Stand firm, and don't back down. I believe if you ever back down, she will get much worse.

The cop said something similar to this as well.

At this point, your main objective is to do what is necessary to secure the protection of the kids. You would like to think she would never do anything out of anger toward one of them, but under the circumstances, how can you know?


I find a lot of your advice very helpful (and VERY MUCH appreciated). Even in threads that are not related to my sitch. I'm sure others on this board feel the same way.

The lawyer advised me to show up in court on every court date and be ready to testify.

Thanks again for your advice.


life is too short....
