Just wanted to update you.
I did look up the sites, Byzantine. I've downloaded them, and I'm ready to take action.

But, my counselor brought up a point, which I'd like to share here too.
She asked if this woman were a man, would the police let it go on like this year after year? She pointed out that this woman is abusive. And that abusers should be treated the same, whether they are women or men. And I know, from my work with a battered women's and children's shelter, that when the abuser is arrested the first time, it sends the message to them that it's NOT ok to continue!

So, I went to the station, and asked to speak to a leutenant I have spoken to before. I felt more comfortable with that. But, he wasn't in. Neither was the Captain, whom I asked for next. So, I got his secretary. She took a message; he wouldn't be back until Monday.

Tonight, I got a call from another Leutenant. He said he's now in charge of this type of thing. I gave him a briefing of what's transpired. And I asked him the question. He didn't answer. He just said to "let's start fresh. Call whenever she does anything."

I told him I already have 13 police statements and two witness statements! That I HAVE called each time, and NOTHING HAPPENS! And that *I* cannot take this ANYMORE!!! I also told him that if she's drunk and disorderly again, as the police have noted in the past, I *expect* her to be arrested! I didn't really get a response to that; just some heming and hawing about what they can and can't do.... blah, blah, blah!

So, there it is. Start again. Call the police when she starts again.
What didn't he understand?
She HAS started again!!!

This plan of his is nothing but a repeat of the past...
And I get to experience more and more of her abuse...

Thanks for listening...

Peace!
