A divorce, a bombing, drug planting, etc.

[BannedOnce]

A while back, more than a year now, I was in a tough spot and posted some late night rantings about my personal situation. At the time, it was very chaotic as things were unfolding and very dangerous.

People on this forum called me a liar without cause, other than the story itself was extraordinary. The mods promptly banned me because I was being combative as a result of being called a liar. I still maintain that was BS, calling someone a liar without any evidence of something being a lie. None the less the management here, sided with vets who chose to cast stones.

Since then things have been thoroughly documented by news outlets and I am sure the owners of this very board know of the case as it's geography is their home town. Upcoming Federal Criminal trial, etc.

I can link news articles, but I'll ask that no names or other searchable information (places, names, details, etc) be posted from the article as then it would be indexed and people looking for info on the case will conceivably end up seeing the posts. Please keep in generic.

Bottom line - divorce wife over drugs, she ends up dating a drug dealer, drug dealer plants drugs in my car and home, makes anonymous 911 calls directing the police to me in my car with my daughter, you can imagine what goes down. Amazingly I survive this interaction, and begin a heavy legal counter assault. Authorities at all levels are hesitant to respond to this - in fact attorneys and courts tell me that even if I could prove my ex-wife was involved it would be immaterial to custody issues since I couldn't show how my, then 3 year old, daughter was negatively affected by this.

There is an attempt to kill my attorney with a bomb ~5 months later. LEO authorities start to be interested but still are very very cold to my situation seemingly very skeptical of everything. Ex-wife and bf's place is eventually raided by feds looking for evidence.

Fast forward several years. Ex-Wife's b/f is indicted for bombing. No effects on custody, etc. For along time, and still to a certain degree, I felt like I was bound by the courts and the 'system' to a very dangerous situation and was/has not been allowed any reasonable relief under the circumstances.

People involved knew/know when and where I would be (and wouldn't be) on a regular basis. These people have had access to my child and there was nothing I could do, nothing the courts would do to alleviate the inherent danger that was being faced.

A normal family facing such a situation may have fled the state to ensure the safety of their loved ones. I had no such choice.

So, how much time you have with your daughter now? How is she doing?

[BannedOnce]

Roughly the same amount of time with my daughter - which was originally split - and she is doing well.

It took a senator going to prison, a state representative pleading guilty to a felony and a police officer indicted in the bomb case for it to get better. But certainly, the most dangerous players are jailed/indicted now so the atmosphere has certainly changed for the better. (I know that sounds incredible, a mod/admin can verify using my email address alone, or I can PM a link to articles to them that prove it all)

However, it is certainly probable that there will be backlash as a result. Those that brought that into our lives still have a tight grip on our lives and privileged information that makes it very difficult to defend against.

You know, I am not sure if I was one of those who questioned the veracity of your earlier thread, but there is some dissonance between what you just wrote about the potential threat of retaliation and the eagerness you seem to have to tell your story.

If I had people who were so wrapped in my X that they'd commit/conspire crimes, I think I'd be keeping that stuff on the down-low. But I have never lived it, so what do I know? [Rhet.]

[BannedOnce]

The story has been told publicly in the news. It is impossible to hide the story or the facts, and even if I could I am not sure exactly how that would protect me. In fact, it was sunlight that sanitized the situation to begin with.

If you're referring to why I am not specific about certain details that is only so that those that may search certain terms looking for information / articles on the subject don't end up on this forum seeing these posts. Not specifically those that may seek to harm, but even family, friends, reporters, etc. I'd rather not have them end up hear reading the posts.

If you're implying it sounds fishy that's easily resolved, the public innuendo is unwarranted and unjustified.

How old is your daughter?

Does she like her school?

[BannedOnce]

Almost 7, 1st grade. Yes she does enjoy her school, she has a bunch of good friends there now.

[BartSimpson]

Great age, good for you.

Did you have a question?

[Fatheroffour]

It's a fantastic story, for sure. A bit scattered and stretching the boundaries of the believable so I'm not sure why you are so upset when people don't believe it based on the postings of an anonymous poster on the internet.

Anyway, I'm curious. How does a state senator going to prison, a state rep pleading guilty to a felony and a cop being indicted for a bomb case tie in to your custody case? Is the drug dealing boyfriend also a cop?

Are there plans for a movie?

[BannedOnce]

Never was upset that people were skeptical, however it was disconcerting that I was allowed to be attacked and then was banned as a result of the friction.

Drug Dealing b/f was "political consultant" and was tied to illegal campaign tricks on behalf of senator and representative. Federal investigation into b/f after the bombing uncovered evidence that led their indictments. It was suspected that the politicians were protective of the b/f and it seems they had reason to be. He goes down, they go down.

Cop was part of b/< edited > protective entourage. Was in fact with b/f at the site of the bombing and lied about that to the feds.
