Onyx Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 God.. my life has become a living hell. My marraige was wonderful at first... but in the last few months, something terrible has changed in my soon to be Ex. The major downfall started a month ago, when a friend of Chris requested he come up to help with spreading his mothers ashes. That required me, on my drivers permit to make the 20 hours drive. To make matters worse, I was pregnant with an IUD in place. He tells me the morning we're supposed to leave that he was planning to divorce me at the end of the month because I had no job, as it was agreed I would be a stay at home mom for our four month old daughter. Well I miscarried and spend the entire trip sloughing tissue and bleeding to the point that I should have gone to the hospital. But I followed through with everything because I had made a promise, a anniversery gift you could say. We patched things up temporarily, but everything unraveled as soon as he got into his old habits- staying out all night, going to lunch with other women and refusing to care for my daughter in any way shape or form. He got violent with me, and tried to corner me and raised his hand to me again. I left the following day. Then he threatened me over the phone, saying he would go through me any way he had to to get to our daughter. I did the only thing I knew to protect my baby... I filed an emergency restraining order. Yesterday we went to court to get a ruling on whether the order will be lengthened. He wrapped the judge around his pinky and told her exactly what she wanted to hear. Case is thrown out. I called him later that night to find out what his visitation plans are and if he's going to pay child support. I asked him why he told my MIL he was putting my stuff out on the street earlier, and he says he's got new furniture. So that means I have to use the storage unit- that only I can get into and he tells me that he got the manager to let him in. I went to the courts to get protection from this and they threw me to the wolves. Is it legal from him to harrass me like this? Is what he did theft and could he walk into my home and do it again? How can I protect my daughter and I from this idiot when the law has told me to blow in the wind? I desperately need advise... I can't even get emergency assistance to talk to a lawyer.
