Justice

The neighbor's trial was today. Mom's brother consulted with the State Attorney and the results were almost everything we hoped for. He was fined for the assault, ordered to attend six months (twice weekly) of anger management training (at his own expense) and is subject to periodic unscheduled reviews for up to one year to ensure that he is taking his medications and seeing his therapist. The No Contact order was also extended as an added protection against him bothering us again. Mom is relieved and hopes that we can begin to get back to normal. The stress of this situation has added a few more gray hairs to mom's head. We are going to take this weekend to unwind, maybe watch a little football, and let our hair down. We want to thank everyone for checking on us and for your prayers. We are very greatful for all the support and caring and hope to get back to regular blogging and commenting.
