(((((((((((Gracey))))))))))))) I'm so sorry sweetie. You have got to pull yourself mentally out of the situation - think of it in clinical terms, as if you were someone else and what you would tell them to do. Call the police - you do have a record of his violence...call them right now while he is gone, and ask them what your options are. "When in doubt - find out!" I can't really get him - but, he does sound violent. Stay your course Gracey - you are doing the right thing. Just remember, no matter what he says verbally, or what he threatens to take from you - it's all just BS. I am so so so sorry - you will make it through this and your life will be better than you ever imagined! God has so much better in store for you and your kids....have faith - I know you do...
