ok what about the other way? abuse from the care receiver to giver?
Protctive orders cancel out when she files first and then hit your car with your leg in the door . Becuase i coikd have walked in with a stumb on and crutches and they had said conflict of interest . When lyou have woman use the judges and cops and the most powerful way to abuse of a disabled husband . But yet this state is so against domestic violence . Your fiull of shit. Becuase no knows or want to know of the woman knowly lie or when proved in court. The judicial system nor the law enforcement wants to be legally sued. That they incarcerated the victim. Amd not only got the federal funds for these thimgs And also now take your disability checks for your fines when you are the victim. That is how corupt and greedy this state is . When you and revenue. Dteady income .
And not only probably killed there parents and financially drain them but continue to drain mine after making me pay for there father's house for 9 years and was supposed to get it but sold it for 10,000 a paid for house and now I'm having to pay the taxes on her mom's house she has t paid in two years n parts for car. And making me do nothing but work on her card n bikes .
For somebody like her that is willing to fight, and is willing to stand up for what's right and wants to continue doing things no matter what her disability is is totally amazing. I think I just found a new role moddel! I'm proud of you Mary Kate!
