Just Float!

It occurred to me today while I was getting dressed this morning that things in this separation and divorce seem to be consistently falling my way.

We all start to react to the stress of having him scream and yell at us and having to virtually live in our "safe room". At that point he threatens to take the kids out of the country - BINGO! Big reason to get him away from us with an Order of Protection.

I worry that he'll somehow convince them that he is normal and BINGO he gets arrested for violating the order, he violates it again while in jail by calling our son on the phone from jail, all the cops say he sounds psychotic to them and he ends up in a hospital psyche ward. He lets himself out after five days.

I worry that he'll say everything is okay that he understands not to take the kids and that the court will let him back into the house even if it keeps the order. Next thing I know he is acting bi-polar/manic in spades and BINGO a day later he gets in a car accident from driving erratically, and ends up in the psyche ward again.


Now is the point where I start worrying again but it seems to me someone is looking out for me and the kids and protecting us. Something is telling me that maybe I should just keep doing what I am doing - being honest and taking care of the kids - and the rest will take care of itself.
