Re: What to expect?

Well the saga continues. On March 17, just a week before my divorce was final, my drunk and probably high now ex-husband came to the house and flipped out. He called first and asked if we could talk. I asked if he had been drinking (St. Patty's Day) and said if he hadn't I would meet him in a public place. Before I knew if, he was in the drive way and ready to fight. He shoved me backwards and my head hit the floor. He then proceed to kick me in the head with his Harley boots until our 9-year old walked in the kitchen. Then I got the whole, I love you sob story. He did leave and I took my son to a friends house and FINALLY had him arrested. He was charged with felonious assult with intent to do great bodily harm. He plead to a lesser felonious assult charge and is now in jail for a year. The system worked very well with me in arresting him that night and not letting him out on bond. It helped that he was already on probation. So, I have a year to set up safety plans, get counseling for me and my son and get my stuff in order however I am acting immediately. He has a year of jail time and extensive counseling/aa/na for which he requested. It is very true that the end of the relationship is by far the most dangerous. Tweet
