I can't write tonight. We're in the middle of yet another meltdown caused by Hurricane Angie (this is what her name will be in the book). Here's what she did to me tonight after I walked away while she was yelling at me - she chased me down.
She also tried to take Phoenix with her at least three times tonight. I want it in writing that the next time she threatens my dog, I will punch her in the face, call the police, then file by a restraining order against her. Damn the consequences and whether or not she sees her kids again.

ReplyDeleteBeth, I know this is horrible and difficult and terribly unfair. And I know that family members know how to push your buttons, because let's face it - they installed those buttons. But please use your considerable intelligence in dealing with this situation. This is battery, so by all means, document the incident, both in writing and with pictures. But please, please do not reciprocate the violence. While it's tempting, I suspect that it will only escalate the situation, and that will not get you the results that you want or need. So call the police, file a restraining order, but please, please do not hit back.
ReplyDeleteGirl I think you should be filing today... This is not okay what she is doing. Violence is violence, regardless if it's family or not. For your sake and Phoenix. She has already tried to run him over... I don't want to see her succeed because everyone has been giving her more and more chances. this is just her wanting attention. Dont give her the chance to actually do some hurt and damage to your kiddo, she has already hurt you. Love you and want to see the best for you and this is far from the best
