[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 289189, member: 1233"] I am very glad that you have contacted the right people and will be safe soon. I am going to say this next in all caps and big bold letters. [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=5][B]THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS TIME!!! DO NOT LET YOUR GUARD DOWN. NOT A TINY BIT UNTIL HE IS GONE AND SAFELY IN CUSTODY![/B][COLOR=Black][SIZE=2] ok. Done yelling. The time when an abused woman is leaving a violent man is teh most dangerous because he knows or senses he is losing her. This man is incredibly dangerous. If he thinks he is going to "lose" you then he may do all kinds of scary and dangerous things. 5 minutes is an eternity if he goes on a shooting spree. Or even just tries to break in. Don't leave the phone in the cradle. If you have a cordless phone it should be in your pocket or in a pocket made for it with a cut off sleeve with cord or ribbon or a lanyard sewn onto it. Have it on your person so you can call for help at any time. Train the kids to run to your room (assuming there is a lock on your door) and lock them in. PUT a lock on the door if there isn't one. At the very least put a hook and eye latch on the inside. Down where the kids can reach it. Make it so they practice running into teh room and locking it. This is what they should do if the man comes over. If possible, have a phone plugged in there that they can call 911 with.
