[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

My concern is if therapist reports as a mandate d reporter.

Then CPS calls and agree with all of you, does not do anything in this case as they have much more severe cases

But they still call.

And that would significantly escalate my situation with my spouse without actually helping address it in any way.

I am still stuck for now just with an even angrier human being who has the perfect pretext to explode because maintaining an immaculate image is what they do in public. [/quote]

OP this is par for the course. You are correct that attracting negative attention without leaving will escalate the danger. Once you decide to break the glass you have to be ready to leave at the same time.

This takes preparation. You need a pile of money or people who will loan you some; a place to stay (preferably of your own but can be with friend or family) that is furnished, a job or a plan to get one soon, and a school / childcare plan for the kids.

Document everything you can against the kids and yourself if there is objective evidence like bruises you can photograph, or witnesses who can testify. Verbal abuse is he said/she said and no one will care. Once you are divorcing the law only cares about child abuse not spousal abuse, unless there if physical evidence.[/quote]

Obviously there is nothing going on here if the worst examples are: grabbing an object and name calling. [/quote]

OP Theres pushing too in front of our kids. Behind closed doors there is more. [/quote]

OP, 1) clear your browser history; 2) contact a local DV group and get a list of attorneys they recommend, see one and make a short, medium and long term legal and safety plan. If they have a support group that you can safely attend, do so. The above is likely to be of far greater value than a garden variety "therapist;" 3) if you do not work begin taking steps immediately to become self supporting. [/quote]
