That God is testing me.

*sigh*. When does it ever end? Leaving tomorrow noon, to drive 18 hrs. to Jacksonville, Fla, to load up my daughter. Her roommate beat the hell out of her. I have to drive straight through, with my EX-WIFE!!!!!!!!!! Get there, and then, do my best not to kill him. Honestly, I'm not real sure how this is gong to work out. Frankly, I'm inclined to kill him. Or at least, shove his face out the back of his head. No matter how this plays out, it isn't going to be good. Pray for me.

I feel like I am about a half inch from flipping my lips and coloring Dora the Explorer with dull crayon stubs.

    If she hasn't had him arrested why not? That way he won't be there when you get there. You know you are not going to be able to be civil with someone who has harmed your daughter.

    good luck try not to focus on the anger as difficult as it will be ,
    the long drive would allow a lot of built up aggression so do you best drive safe and were only hoping the best for you

    Call the cops before you leave.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Exactly, have them there while you do the packing, tell the cops it is to prevent a justifiable homicide.

    Of course if I was a mean and vengeful type of person, which of course I'm not, I would suggest hitting him with a tazer, knocking him unconscious, strip him naked and duck tape him down, while he is down pay a tattoo artist big money to tat the phrase "I beat up little girls" on his forehead, while that is happening use some long lasting pink die and coat him from head to toe. But even suggesting that would just be wrong.

    I cannot for the life of me understand why he would be there in violation of the restraining order your daughter should have slapped upon him.

    I must respectfully advise that calling the police and making what sounds like the threat of murder (whether justified or not) just MIGHT be a really bad idea.
    Letting them know you'd like some support as you extricate your daughter from a bad situation sounds like something they would be eager to do.
    Just my thoughts. Your mileage may vary.

    My thoughts as well. In any case, you DO need to call the police and advise them of the situation. The poster that suggested they be there when you move her out is right on.

    Bruises and black eyes heal pretty quickly, but a restraining Order can follow him around for a very long time. In most instances he can kiss his guns goodbye...Maybe for good if the Order become permanent.

    Calling your daughter and asking her to file a restraining order on the scumbag sounds like the way to go. If she is hesitant to do that having the police there while you move her out would be good. I know that it will be hard to keep your temper as I have the same problem when someone harms one of mine but it may be your best move for now. Let the police handle it for now.

    Dan,

    He does not give us more to carry than we can handle. Remember that. There is a reason you are one of the level headed thoughtful minds here at GB.

    Your daughter will need you to help her, and not make the situation worse, and I know that is what you will do.

    Our prayers are with you.

    Very sorry for your trouble.

    I agree about the cops. If he gets out of jail with a wrist slap, THEN pound him. But I doubt seriously he'll come around while you're there.

    Good luck, and try being civil with the ex. Remember you're both doing this because you love your daughter.

    God bless.

    I'm home. I have a beer. I may have more. I am dead. I drove from Edna, Kansas, To Jacksonville Florida, straight through. Picked up my daughter from a crack hotel in the crappiest part of Jacksonville. She was staying there over night
    1: to get away from the a-hole that beat her
    2:So I wouldn't kill him.

    I was loading her stuff, when this van full of Rastafarian looking punks in a van drives by, just giving me the eye. Made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. That seriously does not happen often.They cruise by real slow, while I grab my exes arm, and tell her to get upstairs, not that it was much better. They drive slowly a few feet down, still staring, turn the vehicle around real slow, and start coming back. By this time, I have my hand in my bag, wrapped around a fully loaded,cocked and locked .45 auto. This is seriously one of the few times in my life, that I said to myself, it's coming. The drive by again real slow, just trying to stare me down, all four of them. Drove down a few feet, and stopped. Sat there a minute or two, and drove away. I wasted no time getting them the hell out of there. Whores sitting in the doorways. Man, what a pisshole.

    Anyway, I drove 33 hours straight that day(s). Ex wiped out physically in Birmingham, Alabama 10 Sat night,coming back, so we got a room. I had intended to drive straight on back, but it didn't work. Had enough coffee in me that I couldn't sleep when I laid down. So I just sat and rested, while they slept.

    Got her back home a little bit ago, she is staying with a friend,not me, as I thought. Likely best, though. She would not file charges. At least I got her out of there. She is also not above lying about her involvement. She does not exercise good judgement, to put it mildly. Some of you here have heard me talk of some of her other escapades. She has seriously put some years in me, but I love her.

    It went Ok. Talked to the ex, just jibber-jabber. When she left, she told me, "I don't know how you did that"

    I told her, "Hell, baby. I'm an iron man. You never really knew me"

    Few other stories, kinda funny for the circumstances, that I may tell later. Fixing to go get another Schlitz, and hit the hay. don'call my cell phone. It will be turned off until late morning.

    Dan... I've been right there where you are going involving my sister and her first husband.

    Do yourself and sister a favor and ask the sheriff to post a deputy to keep order.
    You'll need the guidance... He'll need the protection...
    Your daughter will need the comfort of knowing you aren't going to end up in jail.

    Take care. Our thoughts are with you and yours. Curse the bastage that was your daughters roomie.

    A restraining order is about as good as
    calling the police during a home invasion.
    Neither will help the victim(s) before
    the police get there.
