After all this time old chickens have returned to the roost. Years ago I left a bad situation. I have worked hard the last 7 years and struggled through adversities that I think would have crippled some people. The last thing I wanted was support from him.
In fact, 3 years ago I requested Medicaid for my kids and did not include myself because I did not want to file for support. Then I went and broke my ankle and needed surgery. Was denied treatment because of lack of insurance and lack of funds and had to file for medical on myself.
Last Friday I received in the mail a very thick packet to fill out. I can't fill it out. I had 25 minutes to evacuate my home after that maniac was taken to the hospital for psychiatric evaluation. 25 minutes to figure out what to take and what to leave while also trying to help two frightened children figure out what to take and what to leave. I was not prepared.
Even now i do not want to do this. My sleep is broken and I am having bad dreams again. I do not want to open this can of worms at all.

Yup that is a doosy! Hope it is healing well.
It seems to be. I still can't put my heel all the way down without going to a lot of effort. It swells mightily throughout the day and I am still needing crutches.
I use a rolling walker when I am home alone and for doing chores like vacuuming or dishes. Standing for too long gets tiring.
Damn! Ouch!!!
Take care of yourself, woman!
mmm yes, Thank You Isis. I am doing my best.

I don't blame you. I hope you're able to situate things so that there is more resolution and empowerment for you and your children.

Tomorrow when the man of the house gets home I will be able to go out and send a fax. The transportation situation is not the best. I can get to appointments on only certain days of the week so I have to reschedule the court date. In addition, I do know that where I live they do have a policy of sorts that if DV was involved they can drop the whole thing.
For my part, I will give up my medical if they drop it. It isn't worth it to give his family a reason to come after me.
