Tennismike ~ Thanks for reading and for your febdeack, I appreciate it. I know it seems simple ..just pack up and leave, go stay with family, seek counsel, etc. However, it's not realistic. I have a life, I have a job, my kids go to school and have friends, etc. I have no family or friends out of the area that I could just upend my whole life to go stay with for undetermined amount of time. And it would be a bigger injustice to put my kids through that. I think a lot of people in this situation have the same issues. You are right, it is definitely a form of abuse and it is extremely painful. I did what I thought was the right thing to do. I hired an attorney (at a detrimental expense and hardship) and went the legal route . I don't know if I would recommend that to anyone unless there was an endless financial supply. It has been one of the most difficult things I've ever been through. There is very little that has to do with the best interest of the children , particularly if you are dealing with a sociopath who understands the legal system. Now, even if I did have a place to pack up the kids and run to, I wouldn't be able to because I would be the one to get in trouble . It makes no sense and it creates a horrendous amount of stress on top of an already stressful situation.
