Hi all,
New to this site and glad to hear other voices like mine.
I had been begging my husband of 18yrs. for a divorce because of his extramarital activities, He said he would give me a divorce when he was ready. He had never laid a hand on me. Until last week. After a night of drinking he came home and threw me up against the wall and choked me, yelling about how he could bash my head in. And how I'd never get his house and his kids. I waited until he was asleep and went to the police. A really tough thing to do since he is one of them.
I now have an order of protection that says he can't come to the house. I thought he was mad before I had him arrested, I can't imagine how mad he is now.
I have 2 kids and they kinda understand that I did what I had to do but he's still their dad and our uncertain future scares the hell out of me. They know that I have put up with alot but he crossed the line when he put his hands on me. I couldn't live with myself if I did nothing. Just needed to share
Thanx
Copper
