That nasty comment he made, which was unprovoked by me, was the ‘hands to my throat’. It is clear to me to run. He truly hates me underneath his pretend love or he would never have made the lowest blow to hurt me like that. I know what I have to do.

It’s just me and my son visiting my mother today. I asked him to stay away for good, but he refuses, said he’d be back tonight. I’ll have to get the strength up for the lawyer again. I have horrific anxiety about that!
