The worst Father's Day ever!

Hair clogging up the drain resulting in screaming, wrestling and kicking kids off a boat (which is there temp home) are the signs of a man with a very short fuse. Scary indeed.

I take it that your XH's boat is more over near Seattle than the small town where you live. That was probably a good thing in that the Seattle police have probably seen a whole lot more domestic violence than small town or county police do.
It happened in Tacoma where his boat is. In the Bay, under the merging highways... where the derelicts hang out.
They were right in recommending that you arm yourself. I hope you have had some recent training and practice. If not, you might want to take a refresher course at http://www.firearmsacademy.com/SafetySeminar.htm
I've always had fire arms.... I have a 380 pistol, Browning Sweet 16 shotgun and a 30-06 rifle. I can shoot a squirrel running through the trees with a 10 gauge and I have shot muzzle loaders, 9mm's, Compound bows... I am a good shot. What I don't have is a permit to carry which I will be looking into.
You probably should not bother anymore in talking with his parents. The apple apparently fell from an infected tree.

I am optimistic that everything is going to turn out ok in the long run for you.

What does FFG have to say?

He was very worried as I didn't answer my phone when D called so she called him during all this.... At first I thought about going and staying at his house but I don't want to involve his children in this. He left that decision up to me... he worked last night but he will be here tonight. He is sad and mad for the kids because he sees how good they are and how much they want a relationship with their dad.

He supports me and however I want to handle this....he is worrief for my safety and doesn't like it one bit.
