NO DIVORCE LAWYERS ON WEEKENDS!?!!


GavinsMommy wrote: i can't talk about it, but he is back to throwing things.

he asked me to sleep in bed with him last night so he put gavin in the bed and i got in too...went to sleep.

then he kept asking me to get OUT of the bed and when i said no, that i was tired too he started throwing things and said that "we were about to have a really bad day". he made gavin cry bc he was yelling so loud and he ripped the clock out of the wall and threw it, slammed other things around.

i tried to get the officer that was here before but he isn't on duty and i have no idea what apt number he is in.

the lady in the office said divorce lawyers usually aren't open on weekends. is that true??? i don't want to wait!!!

could i just get a notarized letter (if he agrees) so that i'm safe taking gavin away for a long period of time???

please help! he's asleep right now, i want to GO!

moped replied: If you really want to I would just call the police station even or go thru the yeloow pages and call people - there is usually an emergency number you can reach them.

I really want your situation to get better for you on way or another...........please be careful and careful with Gavin.......

Sorry

JessC replied: Oh hun that sounds just awful.
YOU NEED... to get out of you dont feel comfy in this relationship... dont wait around or he is going to think its OK to throw things, you need to tell him how you feel and how you want to protect gavin.
KIDS are very important when things come up like this... I know he would probley would never hurt him.. but you dont want to tempt it. I hope things get better for you too... I would leave if I wasnt wanting to be there, but it is for your own safety, I feel sorry that you have to put up with this stuff, IF you need anything at all im on messenger and yahoo if you wanna talk I think I added you? unsure.gif not sure.
Keep safe!
Is their anywhere you could go for the night with gavin?

((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))

GavinsMommy replied: gavin has to get his 4 month shots monday so i can't leave before then. after the appt i planned on going to my moms in sc...there is nowhere else to go though. unsure.gif

JessC replied: Well... Do you have any like friends like around their? Just until Monday?

mom21kid2dogs replied: Call the domestic violence hotline NOW and get the info you need regarding yourself and Gavin. They have all the info you need and can provide you safe shelter. You don't need an attorney (most are not in for clients on the weekends without prior appt) you need a person who specializes in domestic violence.

gr33n3y3z replied: Call the cops and they can get an order from the judge to keep him away from you. CALL the police first and do a report you need a paper trail and if you have 1 already the 2nd will be much more help in your case.
But you have to sign against him ok
Then you will be given a court date to apear in court so the judge can hear you out.
But just bc you get a order that wont protect you
And since you have no place to go the judge may let you take Gavin out of state to your parents house.

Kristigirl replied: I just called and left a message...please call me back.

taylor&zachsmom replied: Oh wow.. I haven't been in here for a week or so. I am sorry to hear that things aren't going well. Where I live there is something called CAPSA (Citizens against physical sexual abuse) they help you get away from people (spouses/ so's) that have or might abuse you in any way. If you feel threatend by any way look in your yellow pages for a abuse shelter. They can refer you to someone that can help you out.

Keep us posted. I hope that things get better.

Jamison'smama replied: Hey, so sorry you are going through this. I know this is nothing new to you but it sounds like you were really hoping he had changed. Without intervention (and rarely even with intervention) things don't change. You go through the honeymoon stage again and then back to where you started. You know this can get way worse before it gets better.

The National Domestic Violence Hotline 1800-799-7233 or www.ndvh.org can help--they can at least be there to brainstorm ideas, support you or just listen--they can also direct you to your local domestic violence organizations who can provide more local support.

If you ever want more information about domestic violence, book suggestions etc. just PM me anytime (anyone can for that matter) this is what I did for a living pre-Jamison.

I am so so sorry--

bwalkerletters replied: Sorry to hear about all of this Lauren.........hope your situation gets better! Do what you have to do to keep yourself and Gavin safe. Neither of you should have to go through any of that.

amymom replied: Stay safe!

mammag replied: Lauren, I haven't been on and just saw this. Just wanted to let you know I'm praying for you and Gavin and have you in my thoughts. Take care!! grouphug.gif

Boys r us replied: Lauren, you need to just leave, it's not going to matter if Gavin misses his 4 mnth apt..the shots can wait a week until you can reschedule!!! You're his mommy and he needs you to protect him..at all costs!

My2Beauties replied: I'm with Nichole I just now saw this, I hope you got outta there!

jcc64 replied: I'm sorry for you and Gavin. It sounds like a horrible way to live, always waiting for the other shoe to drop. I hope you find a way out, there always is one, it just isn't so obvious sometimes.

boocoomomma replied: OMG, I just read this, and began to have flashbacks. I can only speak from experience, but once this kind of behavior starts, it gets worse. After 5 years of an emotional, mental, and physically abusive marriage, I got out. DD remembers the bad stuff, but ds doesn't. I just packed the kids up, called my mom, and left. Never went back either. He would have wound up killing me. It is still bad, but now at least we are safe. Think carefully about what kind of environment Gavin will be growing up in. I know from my past how hard it is, but you must keep yourself and the baby SAFE!!! That is the #1 priority. Praying for you and the baby.

3xsthefun replied: Lauren,

I'm sorry you are going through all of this. It really sounds like it would best for you and Gavin to leave. You need to keep Gavin and yourself safe!
