Hi JT,

Just read through your thread. You absolutely did nothing wrong in holding him accountable for his behavior towards you. If he didn't like jail, guess he shouldn't have treated you that way. AND- where I live, even if you are divorced, it is STILL considered domestic violence if they assault you. A spouse, ex spouse, family member, or someone you live with..

I had two physical incidents with my ex after we separated, and he had never done anything like that before. I filed assult and domestic violence charges on him. You are totally correct that your children do NOT need to think that is okay.

There was a famous incident of craziness where the police actually had to taze him (twice) b/c he was sooooo out of control. My board friends and I had a few snickers over that one...

Anyhoo, he also still to this day blames ME for that. I "set him up" and "provoked him" (LOL) which I did in NO WAY.

That type of thinking is classic for them.

Hit me up in the alt if you are there... You can find me through OP, Jack, or several others.
