Oh I hope things work out for you.

Obviously I can't pretend to know much about the situation (only a few posts on a forum) but one thing seems obvious.

You need to get away from this guy for good. Don't be tempted to go back. From previous posts all it has caused you is heartache and distress. Your life won't get any better if you keep this up.

I only bothered posting because you seem like a nice girl, but the situation is certainly not bringing out the best in you.

this is going to sound weird, but you are kind of lucky. Better that he is a manipulative douchebag than a wife beater. Listen to everyone who suggests you use caution, but for the most part, unless you are balls-out crazy, the mother still has the upper hand for the most part in these things these days.

Plus, a smart judge is going to see that he is manipulating you, and isnt going to have any tolerance for that crap.

Dang Pink remind me never to piss you off...

But seriously, next time try to keep a cool head, yes alot of us guys think with our dicks, but not all of us. So please don't try to lump us all in with that douchebag. The best I can say is the next time that you feel like your going to flip out. Just leave. Always works.

My aunt has 3 kids. way back, more than 20 years ago, she found out her husband was screwing someone else, got her pregnant, and left them all for her.

She turned into a man hating bitch after that and hasnt really changed in 20 years. dont go that route.




A happy note, though. Congradulations for reminding him that actions have consequences ;)

Agreed - you have more than just yourself to think of.

Where I'm from you could face a custodial sentance for that kind of assault - not sure what the laws are liek there.

in the hands of the right judge, she could get away with a stern lecture. Given the circumstances, I've heard of the assaultee getting some sort of goofy communtiy service or the like because they instigated it; kind of a "You knew what you were doing, douchebag".

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

we're here for you maggie

Says the most absent member of 2008. :rolleyes:

;)

Maggie, I'm so sorry that all this has happened. This is the last thing you need. Having said that, I agree with Rod in that you need to get control of your temper. Your ex could absolutely use it to take your kids away from you. If you need to talk, I'm here for you.

Again i'm not sure of the laws there but it dependings on the charges. if as Maggie says 'there was blood everywhere' in Uk/Ireland that could be charged as GBH and not a simple assault which would be a much more serious charge.

Best thing I'd imagine to do is get the best lawyer that you can? What were the actualk charges?
