My DH has a bad temper, and when we have our differences he gets so crazed about me not seeing things his way. Twice before, he called the cops and claimed I was mentally imbalanced and needed to be locked up. The cops sent me to the psych ER, the docs of course said there was nothing wrong with me and released me. After two of these episodes, I told him that if he ever did this again, I would press charges. He did it again this past weekend, injured my foot in the process of trying to keep me from leaving the apt, and when the cops arrived in response to his call, they asked me if I wanted to sed charges. I said yes, but now, the reality of having pressed charges has set in. The cops have a temporary protection order in place and he is not allowed in the home. I don't know what to tell the kids. He promises to get counseling and work to repair the marriage. I don't have a particular queustion but would appreciate words of wisdom from those who have been here.
