JT - I've just been rereading your sitch and sweetie I'm so glad that you found the strength to stick up for yourself and put your XH in jail when he got physically violent with you. By not letting that garbage continue shows that you have respect for yourself and showed your children that you were not going to put up with that kind of treatment anymore. Good for you for giving that very valuable lesson to your kids and even more so for yourself. No one deserves that, no one.

Please continue to be on your guard when around your XH. You know what the triggers are that set him off, stay away from those! When you have visitation with the children is there anyway to take them back to your place and leave your XH by himself since he claims that he can't stand to have you around?

Could you explain what your XH meant by saying that being divorced that you couldn't put him in jail for domestic violence?

Stay strong, you're not alone. (((Hugs)))
