Pineknot Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 I separated from my husband in June. He was emotionally abusive most of the time, to my kids. I left after he locked me out of our house because I wouldn't do as I was told. I found out he cancelled car insurance for myself and my son yesterday, without letting us know. I am beside myself because I asked him for a dissolution, offered to leave with only what I came in with. He simply ignored my dissolution question and proceeded to reminisce about "the good old days" when we were together. I can't imagine what's going on but I feel alone and scared. Sometimes he could be violent. He owns a sporting goods store and sells firearms. I feel afraid, especially with the seperation. He didn't want me to go. Now I wonder what he'll do when he realizes I'm not coming back. I know I could seek a restraining order, but that would literally kill his livelihood. So now I don't know what to do. If my attorney informs him of my intent to divorce, I will be concerned for my well-being. He's an alcoholic as well, and has better connections than I do. Just venting, anyone with advice is welcome and appreciated. Thanks for reading this.
whichwayisup Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Get yourself to a safe place before you hand him divorce papers. Seriously - Get the police involved, let them know what type of man your husband is.. About his abusive behaviour, the store, the guns, his drinking.. His temper, all of it. Stay safe! Sorry that you're going through this..Keep posting.
