My Daughter Got Beat Up By Her Husband Last Night While She Was Asleep

[Abstract]

Hi Gizmo,
Don't worry about answering people separately. You are inundated with replies here and I am sure noone expects it. Do what is best for you at present.

I am impressed by your daughters determination and strength. It is not easy to hold onto these things in the face of the type of violence she has been at the receiving end of.

Hi Gizmo. Don't even worry about anything. You just keep doing what you are doing. We are all here for you if you need us. Keeping you and the girls in our prayers. Your husband as well. Stay safe. That goes for all of you.

Dear Gizmo,
No one here would expect a personal answer. Together, we are stronger, even when we feel weak. It's what we do for each other. I started on this site for one reason, I stay for several now, not the least of which is the support I receive, and hopefully, what l support I can give. I would imagine a lot of folks feel the same.

I am glad your daughter is taking the bull by the horns. I too would like to see her in a shelter, but I don't know the guy. Would not want to either. It sounds like you are all well organized. It will all fall into place. Hugs.

Just keep us posted on how you all are doing,OK? That's all we need. (((Hugs)));)

 

[Abrasky]

How awesomely strong is your daughter. She must get it from you;).

Oy vey, Gizmo. No need to worry about us....you need your energy for you and your family. This is what support does when it's at its best. Imagine if all of us lived closer together. We'd be like the gang of women in India.:whistling: An attorney can file for emergency support. It will force him to pay the bills and child support right away. As long as she keeps moving foreword the system will lend in a hand to help her. Get some well deserved rest. Big hugs to you. As I said as much as this situation sucks you and your family are truly inspiring.

A wonderful bright spot in all of this is the kids are not his. There will be no child support or visitation, so since she is done with him now she does not have to deal with his crap for years and years.

They have been a family under seige I am learning now. The girls are happy that he went to jail. He never touched them.

Last night when the kind police officer brougt over the temporay restrainin order so she did not have to take the girls out late at night, talked to the oldest granddaughter alone. She gave a good interview and told them how intimidaated she felt from him.

I will call her in a little while to see how she is doing. The girls are so scared and confused. They are having a real hard time. I am going to suggest that she get them into therapy for themselves.

I just wish my husband was not so far gone with the parkinsons and dementia. I was so proud of him today. He was home alone for two hours and he did not panick.

I am feeling so much better tonight. I am not feeling so afraid like I was. I think he is going to leave us alone. He respected the order today. He knows if he tries to contact her he will go back to jail. I think his bail was only five thousand dollars. I really wish it had been a whole lot more.

I am very grateful to the police department for how on top of this they have been.

I am very proud of my daughter for all she is doing right now. Today she told me I am more upset than she is.

I have to call my psych doc for stronger medication for anxiety. I am not drinking right now. It does not really help me. I thought it would. I was glad to have it in the house when they came over to stay with us because I could serve it to my daughter that night. She was really grateful.

Gizmo, you should change your moniker to "Wonder Woman!" All I can say is, you rock! I am proud of you for knowing what works for you and what doesn't work for you. I am proud of you for raising a strong, intelligent daughter. And I am proud of you for being such a loving wife, mother and grandmother.

As mothers, our children are always little, to us. My Ma, bless her heart. I was already in my fifties (still am, thank you very much). I travel for work, and I travel for several medical missions each year. Never would she ask me if I had a good time, or how the mission went. She would ask me if I got to church on Sunday :)

I will try to talk her into going into a shelter. The problem is that she has animals and is very attached to them and worries about them. They will not allow animals into the shelter. I will have a very hard time talking her into going.

Could she possibly put the animals in at a kennel or at a vet's practice? If you explain the situation they might help out. The RSPCA in Australia sometimes helps out so I don't know what organisations you have other there?

You are all doing really well Gizmo! Well done to you and the family!

 

[Philippa]

Ms Spock beat me to it.

You're doing so well gizmo. You've risen to the challenge and it's working out quite well, apart from him being out already, but at least he is not dumb enough to go near her or you.
