This is the fifth posting in a 5 part series.
The First Week I shared a story I found on the intranet “He Wrote It Down” that provoked something inside of me.
The Second Week I shared about after reading that story I began to think if it would be possible for a police officer to write down one of my traumas. And I posed the question “Do I Want Him To Write It Down”
The Third Week I Talked about realizing that “I Do Want Him To Write It Down”
The Fourth Week I share the impact I had when I realized “He Did It! He Wrote It Down”
After I drove home that day I was on cloud 9. The detective told me that it would take about a week before the police report would be available to be picked up.
I know that charges were not be pressed against him. I just wanted the police report that would describe what happened with his name attached.
I called the police station about a week later and they told me that the police report was available. I get to the police station and give the information connected to the police report. The clerk said it would take a few minutes to get everything together.
I waited patiently for over 30 minutes. She finally called my name I get the police report and started to look down at it. There are numerous black marker marks blacking out some of the reports. I asked her what the black marks were for. She explained since charges were not being filed that they could not release the violator’s name.
My heart sank at that moment. I understood their perspective since this was public record. But part of the reason I went through this process was so that I had something with his name on it.
I started crying and I called Lucy. I explained to her what had happened. I tried to process everything. I decided that I know what happened, there was a police officer that spent about an hour writing what happened and that is all that mattered.
I may not have gotten the end result that I had hoped for but I did get a result and I was okay with that. This whole opportunity was awesome and I am so glad it is part of my healing process.
Take Care. Much Love
