update: a family friend gifted me with money to fly home last Monday. I filed a personal protection order and was granted and served on Wed, I think. Meaning he had to leave the house. I am now with the kids and found a bulldog of a lawyer on Thursday. He freaked cuz a ppo will remove his right to carry and buy guns and put out a deal: i retract the ppo and I get whatever I want in the divorce and that it will be as civil as possible and he must continue to keep at a distance.

Seems tomorrow (tues) we are getting together with the lawyers to sift thru everything.

I'm just tired of the lies being told about me and perpetrated by his family. Even my neighbors and most mutual friends have put a distance between me and them. Sux, but what can a person do?

The kids are being very wise and are seeing things with eyes wide open. I am thankful!

Your kind thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated and needed!

Hugs to all!
