So, I'm evicted...

[Deleted]

...with a 3 day grace period, which is highly unreasonable and cruel, but I had no intention of staying there any longer, anyway. I was already scared of him (my friend's husband), but I soon became terrified.

I made a comment that was never meant to be taken literally, I was only expressing my fear and anger and frustration. I'm not saying what I did is justified, but it was certainly taken far out of context and far too literally that he actually intended to physically attack me. This went down at the bar last night, and he actually wanted to hunt me down and hit me.

Anyway, I'm staying with a friend for a couple of days, and will be retrieving the rest of my things ASAP. I'm trying to figure out where to go from here, because I really don't have any local options.

Glad you are heading towards a safer place. Your situation was untenable and I am glad that you were able to move on without injury.

Use it to your advantage dear, time to fly.

Hang in there.

So, I’ve de-stressed a bit since moving out, saw Star Wars (which was awesome), and talked my friend Debbie’s ear off about writing, philosophy, and so on. I haven’t really been able to have a decent conversation with anyone for months. Today was good.

Crazy shit went down, and it was partially my fault for being a bit too vocal on Facebook again. I was living in a very toxic and gross environment, and I saw my friend’s husband slap her daughter three times since I’ve been there. That’s uncalled for behaviour, and no matter what Texas law states, slapping an 11 year old in the face is abuse, not discipline.

I will be reporting them to CPS soon. That girl is an amazing creature, and she doesn’t deserve to grow up around that. She may not have had physical bruising, but she will have emotional scars; and those last a lifetime. I wish I could take her away, myself, and be a proper mother to her. It’s shit like that that makes me more misandrist than I should be, because I know not all men are like that.

Please, if you believe in the power of prayer (focused intent, if you will), pray for this girl. She needs all of it. Her name is Sophie.

Illuminess, I wish you and Sophie the best. I hope everything works out well for you.

Just read this, you made the right decisions and handled yourself well. The darling child Sophie doesn't deserve that kind of treatment, follow through with a call to CPS, they may take anonymous phone complaints given the nature of the problem and any concerns you may have about retribution. You may be saving this child's life as the father may be unstable.
