After I found out about his secret plan of filing for divorce and waiting until our daughter went back to school to have me served at work a month later, he suddenly wanted to be friends. He wanted to do dinner together, go see a movie, spend time together. No. I wanted no part of that.
For 3 days he tried to hoover me back in, but at this point I was so hurt by everything that I just wanted no part of him. It was a slap in the face after years of trying to get us back on track that he had this diabolical exit strategy planned now that he was no longer on the hook for child support.
When I refused his efforts and locked myself away from him, he switched to angry, cruel and hurtful. It was like watching someone being possessed. When he got aggressive with me, I filed an order of protection. But the judge ordered him to leave the house and then told me to change the locks. Which I did. I also had a half dozen friends which included a county correctional officer with me all day while he moved out. But at the end, he couldn't resist one more aggressive behavior.
He found out really quick... my friends will protect me and that they weren't afraid to throw his a$$ in jail. Badge and gun were flashed along with a threat to arrest for assaulting an officer. I watched his fists clench as he left with his brother.
I watched a stranger leave that day. And shuddered at the thought that I slept next to him nightly... someone who was capable of this tirade and threatened my safety so easily.
I was devestated.
