Thank you so much for your response. I actually moved out of our home and back to my hometown two hours away so I could be around family, who are all helping tremendously. After he asked for a divorce his behavior went from bad to worse. He became verbally abusive and so I left. As much as I’d love to go No Contact, he periodically asks to see our daughter (when it’s convenient). In the 2 months since I’ve left he’s come down to visit 3 times, each visit being about an hour in total. Several other times he’s said he’d come but last minute gets “sick” and then our credit card charges show several stops at the liquor store.
