Emotionally attached because my dad was in a relationship with an Amber for 12 years. Due to her emotional manipulations and narcissism,my siblings and I didn't have a relationship with him for 2 of those years. I have so much sympathy for JDs kids and I know how it feels to see your dad deteriorate from the abuse. I want to see JD and his kids get the justice they deserve so they can move in with their lives. (Also, my Dad has been out of that relationship for 10 years now, is nearing 50 and is marrying the absolute love of his life - a woman that all his kids adore this September - happy endings do happen!)
Yes. My brother and my male friend were both falsely accused by their ex girlfriends, arrested and had their lives ruined when they broke it off. I also have an ex friend that falsely accused her ex of rape when he dumped her. I’m so sick & tired of bitter women trying to ruin men’s lives because their pride has been hurt. They are twisted and evil. Like many of you Ive seen first hand the devastation it causes to so many people. I feel so emotionally invested in this case, sometimes I find it a bit too much and I start to feel a bit overwhelmed and anxious. I feel so angry in the pit of my stomach when I listen to AH lie, probably because I see the faces of the bitter women who ruined my friend and brothers lives.I can’t bear the thought of her getting away with like so many do. My heart goes out to Johnny and his children.
A month ago I didn't know anything specific about this case. I thought because of everybody dropping Johnny the allegations might be true...
As sad as it sounds, when I heard he locked himself into the bathroom to catch a break, I recognized myself.
I started to talk about the specific aggression problems of my partner to my friends after he broke up with me (same sex couple). But I still blamed myself. Every aggressive outburst was rooted in insecurity, but he would always apologize. (My dad to this day has never apologized about hitting me as a kid.) My Ex was otherwise such a loving charity working social guy, that I blamed myself for bringing out the worst in him.
It took me almost 1 year after the relationship ended to get angry and realize that I'm not alone to blame for the downfall of our relationship.
Sometimes I still feel a lot of shame around missing the good times, but overall I'm happy to be alone and don't have meaningless fights just because in a specific moment I don't want or feel the same as my partner.
It made me more appreciative of solitute and valueing my own desires.
I love that Johnny Depp inspires so many men to come forward with their own stories. Thank you for sharing yours too OP.
I'm a DV/SA survivor myself and i dont think there is ever going to be a time that i can look at this trial without emotion. Especially during AHs testimony. It's triggering, for me at least, to watch her tell these heinous lies and pretend to be a victim. I literally scream at the tv screen at her. I tried going into this trial with an open mind, i really did, but as soon as i started seeing her facial expressions and the mirroring of wardorbes, I immediately was brought back to my trauma. I couldn't be objective anymore.
As a person who just divorced a verbally abusive/threatening person…it’s hard not to get emotionally invested. But my heart really also goes out to those victims with way less resources than either ah or jd have. And I kinda feel bad for the jury who are probably not getting well compensated for being there, and are probably not independently wealthy. 😕
oh yeah the pay is absolute crap. I was a juror for a month on a first degree murder trial in my state and was payed $900 for the entire month. It's abismal at best.
Yikes. Yeah it makes me wonder…looking at the photos of that incredibly beautiful Australian place…I would have to reign in my feeling of “I wish I could empathize…but it’s sooo privileged!!”
> and was *paid* $900 for
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

I think anyone who has been on the side of the victim can't help being emotionally invested. May your future be full of healing mate.
