CJR, hi and welcome! i'm so very sorry to read this

i think you're very brave to do what needs to be done to protect your family from this verbally abusive man. the younger ones need to know that this is not acceptable behavior and you're showing them that! kudos!

i wish you much luck, and think you're a wonferful grandmother for your actions. i don't think the man will change after all these years, so self protection and the protection of those who can't self protect, is the way to go...that's what you're doing! great job!

be safe and i hope to hear from you again soon,
