Pity I'm not there. I would love to beat his A$$!! |
I'm not sure I believe in the restraining order system myself.. i've heard too many stories of how someone was killed even though there was a restraining order against them...it's just a piece of paper and can only be enforced by calling the law over to the area where the order is being broken.. by then, it could already be too late!
I agree that she needs to take the kids and get herself over to a domestic violence shelter.. stay away from the family and friends and just move her butt as quickly as possible before it is definately too late - you just can't trust someone like that, not even for a minute, any one thing could set him off.
max, do you have an EAP (employee assistance program) at your office? it might be to her advantage to at least give them a call because they'll have some good information that she can definately use. it's a very confidential way to deal with things like this...
