I realize that it has all been said by more than one of your fellow bangshifters... Hang in there Brother! As another Gulf war vet, I too have been misjudged and misquoted on several occasions... I can only thank my lucky stars that there were many who supported me through thick and thin! sometimes, the biggest assist is just a kind word or two to make me realize that I am not such a heartless warrior! -
Todd - All I can add (and I think the other folks have said this in different ways) is that we all care about you and we're sorry, given that this all came down, that we can't fix it. Know that you have a ton of brothers and a few sisters on here who are on your side and we will do what we can even if it's just words of encouragement.
Once things get stable think about a trip to NC. Might be a nice break for you. And I'm not just saying that to be polite - I mean it.

That's what they have been doing it for, to get me to leave all my cars, tool, and everything else and leave the state. I like living here, she can leave if she wants. She shouldn't be able to use my disability to run me off either.Originally posted by Casper View PostLeave a comment:

The "abused woman" card is a strong one. Used far more than is justified in todays society, and that trend is likely to increase.
You'd think the story of the boy who cried wolf never hit home.........must not have.
I don't have any good applicable advise, so I won't offer any. But I've known some crazy women and I feel for you.
You can't reason with crazy and the system can be crazy as well. Tread carefully friend.Leave a comment:

This sounds like typical bs women pull when they feel guilty for leaving a guy high & dry. Get the hell out of there and be done with it. She's a loser.Leave a comment:

The VA doesn't get into things like this. The sheriff here didn't want to pursue it, the state patrol and county prosecutor did despite having zero evidence I did anything. All because she played the abused by the violent war vet card. We never even argued and she had all the freedom she wanted, which is how she met that kid.Originally posted by milner351 View Post
I doubt anyone will really care, they all forget us and hope we just go away. When we don't run off, they do this to us. Her mother has been trying to get me to leave the state, and this whole thing was setup to make me leave.Leave a comment:

The 500 people are those he worked with around the two counties here. Haven't met anyone in fire/ems that doesn't loathe the kid. The jailers know him, and treated me like a celebrity, knowing I got screwed over. I have never met someone so disliked by so many people before, I was utterly astounded that everyone unanimously dislikes him for all the same reasons. Usually someone likes unpopular people, but its only my ex and the other female on the department.
But its because I am a war vet that all this is happening.Leave a comment:

They used my disability and military service to claim I am dangerous and capable of things I would never do. They painted me as if I am some kind of special forces assassin rather than a crippled cargo guy. The judge called me a terrorist and assumed I was like Rambo waiting to destroy a small town with an M60, and not a guy who wants to build cars and put her and the way her family is treating me in my past. Now she has the township trying to force me out and off my property claiming I am dangerous and violent.
In short they used the stigma surrounding PTSD and serving in a war against me. Now they want to take more from me, and tried to take the dogs away that help me deal with all the heartbreak, sadness, and despair of my life.
All of this because she wants to sleep with a guy nobody likes, not even her parents. She has destroyed the fire department here because she wants him in it, and the capable competent members don't want him breaking the trucks and equipment. All the capable guys quit leaving her, her boyfriend, and another female that backs trucks into trees, and blames me for it. As if more than 500 professional firefighters and law enforcement people could be swayed by me.
People in the legal system buy her crap because I am ex military, been to war, and I am overly muscled due to my job there pushing pallets. I look intimidating and the bias and stigma around gulf war and nam vets is used against me, despite being non violent, helpful to the community, kind, and generous to everyone I meet.
Being called a terrorist by a judge then sitting in jail for the last two weeks for something I didn't do, based on my appearance and military service is unacceptable. Paying that kid to sleep with my wife band break up my marriage is insulting beyond nearly anything in my life. Having the small town courts do this to me because I am a war veteran is reprehensible.Leave a comment:

Todd - don't make lawyers richer. Please. Win or lose, in the end you'll say "I'm glad its done."
But if it's a battle you want, the fight you want to do is $100,000 in legal expenses - your car, makes a good retainer.
Yes, I get they're doing all sorts of bad things - but let the criminal system handle the theft, and B&E, and EEOC handle the ADA claims (though, I'm kind of confused about how a person could run afoul of the ADA).
Build your shop, build your new house - because the best revenge is to do well.Last edited by SuperBuickGuy; November 20, 2013, 06:53 AM.Leave a comment:
