To be honest with you, I truly believe that if he was forced out of the house, he would have gone over the edge. Witnessing his behavior over the last 2 days - his mental state is fragile. And that's quite an understatement.
However, this RO does keep him on his toes. He now knows that I will no longer tolerate his rages and he can be arrested. He also knows that if that happens, I can then request the full RO - that is, have him removed from the home.
As a matter of fact, the officer who served him the papers was the same one who came here when I called 911 in January 06 - he remembered me and remembered how SO acted towards me (as well as him & the other officer that responded) - verbally abusive to the point that THEY almost arrested him that night because he wouldn't shut up when they asked him to. This particular officer was also aware of the events that happened on 2/6/07 (the suicide threat) and I explained what led me to seek the RO.
Part of the reason I went to the courthouse was to have a lawyer appointed to my case. I could only get a referral with a case pending. So right now, I'm waiting to find out who that lawyer is.
I don't even know what I want anymore. It sounds strange, I know. I can accept the end of our R - if that's what he wants.
However, in his spitefulness at my court actions against him, he took the money he had placed into "my" account back out. Told me to "find my own money" and "get a job". Now, if the man wants me gone so badly, wouldn't you think he would do everything possible to assist me in moving out? Why take away the only money that I had to use to move out? Irrational. Doesn't make any sense. So now - even if I locate a rental - I HAVE NO MONEY TO MOVE. It's not logical. But then again, that's part of his psychological problems. Not being able to process things rationally.
There's so many different issues here that need to be dealt with. I fear the most difficult times are yet to come.
