This past year and a half has completely turned my life upside down. I am now ready to share my story in hopes that I can be an inspiration. Life is full of ups and downs. But we always have a choice. I am bringing my story in 3 parts. This is part one:
It was May 10th 2016. I had a dream the previous night. One of those lucid dreams that felt so real it stayed with me throughout the day. The dream was that my husband set me up. He shot me 5 times and instead of getting to the hospital, I was trying to get to the courthouse to file a divorce. Those words divorce kept ringing louder and louder in the dream. I woke up that morning and everything was normal. I got dressed, kissed my husband and 9 month old daughter, dropped my 7 year old off at school then went on in to work. I was self employed running by business full time. Life was good.
That evening, I came home and relieved my husband from daddy duty. He didn't work so he stayed at home with our daughter Summer while I went out and earned the money. The day went on as usual and he left to work out at the gym while I stayed home and began making dinner. Baked Chicken, rice and broccoli. Around 6:00 PM I'm in the kitchen and I look up and see a litter of plain clothed detectives. I yell out "HE'S NOT HERE!" speaking of my husband. The detective said "no, you we want you". I was charged with a 5 felony indictment in relation to some terrible things my husband had done in his recent past.
Ripped away from my children and hauled off to the county jail. I sat, cryed and prayed for 4 days. I made bond on May 13th and was released May 14th. Crazy, right? When I came home, we had $4,000 that I saved for emergencies. I gave $3,000 to my mother in law to help with my husband's bond and took the rest to an attorney as a down payment for services. I was broke. Life came crashing down as it often does. The magistrate issued a no contact order between my husband and I because we were now co-defendants. I was left alone with 2 kids, no money and a serious criminal case. I had never been in trouble in my life. I believed in my innocence and a part of me felt like this was a mistake and the courts would see that. Boy, was I wrong.
