...See more This past Sunday my spouse physically threw me out the house, on the concrete. I am still in pain. He then proceeded to get a can of gasoline and threatened to set me on fire. I am still processing...but really don't have time, because he is in jail and I am trying to get a restraining order. The system is terribly frustrating and unfriendly. I do not understand why one would have to actually cross-examine their abuser to get an order of protection. I can't find a proper lawyer. I saw him at bond hearing.. and he is very angry. I am scared he will kill me when he gets out. I feel like people might think I am exaggerating the situation.. but there are holes all in the walls all over the house, everything has been broken.. I feel like I am in a war zone. I get up and go to work every day since it happened, but I can't concenrate. I have no family.. except my children. They are too young to provide support, and I want them to be supported. They are currently with a relative and in a safe space. I am trying... I am trying to smile and not cry... I am trying to act normal... but I am scared to death... I can't believe I am in this situation... I don't even know this man...and we've been married for 10 years. There is sooo much to do... I can't even fathome it all.. I don't have the energy for it all... I can't believe I let it get to this point. I feel like I did this to myself.. Everytime I would leave... he would show up... and then it would start all over again... money lost on broken leases... etc... These last 6 months... it has been so much worse... until this thing with the gas can... and he took down all of the fire detectors ... i feel like it may have been preplanned...and I am lucky to be alive now.. not sure if I will get another chance... if somehting else goes wrong. Thanks for letting me tell my story.
