156. My Criminal Deposition or How To Fall Apart in One Hour

I couldn't sleep last night.  I tossed and turned then finally took Zquil to try to get some sleep.  I knew today was my deposition with the public defender - "his attorney."  I wish I could say I was very well prepared for this.  I have had a year of counseling to think about this and the trial. I hoped I was prepared.  I'm sad to say that emotionally I wasn't.

All day long at work all I could think about was that at 3:30 PM I had to be at the courthouse and "his attorney" would be questioning me about all that has happened.  I talked to Dixie on Facebook earlier today.  She said, "..just answer the question... don't elaborate don't add anything... just answer the specific question asked."  When I got to the courthouse my victims advocate, Susan, told me the same thing Dixie said.  She said keep your answers short and simple.  That seemed like a simple thing to do.  It just was easier said then done.

110. More Evidence for the States Attorney

If you read my blog post from yesterdays bail hearing then you already know it is postponed until Monday pending a psych evaluation.  You also know it did not go well.

Today, I decided to write an email to the states attorney and some questions and give her more evidence.

67. The Arrest and Karma

It was pretty quiet all day after court.  Everything was normal.  When I got home I saw that the phone as unplugged.  Mark had called.  Chris didn't want Matthew to hear any recordings in case Mark started to leave nasty messages on their home phone again.

Mark called Kristin's cell phone.  He left a horrific message on her recording.  He said that he was glad she wasn't his 'blood' child and only adopted.  He said that was the reason she was so fucked up in the head, because her biological father had butt fucked her when she was 4 years old.  Kristin, being Kristin, ignored it and wrote it off to his illness.  I was angry.

Even so, I understand she was under a lot of stress just like me.  So, we all sat down and had a nice dinner.  Around 8 we put Matty to bed.  Then Kristin and I watched a show.  Chris was in his office.  I kept my cell phone off too.  I didn't want to hear 'his ring' in case he started a tirade again.  And, because of that, I didn't hear the Sheriff call:

66. Permanent Restraining Order - Judge Krista Marx

Judge Krista Marx

Once again Mark went silent on Tuesday the 12th.  I didn't receive a single phone call, email, nothing.  On Wednesday my court appearance was set at 8:30 AM in front of Judge Marx in the Palm Beach County courthouse North Division in Palm Beach Gardens.

I was met in the lobby by Susan, my Victims Advocate, Susan.  There was a lot of other people in the waiting area around me.  Susan told me to wait there and Kathryn, my legal aide attorney, would be with me in a bit.

I had wondered and worried whether Mark would show up.  He didn't.  What seemed like an eternity was really only about 40 minutes.  The Sheriff came over and told me it was my turn to go in.

64. Did I Violate Your Restraining Order Love?

Other then Mark harassing the people I know, it remained quiet for me at least Friday the 8th.  That is until around 4:45 P.M.  My cell phone rang.  I had previously added a specific ring for Mark, so I would know not to accidentally answer it.  It was that ring.  It only rang one time and a message wasn't left.  I assumed the call was an accidental dial and decided not to start fretting just yet.

About 5 minutes later I got a Facebook message.  Wade said, "Diana, Mark is posting on his page."  Since I have blocked Mark I cannot see anything he writes.  The following was what Mark posted (note he changed the date of the post to February 6th, which is both of our birthdays):
