I'm so glad that you followed through with Victims Assistance. Thanks so much for posting this. I'm sure that many people on this site will find it valuable. I waited 5 days too long to leave. He got violent, I called 911, he was taken to jail and since he had violated a drunk driving probation by drinking he spent the next 30 days in jail. It actually worked out quite well for me because there was no anger or manipulation while I was packing. (The violence certainly didn't help me but at least I wasn't seriously hurt and it immediately erased any guilt that I felt about planning to leave him.) I didn't have to hide what I was doing. By the time he got out of jail I was settled in another state near my kids and grandkids. Thanks again for doing this. It could help save some lives.

Hugs, Jo
