Hey LilSis,

Prayers to you today, LilSis, that the court will not only uphold the law, but also look at justice. I'm also praying that the Lord will also use this day to soften your husband's heart towards his wife and family.

How about a letter campaign to the district attorney's office (from Marriage Builders Members) regarding adulterous homewreckers and how they make betrayed spouses' lives miserable? That letter was the reason for the loss of the plea agreement?

A very good friend of mine was baited [very intentionally] by a woman who knew how to work the system and decided she had a personal bone to pick.

The woman started harrassing her when she stepped out of an elevator...and continued taunting and invading her space and making threats.

My friend made a very poor judgement in frank fear and suprise and pushed the womans arms down and away from her [she did not strike her or attack her in any way it was a purely defensive reflex].

The *instant* my friend touched her the woman punched her dead in the face then went straight to the police to press assault charges.

People who know how to manipulate the system can make a lot of trouble...you have to be able to anticipate their rotten sneaky arrows and not fall for the bait...the injustice system is interested in what is CIVIL not what is JUST.

I'm really sorry you got tangled in this knot and I sincerely hope that she gets what is coming to her sooner rather than later.

By the way...my apology letter would be an epic of passive aggressive glory.

A veritable THESIS on the pain of affairs and irresponsible choices.

Why yes - tell all that you have learned about A's, and how they are damaging to EVERYBODY involved. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

(I would also use the word selfishness a lot, as well as the phrase "rut like a pig" a la Mel.)

most likely this was a victims letter to the court... not to Lilsis.

what is the mindset of a person like RT?
a married woman w/ children who has an affair w/ a married man w/ children........and then writes a letter defending her adultrous behavior and trying to play victim?

I don't understand how anyone could have that much nerve.
I don't understand how anyone (LS's WH) could support her @ this issue. it blows my mind.

Something to the tune of...it is easier to change your beliefs than to change your behavior.

I believe her to be a typical WS....not taking responsibility for her part in things.... being a victim which justifies her actions... etc.
If her goal is to get Lilsis out of the way...she will stop at nothing to do so. If I were in Lilsis's shoes, I would just keep cool and leave this woman be... everything from this point forward needs to go through her WH. RT knows that Lilsis is behind the 8 ball now.... or so she thinks. If I were Lilsis, I would sit down and write out my story and send it off to the local papers... they LOVE this kind of stuff. It screams scandal! It will help shine a light on the problems that exist for a person trying to keep their family together.
The thing that concerns me most about this whole thing.... and today went as well as it could have... is that this is a MAJOR hurdle for Lilsis and her WH. Imagine the resentment that can build over something like this.... frankly, this would have been a deal breaker for me. I sincerely hope that the WH was there to show Lilsis some support... but doubt it..... He allowed the mother of his children.... his wife.... to be sentenced for a crime that only happened because HE was doing the wrong thing! All Lilsis was doing was trying to save her M..... This is shameful.
IMHO... today would have been day 1 of plan B if my spouse wasn't there supporting me.
