[21:08] IsambardPrince It becomes a box ticking exercise. [21:08] IsambardPrince There's nothing to take from me. [21:08] IsambardPrince I'm good at box ticking. [21:09] IsambardPrince When they sentenced me over that spat between me and John I had most of it knocked out within a week and then there was nothing they could do, and I got my expungement. [21:11] IsambardPrince He only cried when I told him I signed for a new apartment and the movers would be there on Wednesday. [21:12] IsambardPrince He asked me if there was a way I could cancel the new lease. [21:12] IsambardPrince Up until that it was calling me filthy things, some in English, some in Tagalog, every day, mocking my disabilities, mocking the pain I was in. Telling me I was useless and a drain on him because I was on disability. [21:14] IsambardPrince If I knew then what I know now I would have just gotten an annulment and sent another letter to USCIS saying the marriage legally never existed and he could have dealt with his case falling apart and an order to leave the country. [21:15] IsambardPrince I only helped him because I thought that somewhere, he loved me. Every year I stayed with him he got worse. He got more violent. His hatred of me became more open. He became more defiant. [21:16] IsambardPrince Then when I left he accused me of hiding significant amounts of money and said he would get a lawyer and come after me, and I laughed and told him you go ahead and do that. [21:16] IsambardPrince He was stunned. Like, to find out lawyers cost money and he would not get anything except a bill from a lawyer. [21:18] IsambardPrince Abusive people will do anything to stay in control, even when they inflict more harm on themselves than the victim. [21:18] IsambardPrince A rational person looks at a situation and calculates, "What is the best outcome for my life, my finances, and my future?" An abusive person asks, "How do I keep the upper hand?" If keeping the upper hand costs them thousands of dollars in legal fees they can't afford, ruins their housing situation, or destroys their own support network, they will often do it anyway. [21:20] IsambardPrince They'll go after the Pyrrhic Victory. They would rather sink the ship with both of you on it than watch you sail away to safety. When I stopped reacting to his threats, laughed at the legal bluff, and moved out on Wednesday, I robbed him of the only currency he cared about: fear and compliance. [21:21] IsambardPrince He was only concerned with what he got in the end. When I gave him a few thousand dollars to get started again and he started shouting "Is this all I'm worth to you?" I reminded him of all the money his immigration case and medical needs took from the marital estate. [21:22] IsambardPrince I said "You were a bigger drain on this marriage than I ever was. I even had to carry you for 7 months when I was living on credit card debt and on the way to bankruptcy court and they didn't allow you to work."

[22:25] schestowitz[TR2] i am not even sure we use that term here [22:25] IsambardPrince A mistrial usually means they can re-file it and have another expensive trial.
