I have a feeling his wife already knows of his abusive nature and is probably going through a lot of stuff herself with it. How about getting yourself a big toothy dog who barks at the slightest noise?? Let the dog answer the door. Cameras and video are a wonderful idea. Alarms are always a good thing too...on the doors and every window. Imagine his surprise when they start going off at 3am and wake the neighbors....and all the lights!!

I know it costs money to do all this, but your life and safety are priceless and well worth every penny!

The most important thing is to keep yourself safe. At this point, who cares what happens to him??? He is the abuser and needs to be held responsible for his actions. Document Document Document!!!

If you have a women's shelter to go to, then go there. They can help with where to turn and what to do. Going there is not "running away" it's KEEPING YOURSELF SAFE! Remember you won't be there forever, its a temporary thing until the situation is handled.

I wish you well dear.....please please please do what you have to do to stay safe.
