Cassidy also began rebuilding her life, one decision at a time.
She worked with her attorney on the separation and custody issues, followed the protective measures in place, and kept all communication with Trent documented. She no longer felt obligated to answer every accusation or explain herself to people who had already decided to take his side.
She had two children depending on her.
That was where her energy belonged.
As for me, I returned to the oil fields only when I was certain Cassidy had the support she needed. I had spent decades solving practical problems in dangerous places, but this was a different kind of fight. It demanded patience, restraint, and the willingness to let the evidence speak.
Eventually, the state investigation into Timmons’s conduct resulted in formal action, and the earlier complaints he had handled were reviewed. The authorities also pursued the allegations against Trent through the appropriate legal process.
