[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 275424, member: 6705"] Des, For your and the other children's safety if husband insists that it is your problem (which is what is sounds like) you must find a better way to protect yourself. Locking everything up is only a temporary measure. The child standing in your doorway watching you is creeping [B][I]me[/I][/B] out just reading it. Counseling can be free or reduced cost. If you really do not have the $ he may qualify for Medicaid. Otherwise there are a lot of programs. They sometimes require a bit of looking but a call to a domestic violence shelter/hotline may help. If the $ is there and husband just doesn't want to spend it - tell him ... a criminal lawyer will cost a LOT MORE than counseling. AND there will be counseling [I]on top of the lawyer[/I] if something happens. Best to nip it in the bud. I stuck around through the worst but difficult child 1 never acted quite like this. Although I was close to leaving. You may have to leave (even temporarily). husband needs to understand that if you are being threatened (and the other children too) they must be protected [I]at all costs[/I]. Can you stay with parents or a friend for a while? I'm sending as much support your way as I can. You're in my thoughts & prayers. [/QUOTE]
