Hi I’m Coursetasty. So sorry for the late update my old account got banned and honestly I’ve been so busy lately but I knew I owed you all a follow up so here it is.

The court date happened on March 19th(9th was a typo in my last post sorry) it went better than expected.The judge seemed to actually listen. That’s all I’ll say for now as my lawyer has told me to stay quiet for a while. Hope y'all understand.

But what happened after court is what really flipped things.

We were walking out of the building when my brother’s fiancée said “Hope it was worth losing your family over” loudly in front of everyone. Like she wanted an audience.

I laughed. Couldn’t help it and I said “You were never family to begin with” She lunged at me no joke. Had to be held back by my mom of all people. My brother didn’t even stop her. Just stood there with this blank look like he wasn’t part of the mess he created.

We were literally in the courthouse parking lot and people were staring. It was surreal.

Since then things have only gotten colder. My mom’s pretending like it never happened and is ignoring me. My brother blocked me. But my cousin texted me the other day saying the family group chat has been exploding with debates and screenshots( which i left as they were bullying and harrassing me there for a while)

At this point it’s beyond the necklace. It’s about principle. It’s about dignity. And I’m not playing small to keep the peace anymore.

I’ll post again when there’s a final ruling but yeah just wanted to say I’m still here still standing and not one bit sorry.

Thanks for all the support guys. It all helped a lot.
