So glad you could bring this here Kathy -- seems a lot of good folks have been down the same path and have some really good advice for ya -- stay strong, gal, what you're doing is right for your family, you've earned it, and guess this paperwork is your full time job, at least for now ... hang in there, sounds like it will come right in the end, best of luck and strength !!

Christmas Eve ???? !!! Gosh, good thing you sounded "white-enough" over the phone, or he might still be in there waiting for his hearing :o(((( !!! Musta been a pretty dull nite for those cops -- how's your son taking it? That's the important thing with abuse like that -- the internal damage it does that rankles and burns in the guts .... hope he has enough trust to Let It Out and get on to better things, if he's hurt or brooding about it then these creeps win :o(( ....

with prayers for healing and peace for you all,
sunny
