Spiff 'em up and get those a$$-kicking boots on, woman! You will get through it. They are just individuals that don't matter. Only you and your babies matter. YOU CAN DO THIS.
Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward. ~ Joseph Campbell
Once again, my friends, thank you. There will always be people who can't (or choose not to) understand. Too bad my boss is one of them. If he fires me today, so be it. I'll have more time to take care of my babies, who need me now, more than ever. God will take care of the rest. I'm a good employee, and once this is over, I'll be ready for a change anyway. (Bartender, I'll take a 'brand new start' please.) S15 has been dating a wonderful girl for over 9 months and they have something very special. He has been making bad behavior choices, so she's decided to call a 'time out' until he can get some help for his anger issues. Sound familiar? S15 doesn't see it coming. Pray he takes the news with the grace it is intended. FutureDIL15 cares for him deeply, and just wants him to get healthy, so they can move forward. She's a good kid. Okay, I'm off to start my day. Wonder what's in store for me today? It can't get any worse, right? ...Crap, where did I put my boots? Oh, that's right, I loaned them to GF. Hey Valerie, I need my boots back! Peace. Goldey

Goldey - dont worry about what H's friends and family are going to testify. When it comes down to it, a court appointed counselor will be able to determine what is best based upon interviews with the kids, H and yourself. You got a leg up on him literally and physically.
BTW... Dont test that pepper spray on yourself. This video should be convincing enough...
I have just caught up on your sitch and wanted to let you know that I'm praying for you earnestly!
I'm hoping that your boss will try to be more understanding about your need to protect your children and yourself. It's a hard position to be in, being the boss and running a business when part of your staff is having a crisis and is MIA sometimes. I'll pray for his heart to soften.

(((Mishka))) I'll join y'all in Surviving soon. Hope you are having an okay week. Softened heart. We all could use that from time to time. Combined with Mikey's prayer for good aim , I think we're in business. Have a wonderful weekend my sweet DBer's. I won't be posting much, but know that I love you all, and we are ultra super safe. Peace. Goldeylox
