As friends when we hear this kind of story, it's so hard. I had a friend once who was married to an abusive mean drunk. He was horrid and she was always telling me nasty shit he did. At the same time I got frustrated because she stayed. Finally she got enough gumption to move out Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14782628.post-78956707333873621082007-02-23T18:23:00.000-08:002007-02-23T18:23:00.000-08:00Suisan:Man this stinks.

That's okay, those are natural, I think. <BR/><BR/>The legal system, to me, has never seemed to favor the abused/stalked woman, but rather the abuser/stalker.

It never got physical (well, he once punched past my face and drove a hole into the wall), but it was getting there. And I completely "get" the early stages of this thing. Not a mean drunk early on, but a superbly attentive and protective person.

I'm shocked at the legal systems (both Can and Am) thoughts on domestic disturbances. Isn't that a prettied up way of talking about being beat and threatened?<BR/><BR/>In law class many years ago we watched a documentary on a woman who survived getting stabbed 7 times by her ex-husband who had a restraining order against himCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.com
