((hugs)) I am so happy you are safe. Please put your foot down to BOTH those monkeys and tell them that if that episode is ever repeated, EVERYONE is going to jail! Connecticut takes domestic violence very seriously. I would get a restraining order against the BIL and let Gerry tell him NO! you will never come near her again. EVER! If Gerry has a problem with that then perhaps he should be bunking over there. Violence is ALWAYS a deal breaker.

You are a good person and deserve better than that. I am so proud of you for leaving, and so proud that you kept going. Trying to put as much distance between you and them as possible.

PLEASE dont sleep in your van. If you do DONT answer the knock on your window from strangers asking you to take them "just one exit to their broken car" my friend was just robbed at a NC rest area. PLEASE, its worth the $50 for a motel. Be safe.

We are all here to support you and cheerlead you in any situation. Please be safe.
