I'm back. Took D and niece to see High School Musical 3 since D got 4 free tickets for the theater at one of the school fundraisers.
I too was shocked they let him drive away. I even asked them...saying "you're okay with him driving even after you can tell he's been drinking?" The cop said "well, we have it under control." Whatever dude!
D was NEVER in the car with him yesterday though. THANK GOD! I just can't believe he was going to take her overnight knowing how much he drank! And drive like that...with her?! Maybe it's a blessing he was shoving me around and couldn't take her then.
The police here don't do anything unless you want something done. They asked if I wanted to press charges and I told them know. I KNOW in my heart it would have made things MUCH worse. H would have been more mad and my FIL is an a$$ as well and I'm sure he would've gotten involved. Since I didn't press charges, they don't take H at all...even seeing for themselves that he was obviously drinking. I told the police that it would make things worse and I've only seen H like this 3 times in 13 years. He agreed with my choice and they gave us both info on domestic violence. They said this will be on file though, so if it ever happens again and I do press charges, the courts, etc will know it's not the first time.
