Monday I have court against my child's father for a dvp. I am so clueless on how to handle this. We were together for 2 years and looking back it wasn't great but it wasn't the worse. He is very Munipulative and had me so convinced that I was nothing without him so when I found out he was cheating on me he blamed me for it and I let him at some point I blamed myself. I was always begging for him to come back and promising that I would change that I would get better. I started going to counseling which has helped open my eyes greatly. I had one set back where my child and I were out getting ice cream and I texted him asking for him back again but I quickly snapped out of it. My therapist told me to just cut off all contact the last time he cussed me out so I did, I stopped calling and texting him all together. Well now his girlfriend, her friends, his family and himself are harassing me big time. I blocked them all on social media and my phone so he started calling me from his job threatening me so I went and got the dvp, he did the same thing to his ex girlfriend and she was granted a year long dvp but of course I believed him when he said he was innocent. Now comes the issue though, since he only threatened me on the phone and in person how is that gonna work? It was all in front of my family but won't a judge look at it as that's my family so they could be saying anything. I've never been to court before so I'm super nervous and the thought of seeing him terrifies me. He has hit me before and I have witnesses to that but again it's my family because he never let me have friends around or I'd be accused of sleeping with them.
