...I was very passive kept me from ever standing up for myself untile I finally woke up one day when his hands went too far w/ one of the girls and I called the cops on him.
chicki, I did not see this posting before I sent the one at 8:29am Central and am very concerned. Physical abuse is extremely serious and if I were in that sitch I would take all steps necessary to protect myself and my children (that is what I would expect of my W as well if I was abusive) and pray that he gets help. Further, your comment in the quotation led me to believe that there may be sexual abuse as well, I hope I am wrong about that. If that is the case, he is dangerous and the children need to be protected at all costs.
I would avoid any contact with him if he is physically and sexually abusive.
I am praying for you and your children.
