My stbx both physically and emotionally abused me for 15 yrs. I finally stood up to him one night in aug., sick with pnuemonia. He put his hands around my throat. I got him off me and picked up a baseball bat to protect myself (Im 5' he's 6'2). Know who went to jail that nite? ME. I never hit him with the bat, I used it to keep him away from me. Oh and did I mention that he was taking pics the whole time? I go to trial 2/8 for domestic abuse. Doesn't matter that his stories don't match between what he told the prosecutor and what he told the police.
My kids visit him twice a week due to his raging alcoholism. He actually has the audacity to ask for joint custody.
We owned a business that I have no access to funds, I'm living with my mother. Why should I have to prove that everything with my name on it is half mine? He should just cough up the half and get it over with. He also really has no interest in our kids, he's just fighting me for custody to hurt me.
There are days that the tears just come. This marriage was over a long time ago. Why am I still crying? And why are the Michigan divorce laws so unfair?
