My monster's sycophants signed the Agreement Friday

[lighter]

Well, the sycophants tried to meet the Friday 5pm deadline, but were too incompetent to get everything done.... so I'm told. 

That means they failed to meet the deadline.

Hmmm....... now I have a decision to make regarding honoring the Agreement or not.... the deadline was very clear.  They had months to get this done. 

Why oh why do the monsters always always push everything beyond the point of reason?

Because they can't help themselves....
I get that very clearly.

These aren't the monsters I'm fighting... these are their hired sycophants.

No dog on this fight beyond their complete shock at being challenged by me.

No dog beyond being humiliated, and not wanting to be held accountable for what they've done.

I'll have to give some thought as to the Agreement, and the fact the monsters not only missed their deadline, they jerked me around on crafting the agreement and trying to make changes, which was clearly a deal breaker for me.  My attorneys didn't clue me in... they were overtly focused on getting the deal done.  I understand that, and why, but.....

there were marching orders and they should have been considered, if not followed, IMO.

My attorney wants this to be over... very much.   They want me to get on with my life, and put this behind me.  I get that too.

Attorneys never understand what the monsters are until the monsters show them everything... they have to see everything with their own eyes or it's not real, and I get that too, it's just that..... everything happens to me, and I'm a bit tired of being reactive, though it's worked pretty well, truth be told. 

We win every trial... everything, even the ones we lose, the decisions are reversed, and we win.  Every time. Even when the monsters own the Judge or the GAL, or whichever court officer they manage to manipulate or buy off... and there's always one in every case... they still lose.

But like I said.... these aren't the monsters we're actually fighting right now.  These are the monster's sycophants.  Their actions are confusing, frankly.  My attorney thinks they're scared that i won't honor the deal, and he believes they tried to honor it, but weren't competent enough to manage it.  It pleases him that they have to go through the holiday not knowing if the Agreement is good, or if they have to go to trial, or give more in another Agreement.  My attorney believes they'd rather crush their ankles than go to trial... and so I wonder, again, why I have to pay so much to let them off the hook?  Why does it always have to cost me tens of thousands of dollars to negotiate with terrorists?

My attorney believes they aren't f*cking with me.... he believes they're just incompetent, but they've been screwing with us since they became involved.... that's just a fact.  Not my opinion.  My attorney goes back and forth between speaking the truth, and trying to play peace maker.... I'm getting a tad bit bored with it, though I adore this attorney, and his entire staff.... truly I think they're wizards. 

For me, the fact that the sycophants are incompetent does very little to discourage me from holding them accountable in front of a trial Judge who's been represented to me as "a very good Judge" by the attorney I trust more than anyone in the world.

I believe that attorney, and I've trusted him with my life wisely.  He's never wrong.  What he says is always the truth, and so I believe him... of course I do.

My current attorney knows this Judge and believes he'd be fair also.

These monster sycophants had one last chance to do the right thing, and simply NOT screw with us.  That was the deal... that was part of this Agreement, and what do they do instead?

What they have always done.  They've shown who they are, once again.  They've gone above and beyond to cover their own asses at our expense, and now I have a bit of time to consider what that means going forward.

I used to quake at the idea of court.  I'm not quaking any more.  This isn't my first rodeo as they say. 

Things rarely go well for monsters who have erroneous information to justify their heinous f*ckery, and sometimes actually watching them lay it out, then fail to come up with ANY documentation or facts is worth the time and trouble of being in the harsh light of a courtroom with them..... bc we have all our evidence and documents and it's all digital this time.   Wizards I tell you.

I don't know what I'll do, but I do believe the monsters or sycophants will DO something to force my hand. They always do.  We'll just have to enjoy the holiday then take a look at my attorney's final bill then think on this again.

I don't know or understand the ins and outs of this truly dreadful situation that you've been in for so long now, other than the fact that it has been such a huge (unwanted) part of your life and has brought with it such pain, stress and financial expense.

You will work out the way forward that's best for you and your girls.  As I've sorted through all our years of false allegations and harassment and been through multiple investigations I found that my first priority was protecting my son.  My second was to get out of the situations we were in as quickly as possible (in order to avoid the stress and upset).  The third was to try and find ways to stop it from happening again (or at least minimise the chances).  I don't know how that would relate to your situation as things are different for each person but you will let things organise themselves in your mind and you'll know what your next step needs to be.

Does honouring the agreement work in your favour?  Would it put an end to all of this, give you back your peace, draw a line under the whole situation?  Or does it give them ways to carry on causing problems and tangling other people up in their weird and crazy world?

I hope you can enjoy your holiday despite this and that the answers you need come up for you over the next few days xxx

Your determination to upstand as you participate in the unfolding of these events has been truly amazing.  I hear your frustration, yet you meet each challenge with such mastery, all while you love and care for your girls.  I think you are amazing.

((((Lighter)))).

Do your attorneys want it to be over because:
--they have Seen It All and believe getting it over with is the real win, more than anything else that could be negotiated?

OR

--they think the grandparents are wearing out and the deadline miss is part of that?

OR
--they're tired of the case themselves? (I realized that my wonderful atty couldn't wait for my case with Nbrother to be over, because being around Nbrother was in some ways as toxic to my attorney as to me)

(My Nbrother just ignored settlement drafts until he had started to give up and realize he wasn't going to win. Took a year+. And oh so many atty fees.)

If it's wearing out or disorganization or poor representation on the other side, you're winning. If not signing just signals they are NOT accepting the agreement, then is the issue still going? (And more atty fees. Ugh.)

I'm sorry I don't understand it all but send you calm, perspective, support, and great hopes it will all end soon and you and the girls will be secure and at peace.

I'm guessing because it's opaque, but your headline says they did sign the agreement, so the rest you're referring to is unclear to me...unless it's some documentation they needed to provide that was incorporated into the Agreement (some kind of Exhibits?) and they are missing pieces of that?

Because ... is the situation that the Agreement is moot without all the exhibits that are part of it or referenced in it? So their signing it doesn't mean anything, or DOES mean something but they've left out some piece/s of the document? Oy, my head hurts.

OK....
My attorney wants this legal mess to be over for me.

If the monsters force us to go to trial, my attorneys would take opposing counsel apart to the best of his very capable abilities.  I like to believe they'd enjoy doing it, and press every matter to the fullest possible extent it could be pressed, no matter what that  means for the bad actors. 

My attorney believes that opposing counsel understands his risk and will avoid a trial.... there is risk for all of us.  When I look at the risk, my risk is very small, and includes another round of this same legal f*ckery through another corrupt Trustee monster's sycophant put in place by the Judge. 

If this case were to go to trial I highly doubt that would cross a fair Judge's mind.

Here's the thing... the monsters aren't shy about taking risks and doing things that don't make any sense.  They   WOULD  do terrible crazy things to keep me mired in court.  When monsters DO that, they manufacture evidence that shows everyone who they truly are.  Sometimes they're criminals poking at a powerful wizard super hero attorneys who don't like lying bullying bullies.

Maybe these bully monsters are destined to be examples to the world... in law schools, the family courts?

Or not.

That's all I'm say'ing.

Well.... what did you decide Lighter?

Granted you're being careful in what you say here, and that none of us can know all the ins/outs of what's going on... it sounds (to me) that you know what you want. And that others think this might be a tad too much/too far.

My response would be: OH REALLY?

If you need this agreement to finally have peace... then, I think you already know that.
And if the monsters & their sycophants are playing games... (incompetence notwithstanding)... you are still entitled to want what you want here. Even if that's an inconvenience to your attorneys.

But on the other hand, if the agreement still doesn't give you what you need (and yes, I think I can see why you think it won't) well then, wrap this venture up as neatly as possible and just be done with it. Save your energy for anything else bizarre you think the monsters might dream up.

Best I can do, with not a lot of solid details to go on.

So, what did you decide?

Hi Amber:

I've decided to settle, bc the main body of my attorney's fees have gone to cover my arse, and procure title insurance no one wanted to issue.  The reason they didn't want to issue was bc of all the criminal shenanigans my Interpersonal Terrorists  or ITs (better than monsters, IMO) pulled years ago, and that's not the sycophant's fault.

IF I mounted up, and charged it would only please the ITs, and that's not my goal.

My goal is to get out as quickly as can be managed without further compromising my position, and strengthening the IT's.

So.... if this thing settles... I'll let it.

Thanks for checking up on me; )

Interpersonal Terrorist is a brilliant phrase, Lighter!

I am glad you've been able to reach a decision with regards to what happens next.  If this stage is settled, does that mean that's it?  Free forever? xx

[lighter]

Yes, yes, yes, Tup.

Interpersonal Terrorists ITs feels exactly right to me.

Of course, we can't use that term in polite company, IME, but I think on this forum it's perfect.

((Tupp))

I'm glad this legal stuff seems to be over too.

Y'all DO realize that now the NSA is going to be following our little forum?
 

Well, maybe those poor folks need a little deep therapy....

Hops

Oh dear.....

::waving to the NSA people::

You're right, Hops... I think they'd benefit from a bit of therapy.
