Wifey, I really feel for you. My ex was abusive but not physcially. You MUST continue to finally get him off your back and start a new life. Giving in to keep the peace means you will never find peace.

Persevere NOW, don't give up, get RID of him. Enlist the help of two other strong-minded people who will help you.

He needs to get the message loud and clear that he can't keep coming back into your life so that he starts building a new life for himself elsewhere too. While you allow him involvement to 'keep the peace', he will not go away.

Do not put yourself in danger while doing so and keep calling the police and whoever else you need. Remember the saying "The squeaky wheel gets the oil.' You be the squeakiest wheel the police have ever heard! Keep on ringing them and going to them. That way they will want him out of your life as much as you do - to get some peace themselves!

Keep going, you're doing well.

Godo luck and keep asking people for support here.
