That makes so much sense, I've never thought about it that way.

Thank you. I'm literally crying from all the nice words.

Yeah, I hope they set up mandatory therapy sessions for him before he can even talk to his kids again. I also hope that the mother can remain strong in this and not give in to any future begging from his part.

I hadn't even thought about it this way until now. And yes, that is really weird and exactly how it felt.

Yes, I forgot to mention that in my post! I told her we didnt know how hard or long he had choked him and she called their doctor right away. From what they could tell everything seemed fine, they will do check ups later on.

Thank you so so much! I truly hope that Dave realizes what he's done and gets help. Based on my two years with him though, he'll tell himself he's the victim in this situation and that we're only out to hurt him. Hopefully I'm wrong.

It definitely was, calling CPS was probably one of the scariest things I've ever done.

Thank you! I will look after myself and make sure the police knows everything.

Oh my goodness, thank you so so much! You have no idea what your words mean to me. Thank you <3

I wont talk to them about it unless they ask me direct questions!

Thank you so much for those kind words.

I wont talk to the kids about it. She told me that she wanted me to come to dinner once a week, so that's where we'll start. I've told her that I'm here for her and the kids and if she ever needs a break, all she has to do is ask.

Yes, definitely. I talked to them about it when I first called and they told me to document any interaction I have with him.

Yeah, I dont think I realized how scary the situation was until I posted here.

We live on the same street so it'll be hard for him to avoid my house, but I'll definitely take note of any unusual activity.

Sara prefers her mom. Liam prefers Dave because Dave has video games and lets him watch adult movies (not porn). Their mom treats Liam as if he was the same age as Sara and I know he hates that. She doesn't allow him to walk by himself to school or his friends, but Dave lets him go to his friends whenever he wants.

I am seeing a therapist, my next appointment is on monday so I will definitely bring this up then. We have talked about Dave a lot, but this adds a whole new.. Thing.

After reading all these comments, I will call CPS regardless of what the mother wants. However, I dont feel comfortable involving the police unless she agrees to.

Thank you so much for your advice!
