Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
I am beginning to get very nervous and scared. DH seems to be worsening with his anger. Despite him being in Texas and me and the kids being Illinois, I am very nervous. I keep wondering when the next shoe will drop. I am wondering can he force me to bring the kids back to Texas to be with him? Are there laws saying I have to return with the kids? Can he take them away?
Today was our anniversary and I did not respond to his email. We were out when he called and I did not return his call. He sent me a very pitiful little bear holding a small vase with 3 small yellow roses. I was not expecting anything from him. I also know he bought his girlfriend gifts for her birthday, which is tomorrow and Christmas. Sigh.
I am nervous because his myspace page has his emotion being pissed off and his title saying wondering he should be quitting or fighting fiercely? My mother pointed out why do I go look at his myspace page anyway. It is not in my best interest to do so.
Friends and family tell me that he can't take the kids easily. That when it comes to my youngest he has never shown much in handling his diabetes. He was on his computer playing an online game and talking to his girlfriend during our time with the diabetic counselor when she was showing us how we were to handle the diabetes and do injections. He rarely gets the insulin carb ratios correct. He doesn't know how to handle a low or a high. he fell asleep on the couch when he told me he would handle checking our son during the night and he never woke me up when he did do a check when I needed the number. They point out that when we did leave, DH took leave from work for close to 3 weeks and never came here to work this out. That it took several weeks for him to decide to call us and that he only calls the kids 2 days a week and he has already missed one of those days.
DH says he is hurt that I took the kids away. But seriously who would have taken care of them? How would he have taken care of them? What choice did I have? Am I worrying over something that I shouldn't be worrying about? Can anyone help me with this fear?

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
You really need to talk to someone who knows about this stuff. Can you talk to a lawyer or is there some sort of welfare organization that can give you some guidance?
Good on you for not responding to his email! Hang in there, you are doing great! You know what you want and you are well on your way.
