Quote: I can't call CPS as they recommended that X have my other kids (they didn't believe me; he's always so lovely, he never flipped in public and I was always crying so they believed him).
This time he is flipping out in public and you are gaining control of yourself. As you said, ask the police and your lawyer their opinion of what your other dd's are going through and how you should proceed.
Quote: My friend thinks he's furious because he can't control me or my life. Our wires get crossed, I go out, he's furious because I'm supposed to be there.
He calls everything off again and then gets mad because I don't hit the floor and die like I used to. Instead I finish my book and get a publisher to accept it. I start DD4 at nursery when he wanted her home educated. I get another man to do my website instead of him so I don't need him and he hates that.
Let him throw his fits. Come and vent here, lean on your friends and keep remembering how far you've come in your life. I know it's easy for us to say this here, you are having to live w/the fear. Keep strong for yourself and dd4. praying for your safety, T
