My mother met someone at the court yesterday, who agreed to give her a ride and help with translation for 50$. Thanks to the kind lady, my mother was able to turn in the ex-parte restraining order papers, and my mom should receive a letter in a few days for a court date to get the official restraining order on Ovidio. Justice is being served, and we are being protected by law, so that we never have to face that evil man ever again, nor will my mom and siblings. I need to fill an ex-parte for myself from Ovidio, and I will be adding the reasons why I want it, which are because of emotional trauma, threatening, and stalking. This will protect me from him as if he violates this order, not only will he face severe consequences, but he will also be likely deported back to Guatemala. So, I will fill that out today after work as I am on my lunch break right now, but after I'm done with my ex-parte, I will turn it in at the court. I'm not sure who can give me a ride. I'll ask Joe if he can give me a ride to the court at 7:30am on Monday or sometime during that week. Maybe Tuesday as Monday always gives me an anxious feeling since it's the start of a new week. I'll see who can take me to the court for the official restraining order. I'll talk to my mom about this but for now, my mom's safety and siblings are more important, and they finally have some protection for them away from Ovidio. Depending on the time of my mom's court appointment in a few weeks, I will probably be absent for that entire day from work or I'll arrive somewhat late even if it means that I won't be paid the hours that I don't work. If the appointment is at 7:30AM, then I will stay home with the kids and just strongly hope my mom arrives before 9:45am, so I have time to arrive at work by 10:00am. I might not put a restraining order on myself since the transportation part is tricky, and I rather just be worried about that for my mom. I will talk to my mom about this and see what we will do, but the most important thing is that my mom has a temporary restraining order. That man will never enter our lives again and abuse us. I feel a huge sense of freedom. This chapter of my life is finally coming to an end. I am so full of gratitude right now. Thank you, God.
