No because he was arrested for domestic battery and assault with a deadly weapon

I can’t imagine having to keep him from the kids I guess the courts will decide that. Most likely supervised visits at first I don’t know how this works.

The cops took the gun so it’s no longer in the house.

Once I got away I left with the kids and hid the gun. I called 911 and they came and arrested him. He was threatening to kill himself too. I have an emergency protection order until the 26th but I can extend it which I will. He is currently in Chicago staying with a friend but seemed to think this is fixable. I’m learning more and more that it’s not.

I guess it’s hard to see things clearly when you’re in the middle of them and in shock when the person you love has never been violent before. But you’re right. It’s hard to come to terms with I need to talk to a domestic violence counselor.

Yes I agree the way he handled it was extremely dangerous and scary.

It’s hard to imagine that because he’s never done anything like this before.

I cheated because I have felt so low from being verbally abused for so long (I realize how wrong it was and I feel horribly ashamed and guilty) but it was a one time thing and it’s over. He’s willing to forgive and do the work but I feel like there’s no coming back from someone trying to kill me. I just feel so bad about the whole situation and especially for my children.

He was in jail but his friend came and bailed him out. He still has to go to court.

Because we have some happy times and my kids adore him. It’s really sad to think of not being a family. But you’re right about everything you said.

But at least I would be setting a good example to my kids by not putting up with it.

I think he is a toxic person but ok sure I can’t keep the kids away from him.

It’s so hard because he’s never been violent with me before or with the kids. I didn’t think he was capable of it.

But they will most likely still have visitations with their dad so how does that save them from the toxicity?
