The Living Force
You are 100% right about the trust issue. It has been decades since I have been able to trust anyone. Yet when there is is an urgent need to find a 'professional' or similar you do your due diligence as best as you can. But it generally means selecting the best of a bad bunch to begin with!Hi happyliza. Wow, you do have a lot to deal with...I am so sorry. I am noticing more and more that laws only seem to apply to some people (in multiple countries), and justice is often denied to the victims. So what can you do now?
I cannot give you legal advice but I offer moral support. I have been (many times) in life situations where I didn't seem to have any options, or all the options were lousy. I had to make hard decisions based on what seemed the likeliest to sustain me until I could find better. I had kids who needed me to stay safe.
Oddly/luckily, I always found options, places to go, even enough money...to keep me afloat while I searched for stability. I don't know if you have any options right now, but maybe for the near future you should start thinking about what else might be possible for you. You may get information appearing in your life that doesn't seem relevant, but also could be leading you towards a different opportunity.
You have an amazing attitude through this, remaining positive and also...owning your own truth. If anything, I would advise you to think very carefully about who you trust, and also have their actions been in partnership with their words? Do they seem to be consistent? I hope your lawyer(s) are honest and trustworthy with a good reputation. It's brave of you to open up about this here, so you are strong, brave and positive. I have no doubt that your 'vibe' will be received and as the C's say, "Help is on the way!" (one way or another, not likely anything you would ever expect!!)
Ponerology with its greed and corruption is rife everywhere now. Keir Starmer has bought it flagrantly out in the open now in the UK and here these laws are also bringing it out of the shadows.
Laura explained the situation very well here in the 9/11 book I felt I now needed to read! So glad I did as it truly shows where most of the population in this neck of the woods originated from!
I thought it was just the proximity to Israel, but they actually came in from all directions to here and Turkey etc!
Very few are consistent here and one acquaintance actually starts shouting when he lies - so blatently obvious to me but not him!
I minimize my contact with the outside world as much as possible, it is also draining anyway. So only drive into town 2x per week to pay bills, chase things up, petfood and shopping! Still the 'to do' list never gets shorter and study time is my pleasure time. Earned once pressing or odious tasks are done first lol.
These new laws are actually against their own constitution evidently. But does the USA follow its constitution now? Far from it. There is very little of tradition left to guide those in charge, as they wished such to be.
At least my lawyer is 'old school' and quite eccentric like me. Plus he always had his own horses and trained in Australia as well a TRNC laws.
I didn't realize how much I appreciated tradition, until it was no longer there! Everything that kids need nowadays sadly.
Thank you so much for your moral support, I do feel very much on my own. Sharing always helps and I feel a deep relief now having this all recorded here and out in the open. Although I have always had to rely on myself and have no fear at all of being on my own, even welcome what tranquility I can get, having like minded souls nearby who grok everything would be a Godsend. But we also learn to value our independence, whilst we still have it! We still have choices available to us, even though the scope of those choices reduces daily.
However, I am still very grateful every day for what I DO have, and for my loving animals too. Plus my deep faith and knowledge 'of all that is' that we know, sustains me.
There has never been a time in my life, no matter how dire, nor how hungry I was, that I ever felt totally forsaken. Help ALWAYS did come in many different forms, or even just some respite.
I will never forget how spirit actually pushing me up over a jutting outcrop at the top of a sheer cliff I had just climbed, but could not find any way to get up to safety by having to go totally anti gravity by two feet - my arms were nowhere long enough to do so! The alternative was rows of razor sharp jagged rocks 150 feet below! I was faced with the impossible, and certain gruesome death!
So even when no options are available, we still have PRAYERS.
Now in all honesty I didn't really deserve that help. I was a stupid 25 year old mum, who had just given birth to her second child 3 months earlier, after extracting all my husbands infidelities from him, after a tip off from my brother in law. I had deep post natal depression and we had just arrived at my in law's holiday home in Blind Harbour a few days earlier. They were all heavy expat drinkers. I rarely drank alcohol. But I joined them. Stupidly swam miles from one sideof the huge cove to the other (with a visitor on a paddle board neaby). Then after the inevitable show down, about the infidelities and how the inlaws and brother in law had assisted/been complicit (whilst I was unable to take holidays from running the property consultancy in Abu Dhabi). It wasn't just about my whole marriage being a sham, and innocent newborns to care for, it was also about WHO he chose on regular occasions, my own bridesmaid, my own close relative, and anything else around!
So I had very shakily and fairly tipsy stormed off for a walk on my own to evaluate a shattered future, knowing my children were being cared for and I needed space. I only climbed the cliff because I had got tired and it was the quickest way back to the house!
So if good spirits can help me, after such a stupid and rash decision, then there is hope for us all. All I could think of, when I realized my options had run out on me, was who is going to love and care for my beautiful babies, my first experience of unconditional love in this world, if I am smashed on those rocks. They need me and I need them, as what kind of upbringing would these people replicate on my innocents?
All did not go according to plan, I stayed, had my second daughter, then divorced 6 years later. I paid a huge and very lengthy, and extemely emotional, price in the end, my children too. That is when I learned what a psychopath can do, though I did not have a label for my ex at the time.
Since then, I have been unable to trust anyone. Though it still didn't prevent me making my own bad choices and wrong decisions! Of which I made so many, in hindsight - blessed, shattering, hindsight!
So my quest, my life teachers, my lessons and objective learning, and my deep spiritual understandings, are all that I am grateful for. Nothing that will ever be wasted, eternal.
My constant dream of 'happy families' loyalty and 'happy ever after' blinded me to reality for 13 years of marriage. Just because my parent's were my role models, together, but not always 'happy' that marriage too had many dysfunctional aspects. Yet nobody could be more grateful for the parents that I chose than I am. They both taught me so much, and I realize - in hindsight - they DID always have my best interests at heart. And still do, on BOTH sides of the veil.
I have been warned that those instigating these greed-driven court cases, resent that I am strong and can stick up for myself. I am seen as a thorn in their side/ambitions. That they can normally crush, as they do, to their own women, as the domestic abuse here is appalling. To animals too. I never encountered, or felt that threat, in the UAE.
Although I am forced to remain here until at least the main Trust/Asset court case is completed, I have informed my lawyer that I need to return to UK later in the year as I need to renew my passport.
However, in the interim I will be very mindful for my safety.
My lawyer has recently informed me that I will need to pay for a translator for all the court cases and also have all the hundreds of documents translated, (a huge expense), as although everyone in all my cases speaks English, everything and the hearing itself has to be in Turkish. Which also makes it very difficult to state my case fairly as not only do we have to request to be co-respondents, but I can only answer questions that are asked of me in court. Which is open to abuse and ignorance of the facts.
I hope I have been able to clarify everything, as it is not easy to understand, not least the lie of the land here currently, for anyone whose home country is not friendly towards the TRNC. And especially those countries that are helping Israel. The inmates are running the asylum.
