Wow I had just forgotten about this site completely. I guess it did what it needed and got the emotions out on that day. Well as you can tell it is now August and the answer is YES, Yes I left him but it took me getting pregnant before I realized just what had to happen. During the months of December, January and February he started to hit, a new turn is out relationship. I took a pregnancy test on February 26 at that time I was about 5 weeks along. I did go back twice, once for his oldest daughter’s birthday party I bought the cake and the second because we had talked about getting back together for the baby. As always that was also a lie. When I went to the house the next day there was another woman there and when I went into the house he grabbed me by the throat and threw me out of the house. My son was in the car a witness the whole thing. At that time he called the police and they arrested him a couple of days later for family violence. He got out with in about 4 hours but they put a protective order in place right then and there. This order is good for 2 years. He was picked up on a speeding ticket and put back in jail, at that time is probation officer revoked his probation and he has been in jail since about mid April with no bond. The DA called me in August to appear in court and at the last minute the date was changed and there was a plea put on the table. The plea is for 5 year eligible for parole in a 3rd of the time. If I keep up with the parole board I might make that last a little longer. He has had no interest in this child since conception, he clams it’s not his. Even his friends have told him how stupid he was.
I have met a wonderful guy that has known from the start that I was pregnant and he is great with it. The only draw back is he lives 3 hours away and travels a lot. I wouldn’t trade him in for the world. I forgot what it was like being with someone that cared.
Emily Rose is due in October and I am very happy that she is coming into my life. I will always have a constant reminder of Richard but the madness is gone and the pain is gone. My son and I are safe once more and we are so happy.
In another one of lives turns I am also in the process of getting legal custody of my niece. She is 12 years old and has not had the best life. My sister was a wonderful mom but has gotten lost over the last couple of years and my niece asked to come live with me.
