One thing to remember; restraining orders don't stop a thing! The only thing they do is make a misdemeanor a felongy!

There's Welfare in most States, I think. I had to go that route to get out from under a man much like what you're talking about.

It's good that you realize just how dangerous this man is. You need to be safe and make your kids safe!

You've gotten some very good advice. Good luck! You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
