I need to ask that she only communicate via email with me and give things some time/space. If she continues I can then get an order of protection. I don't think i mentinoned it here but she has 2 handguns and a concealed weapons permit.
Hi PattyG,
Not only is this great advice for documentation purposes if further legal help is needed, but it also allows you to document this for yourself. I hope you keep a file or journal and can go back and read this stuff during those times when you feel vulnerable.
I do appreciate the desire to keep things somewhat "normal" for the kids sake. Just be careful. Active addicts can be unsafe and unpredictable.
Peace,
