mosaic assessment
I had taken a lethality assessment at crisis intervention previously, I know that the results frightened the counselor and she told me that she was legally required to share the information with the sheriff's office. However, I took the mosaic today on my own, I never really read the other results, these were there in black and white....8 out of 10, so basically an 80% chance he will become lethal when I tell him I'm done, by leaving of course. So....now what? I called around and got prices and other information on storage units, gonna rent one next week and start taking important things there. Called house of Ruth attorneys today, they are a walk in legal clinic so I plan to get together a list of questions and go in on Thursday at lunch. I will ask Ann if the girls and I can stay in shelter and make plans to talk to their schools. Amber called tonitetoo schedule them for therapy but iI missed the call so will call her tomorrow. I need to find a car he won't recognize and decide what to do about work...transfer to another office or get another job? I shared the results with them so I think they are taking it pretty seriously I've come top the conclusion that I cannot wait until June to make a move. Well also talk to landlord when I pay rent in Feb. Lord, I need to figure out a temp home for cat too.

Talk to the shelter and also to SPCA, and local animal shelters, re the cat. Someone will have some ideas, if you don\'t have a friend or relative who can take it.
Do be very VERY careful. I know it\'s really hard to believe that he\'s that much of a threat, even though you kind of know that he is. It wasn\'t until I was well out and starting to feel safe that I realised just how dangerous my ex was, and I still don\'t think he holds a candle to yours. I don\'t think mine would premeditatedly decide to kill me, but I\'m now convinced he would have killed me one day, just the same - in a rage, or by accident (as in, if I fell badly when he shoved me down, a brain aneurism from being boxed around the temples, that kind of thing).
