...as the OP is, whether she is willing to admit it or not.

Sometimes I think that people read the subject of the post but do not actually read the OP or any of the follow up posts.[/quote]

That PP constantly posts the same thing. I had a post where she said that not knowing I am a victim. She never apologized for being an ass.

Anyway, OP some practical advice for you from someone who has been there:

1) Do what will make you feel better about making it work. I recommend ADAPT the certified Fairfax program.
2) The next time this happens make sure there is proof - recording would be best. In VA the person has to know they are being recorded.
3) Call the police when it happens
4) Go to the doctor to have any injuries documented.
5) Pursue legal recourses (protective order, etc)

Do the above and you can limit contact to only about the kids (no manipulation) he will be forced by the system to get help and you will also get help.

Right now I never see my ex, only communicate regarding our child, and he is getting the help he needs. He has limited visitations and there have been anger outbursts, but no physical abuse. Regardless of whether I stayed and allowed to get myself hurt or left his impact on my child would be not good. At least now that I've left, he has less than 1/3 custody so I'm hoping minimal impact.
