You know, when you said that he was going through Anger management classes, to me it would have seemed like a good thing. My ex went to this thing called ACT. (Abuse Ceases Today). It was court mandated for 26 weeks.

I thought that was terrific !!!!! But it wasn't.......

What most of them learn there, is they are not as bad as someone else, or should I say, that is what my ex told me.

I don't know if I was reading steven stosny, or lundy bancroft at that time. The book told me that I should be able to call the place and let them know how things were going, they never called me.

I called them to let them know that my H (now ex) just verbally and emotionally abused me, and that if he didn't have to leave for that meeting I thing he would have physically abused me also.

This place told me that I was not their client, my ex was their client, and they couldn't discuss things with me.

I know this doesn't mean much. I think it only means if you really want DV to be more recognized we need to be taking more action about it.

Again, I am truly sorry.
