Stay off the couch and stay busy, she said. But here I sit...all day today minus my two appointments and all day yesterday. Paralyzed with anxiety and sadness. Unable to breathe or function...barely caring for my children and getting annoyed by their constant need for attention. I feel like a failure.

Is he still living with you? Can't you get him to leave and have a friend or relative stay with you?
Thanks for this!

Last I heard, he is still there. He degrades her, and is not emotionally invested in the marriage - so he is in attack mode, and she is deeply wounded and unable to fight back. I believe he is in the basement, although he interacts in all parts of the house through necessity.

I hope she's keeping her PDoc and T in the loop. With him still in the house and in 'attack mode' as you said I fear she's going to get completely screwed over in the divorce if she can't get away from the abuse to gain the strength to fight him. It's sounding like he's going to make sure this divorce is s brutal battle.

Cash-Is it possible to get a restraining order after he grabbed you the other day? Or if he does it again? That would get him out of your house and away from you. I know nothing of how this works but if he acts abusive that should get him out of your house which I think would do you a world of good.

She can say he's violent without having to mention any incident and will get the order.
That simple. Well, in my case was that simple, because I was violent lol.
Not against women. I've never touched a woman with a rose petal. But against life's situations. Proving the record right.
Still is a Bad move. Imao. I've had two of those from two different wives and all they do is piss you off.
It's a piece of paper impossible to enforce 24/7. I don't know what to advise you cash, but I know what not to.

I agree that restraining orders often do nothing. But if it got him out of her house then it wouldn't matter if she still "ran into him accidentally", at least he wouldn't be coming up from the basement to grope her and criticize.

That sounds so creepy. Coming up from the basement to grope and criticize. It's like a movie where the intend is for the man to drive the women crazy. Does he seem to be enjoying antagonizing you?

I wonder if there is any ADA protection for this. Surely he will drive you crazy and cause an episode to be worse.

Wow! You guys are awesome to have on my side! He is still living with me. He is calm and even nurturing (that's the best description I have) some. For the most part though, we see each other little to none and we are cordial. I'm not sure I need a restraining order but I did ask when he was planning to leave and his response was ambiguous and he implied he won't leave until he has a house ready for he and the kids. As far as I know, he isn't looking.

ElsaMars, it was completely creepy! I even called him on it and he said he was joking. But...he said he may have crossed the line (or the likes of that). It was incredibly misleading and inappropriate!

Signs of Emotional Abuse | World of Psychology

After my t implied he was emotionally abusive I researched it. When I came across this article, I was floored. He wasn't just abusive in the last year or so (or number of months), but he has been abusive since I can even remember. I mean...this whole article explains our relationship. And...I am teaching my kids the same.
