It's been some time since I posted on this blog. With the passing of my estranged husband, I found myself working very hard to simply return to a life of normalcy, one that did NOT require my "showing cause" in Gloucester Circuit Court for simply trying to live.
However, I recently was saddened to see that Gloucester County Virginia is not the only place where such insanity as requiring a woman to pay spousal support to her abuser is the standard practice. In San Diego, CA, a woman was ordered to pay her abuser, her ex-husband, convicted of sexual abuse, sentenced to serve years in prison, $3000 per month........... Yes, you read that correctly.
Below is a link to the account of this case. I am encouraged by this woman's determination to get the law changed in her state. I hope that national attention to her case will extend help to the many others who are subjected to the insanity, which is, apparently, not limited to "po dunk" court rooms, but is part of the "norm," even in big cities.
