I'm so sorry you are going through this agan. I'm glad you realized the checks were gone and put a stop payment on them.
It just sux that you can't feel safe in your own home, and worse that it's your own child.
Do what you need to do, and keep pressing charges when he screws up. Once you get the protection order in, if he calls you, document it, as it is a violation (if you have the order written up that way).
You're doing a good job of taking care of you...keep it up.
Hugs and prayers!
