To Testify or Not to Testify?

I was presented with an interesting request today - Karate Man's ex-wife has a protective order out against him and tomorrow they face off in court. It has to do with his children and alleged physical abuse allegations. I was asked to provide a written or oral testimony about any abuse I may have seen/heard while I was living with him. Hummm....

Karate Man - what a bad memory he has turned into. A memory that is only a fleeting thought now (in fact, I don't think he has even crossed my mind once in the last few weeks), and one that I have a hard time believing actually happened. It has been more than 5 months since I have spoken to him. A lot has changed since that time, and that change has been for the better. Robin Leach has become an important part of my life and our relationship is quite the opposite of anything I ever had with Karate Man.

I don't know if the abuse allegations are true or not. All I can speak of is his character, traits which I witnessed first hand while living with him. He is deceitful, cruel, manipulative, dishonest, and quite the sociopath. These traits were not exhibited just towards me, but in every relationship (work, family, etc) with which he was involved. That speaks volumes about him.

I don't think I will testify tomorrow. Though part of me would like that ultimate "F*#k You", another part of me wants to keep on walking away from him. The drama NEVER ends when Karate Man is in your life. So, the best thing I can do is to get as far away from him as possible. Besides, Karate Man's world is going to come crashing down someday with or without my help.
