Hi Ink. I hope things are getting better. I had an idea. When I had a situation when I needed to get a restraining order I was put in touch with a local women's services organization. They were great! I had a woman sit with me and help me fill out the paper work. And she helped me with the court appointment too. I was allowed to give my testimony over the phone because it was really frightening for me. Even if you don't want to file a restraining order a women's services or battered women's organization might be able to give you some great support. My thoughts are with you! Good luck! Annie
