Yes, OB. No matter how hard it is and no matter how ridiculous it seems, follow through with the DIR and have a restraining order put in place. There is no need for violence in any of this and she and any other person who feels they are so all-mighty to abuse another person should be taught a lesson no matter how belittling it is.
If your wife thinks so little of you as to hit you over nothing, she has pyschological issues that need to dealt with before she should be allow to see the children unsupervised. PERIOD.
It is called VIOLENCE. It is ABUSE.
If you do not you are allowing it to occur and opening yourself up to the day a knife is thrown at you, or she tries to run you over with her car, or the worst, the day she punches your daughter down the stairs over a stupid f***ing hair cut you bought her. Do not let that happen to you. too.
