So Chris has called me everyday and he went to NC to visit family yesterday! I didn't think that sweet guys like him still exsisted . . . but who knew they do. awwww . . . Emily has made a new friend . . . . . I'm proud of myself. I'm so glad that I'm out of the horrible situation that Kevin put me in. I'm glad that he as his OW can live "not-so-happily ever after" . . . . I finally feel free . . . I feel like I can try to be happy and live again. Thank you God for watching over me. Thank you for sending me on this incredible journey . . and showing me my true strength. Thank you God for knowing me well enough to do all this.
It's going to be a better life from here on out. It won't be fun, and things are going to be REALLY hard . . . but I've got nothing to hold me back
Ummm...Emily. Not to always be the one to put a damper on your happiness but do you not think it might just be a little too soon to be getting involved with someone?
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
It may do you well to consider the type of man you attract.
You're a beautiful girl, so that part is easy. But rebound relationships hardly ever work. Also, think of the mess you're getting this unsuspecting fellow into. Don't expect the situation with Kevin to just go away. Don't use Chris as a revenge tool, which is what this sounds like. You may be sick of hearing this, but listen to older and wiser heads here.
Your Daddy, :-)

He's really just a friend, I promise. I don't plan on jumping into anything.
As far as I am concerned though the Kevin mess is over and done with . . . from here on out it's all just red tape. Really it's been over for almost a year now and I just refused to except that. It took a black eye to show me the truth . . . . I'm glad I got it really. I haven't always attracted [censored] like Kevin, he's really the only one. My first boyfriemd was and still is wonderful, he's like a big brother to me now. I just thought I would add that on his behalf
I just can't wait until the divorce and the court for this black eye and everything is over. The cop said it could take up to a year to get through court over the eye though . . . . . yuck. The report wasn't even going to be filed until today . . . .
Well done Emily You have done so well, so hold your head up high because you are a winner! Well done with going to the cops and telling your folks. Make sure you sort out your locks on the house next! take care and God bless Ash
You spend time away from the boards on the weekend and look what happens!
First of all - I am so sorry about what happened to you. Your H is not a man - he is a pussy! Where I come from you don't put your hands on a woman and you never strike her - never! Your H has made me so mad that I would love just one hit - just one! But in the end - he is not worth it.
You did the right thing by going to the police. Do not feel bad about doing this or the ramifications for your H. This problem is not yours to own - it is his. I am glad your parents came by to help you. You need all the help you can get right now.
I agree with the others here - if something isn't done - he will hit others. Perhaps the OW, perhaps your girls. Doing something about it now is crucial.
Well, I do think this latest incident has given you all the reason you need to move on from your H. He will not change and he only gets worse. Continue to fully detach from him and move on. Do what you need to do to protect yourself and your girls. He has made his bed, it is time for him to sleep in it.
Thanks again! They came and changed my locks this morning. . . . so that is officially sorted out
I feel much safer now. MUCH! He can't just come in anytime and take anything he wants. I am scared that once he finds out that I am pressing charges, not that I have a choice. He will be angry and try to come back here. I just don't know. I want to protect the girls, but I'm worried they will still let him have them. Soooo scared. You would think they would figure it out, but I doubt it. It'll probably take one of them getting hurt for them to do anything, and that makes me sad. I wish now that I would have filed reports all the other times, the lady at Haven said they would need other counts of abuse to file the PDA. And that we'll have to have contact for the custody stuff og the kids, etc. . . . what CRAP! When they end up with a broken arm or a black eye . . . I will feel so bad. I should have done something before, but it was always hideable and I was always scared. A big black eye you can't hide. I just don't know. How awful.
