The counter-suit shock
When I returned to Attorney Mitchell’s office, my stomach dropped as he revealed that my parents had filed a counter-suit against me. They accused me of defamation and harassment, twisting reality in a way that felt like an entirely new betrayal layered atop the original wound. Mitchell calmly explained that this was their attempt to cloud the truth and divert attention from their wrongdoing. Though part of me expected such a tactic, hearing it confirmed made the battle ahead feel heavier, more tangled, and far more personal than before.

Attempting to shift blame
Sitting across from Mitchell, I struggled to process the sheer audacity of their actions. My parents were blatantly trying to stall the case and flip the narrative to paint themselves as victims. Mitchell called it a textbook delay strategy meant to sap my energy and patience, hoping I would eventually fold under the pressure. His explanation clarified their motives, and although frustration churned inside me, it also ignited a renewed determination. I refused to let their manipulations distract me from uncovering the truth and holding them accountable.
