Cosmic, as I stated in an earlier comment, I did leave for almost 2 years. He was relentless. The law was not on my side. For about 6 months I was able to hide from him, but then the law said he was entitled to my current whereabouts because of the children. The more I tried to fight it, the more I was made to sound like the horrible one just trying to keep his kids away from him out of spite. The final weekend before I gave up the fight and just came back (9 months ago), I had been ordered to let him have the kids for that weekend or go to jail (contempt of court is what the judge said). When I went to pick the kids up, he refused to let me have them. I called police. They said there was nothing they could do because we were still legally married and there was no custody order specifying one orbthe other had primary custody. They told me I had to leave his property without my kids or I would be taken to jail. I left. He called me right after I left and said if I wanted to see my kids again I would move back in. That is why I came back~ my kids.

I tried to leave the right way, the legal way, the way I was told to do it. Instead of things being in my favor, I was made to look like the bad guy.

I only foresee getting away from him again one way.
