Look, I admit the police station was stupid. Why are you guys continuing to use this as an excuse to berate me? And Ken, why do you have a "vow of silence,"
I talked to two friends in an upset state and BOTH URGED me to go to the cops. I said "no no" - and one said "Are you serious? This is your daughter who is in jeaopardy" and I thought about it for a long time. I didn't want to go - knew it would only escalate stuff, calmed myself down, and then thought, wait - this is serious (meaning could turn into stuff about custody etc) and I lost sight of things - which is why I went down there "calmly" -
I did not know what GM just said (that everyone would go down there who has a child taken from their home- and yes, that's what he did - did not call and say "taking her to my place" or whatever, which is why I had dinner read and a doc appt for her that day that he was taking her to) he even admitted last night that he just came and "Grabbed her and maybe he shouldn't have done that" -
I didn't go to the police station thinking "I am taking someone away from people who really need them." That's seriously ridiculous. The officer was leaving his shift and talked to me for 4 mins.
I was vulnerable - talked to two people who said "enough is enough" to me and told me to "do something" b/c they know this whole saga and how he behaves - and this is the first time in three years of ongoing abuse that I did this. Four minutes. Really hardly worth writing nine million posts over to berate me and to come out of silence over in order to berate me some more.
So I put things aside, I apologized profusely. I was honest with him in my response. This is nothing like my behavior. Never has been (he knows that too - but you guys don't seem to oddly -
