Hi, well this is a follow on from my thread 'divorce solicitor advice needed'. One because it's become a much bigger topic and two because I have a feeling HE is checking on my internet activity - perhaps with a spyware programme or keylogger or something. Anyway, I don't want him to know my every move so I'm now on a public computer in a play area.
Anyway, meeting with solicitor went well. He is drawing up papers for the injunction and I have to go in tomorrow and sign them and then they will be faxed to the courts. The hearing hopefully will be next week. Problem is, although it's likely I will be granted the injunction, it's unlikely it will take effect immediately so I'm going to have to face him at home before he moves IF it's granted. If it's not, I'm going to have to take the kids and run. I've cited his inappropriate behaviour with my oldest daughter, as well as his looking at porn in front of DD2 in addition to his general nasty behaviour. Like last night, he shouted 'The kids have got effing mouths in their heads...they should use them' because they wanted to come in the kitchen but he was there and they didn't know what to do. I was in the middle of cooking their dinner and he muscled in and started cooking his own, making it impossible for me to feed the kids before 6.45pm! It's just an unbearable situation and I've started the whole waking up and throwing up thing that preceeded us moving into the refuge last time. I can't live like this.
I dialled 999 this morning to check if it still works as he's blocked outgoing calls. It does, so I explained to the operater and he was fine.
Social services, on the other hand, have astounded me yet again. I called the new social worker today to tell him that an injunction is being applied for and he said 'ok, well let me know how it goes then'. I told him how scared I was about H's reaction and he said 'well if he kicks off, call the police'. This was followed by 'good luck'! Chocolate radiator comes to mind!!!
Anyway, I won't be able to update as often as I won't use the PC at home but I'll try and keep you informed.
