well,i feel like he has never really had to pay and own up to his behaviours,so he will never change..he plead guilty so he would get an easier sentence and they would drop the death threat charge,,he also managed to somehow get a pardon(or magically make his record dissappear),so the judge will never see his previous violence.his brother has VERY close connections with the police and has always helped get him out of trouble.it is sooo frustrating..i realize he has been on house arrest and will be until sentencing,so he kinda paid some that way,and he does have to have people know he assaulted me,,but moreso i believe he will have to answer for his behaviour when he dies,,,idk,i just wish it was over and i could move on without fear...seeing him yesterday triggered some really deep hurting emotions and i am trying so hard to heal..but i seen a councellor today and she helped me...hope u are doing well,,ty for replying,, in the future when its not so hard i look forward to talking to you about both of our experiences...have a good night Tatyana
