My anxiety from Monday's bond hearing finally was back to normal today. Just in time to go to another hearing and to see Mark again. Only this time he was 10 feet away.
When I originally found out that Mark had requested a bond hearing I immediately went to the court and filed a petition to modify my restraining order to include "exclusive use" of my house.
In hindsight, it was a silly thing to do. It was just a knee jerk reaction I suppose. Because, in reality, had Mark gotten out I most likely would have left Florida. I realized that after I filed for the petition, but by then it was too late. Once you file for modification you must appear. If you don't appear then you are in contempt of court and can be arrested.
