How long ago, did she divorce? She's just brought a man, into her home, and there's deal breaking uncertainty? Don't mean to sound harsh, but what was the rush for you to move in there? There's a fair amount of trauma recovery for battered women to go through. He's still calling her his wife...sounds like the break was recent

Not physically abusive to them, but she says he was always yelling and throwing things at or around them. At first even if it was her fault like breaking a plate, he'd take it out on the kids. Then after the 2nd year, he took it all out on all of them. I don't live there. I only come over on my days off and the kids love me. Tell me they wish I was their dad. Her oldest daughter, 12, tells her he's just as bad when they're over there as he was when he was home. They are glad she divorced him cause now they have me.
They divorced right before I met her a year ago, she and the kids stayed in a women's shelter for a couple weeks while he moved out. Weird part is I met him with her after they divorced, he wanted to be my friend cause he liked me and thought I was a good guy. Then he mentioned a few times to her that she should date me.... what was that about?
