Divorced

Theresa was barred from her children, home, and business place until she appeared in court; she would never think of doing something like that to her family or a loved one. He did things without thinking about the consequences. It was not personal; it was a military mindset. Thursday night, she went to dinner with her girlfriend, which she hasn't spent time in a long time ever since he quit financial services. She got home at ten-thirty at night, the police car put their headlight, and she wondered what was going on. Two police officers approached her and asked, "are you Theresa and she answered yes, and they said that they have a restraining order for her from her spouse Mat because she got upset and threw the computer, printer, and phone on the floor. There was no way she would want to do anything that would land her in jail, she loved the finer things in life, and he was not worth it. She was raised without a father, and she missed that kind of relationship; therefore, she would not wish that on her children or her worst enemies. Her upbringing was not like his; she and her sisters were sheltered from a lot of experiences. She signed the paper, read it, and went into the house to call her brother James who lives in Texas. She could not believe that her spouse went that far, but she wasn't surprised since she heard the stuff that he said to his blood son because he didn't want to run the branch in New York anymore. That was going to disturbed his plan and changed his routine. A few minutes later, the same police officers showed up at the house and told her that she had to vacate the house because Mat would stay at home with their son Jaden. They told her to pack her stuff and leave the house; she told the policemen this was a man that I raised his two children without any financial, emotional, and physical help from their maternal mom. She was great at packing; therefore, she took as much as she can. The last time she left the house for two weeks and stayed at her sister in Westfield, she had Lily came and helped her thrown her stuff out included her children's baby items. She also called her brother to come and help; as soon as Lilli pulled up in front of the house, Theresa hand her some things. She filled up her car with so many personal items, even her safe box, that helped her not feel the pain she was experiencing. It took a person that came from the street to do something that way. While all of this was happening, Mat was at the Dunking donut around the corner, meeting with Jude, Marie, and Antonio. Her friend Carly went there. That was how she knew that information.

She went to Frank and Lilly's house and focus on what she was going to do these times because it was serious and how she was going to move on from that. On Saturday morning, she went to see someone that could give her advice about what she was up against. The person helped her and told her what to do, and remind her how the relationships were messed up, but she has to protect herself by getting a lawyer. Mat had already experiences that kind of life, Theresa didn't sign up for this. She was able to be around all kinds of society, the less fortunate and the wealthy. She forgave Mat for what he did, but she still had to protect herself and get her children back. Part of her wanted to run away. Theresa asked God for the strength to do this for her children, and God granted her the request. The judge told Mat and her to communicate about the children and the Business only. She texted him to find out where their youngest son was, but he never answered; she called the NY location and found out her son was there, and her sister went to pick up her son. As soon as he saw her, he ran outside and said, let's go. He would not wait to get out and be with Theresa.

At the house, her brother-in-law came and changed the locks at the door for her. Her youngest sister and her children stayed at home with her and her son. They watched a movie, and she started to download her works from the small laptop because she told him that she would give it to him when he showed up at the house with two police officers to pick up his items without any warnings. He wanted to get the laptop, she told him that she wasn't done with it yet, and he got upset, but she ignored his tantrum. She has been using the laptop for over a month to do her work for the dojos and the boutiques.

She had to remember that she was dealing with a total stranger, and she had to treat him that way. She realized that she had to make some changes at the dojos, take over the payrolls, the account of Kingdom management, and fired the manager. Better yet, she kept the schools in Westfield, and he got the schools in Brooklyn, Queens, and the kingdom management group. Theresa, I would like it very much if we agreed. I know it is much better than having a judge decide for us. Your lawyer is the only one winning and will continue to take your money, and the outcome will not be that different. Lawyers tend to make things longer so that they can make more money.

Only he will win. You and I will face a significant loss, and ultimately our children will be affected. Please put feelings to the side about this and think of what this is doing to both of us, to our children. I cannot pay you what you have asked for. I have 20 days to enter a reconsideration hearing, which they will grant because they have not heard my side. Your lawyer is leading you to believe that I can and will pay you, but the truth is that there is no money. "If I'm forced to pay, they will put out a warrant for my arrest." My being in jail does not solve anything. Everything that we have ever worked for will be lost. It will only hurt the children.

Mat told his wife Theresa and children to sacrifice with him, and he'll give them a great future. They were seasons when they sacrificed to plant the seeds they needed to plant to produce the harvest they desire to see.
