Leaving

Dogmom23's picture

I am finally divorcing my emotionally abusive husband. This weekend SD 9 visited. He blamed all her horrible behavior on me. He screamed in my face in front of her "take your medication!" He blamed my DD 15 for his daughter's behavior as well when all my DD did was babysit her all weekend. That was it. It is MY house. My DD and I came home and SD began to act out and he said "everything was fine until you two got here. You weren't supposed to come back to the house." Excuse me. This is my house which I pay for and he doesn't. I never want to see him or his mean daughter again.

I'm relieved to hear that. Kick the loser out on his arse. Change the locks. You and your dd can now start to live again.

OMG---Do you feel safe?

Did you ask him to leave? You can always call the police.

I hope he's gone.  Good for you for refusing to be treated that way and to expose your daughter to that.  I'm sure life will be looking up in the not too distant future.

Hon, I'm happy you're no longer willing to put up with that abuse. 

Are you safe? Consider notifying the police of what's going on and keep your phone with you at all times. Stay safe!!!

Prayers and {{{hugs}}}.

I haven't heard from him in almost 24 hours which makes me nervous. I don't know if he plans to come back here to pick up his stuff and when. He is not violent. He will turn his daughter against me but I have to accept that.

Definitely what they've said.  Pack up all of his things (and inventory that mess if he's the type to cause trouble).

Contact him and tell him its available on x day at x time then place it on the porch.  If that schedule doesn't work for him get a date/time that does and put his crap on the porch.  Do. Not. Open. The. Door.  He doesn't need to talk to you in order to pick boxes or bags up off the porch.  If you have something like a ring or nest camera make sure it's on.  If not, find a way to record it (without having to stand out there).

If he's got some specific request that you may have overlooked he can email it to you.  If he's got larger items like furniture that requires extra bodies he can wait until its convenient for you.

Also, I'd put the request out for his location in writing so you can have him served.  Even if he doesn't respond (or you can serve him at work) it shows a solid date of separation should you need it.  Will also help with any "you can't change the locks" claim.

Good luck, stay strong.

Good luck! I wish you the best. It sounds like this relationship was horrible. Better to be alone than in a bad relationship.
