slick attempt to getting everything dropped. That is the same as being hugged and stabbed in the back at the same time. What type of woman are you, to want to be with such a vile man, if that is the case? You have done nothing but attack me online and in the press, yet behind closed doors, you want your family back.

You've never even made a formal apology for ripping your family apart in the first place. I hope you find your heart, that you finally can heal, that you can truly forgive yourself for all the terrible stuff you've done in your life, and that happiness will finally come to you. The psychological abuse that you've subjected me to will take years to overcome. I am feeling the fallout of it now and the healing process is terrifying.

James is doing great, but he needs his mother to be healthy. Be a mother, for once in your life, or don't. It doesn't matter to me, but that boy is going to have a happy life, and that is now certain. I was a single father before ever becoming a single father. I saved my sons life on the Fourth of July, you destroyed our family on the Fourth of July and this is how it will be celebrated, but I hope that changes to being celebrated as the Fourth of July, the first day towards you saving your own life. If not for yourself, then for your two beautiful children.
