I have long since gotten rid of the SOB but one year it was his birthday, we were living paycheck to paycheck & unfortunately I really had nothing to eat (other than cereal) but one of those “Pasta Roni” box dinners since I couldn’t afford to go shopping until pay day which was Friday & this was a Tuesday. Before I could EXPLAIN that I’d take him out that Friday he grabbed me by both arms & pushed me real hard against a wall & called me a beyotch.

Like I said I hope I never see him again & it wasn’t the only time but he never hit me with closed fists. It was always pillows, remote controls or he’d throw objects at me. Was this abuse. Could I have sent the SOB to jail? Damn I wish I had! I also later found he was smoking crack & before I left I threatened to tell his ex wife so he’d never see his kids again. I wish I had done that too. I also once heard him tell his 5 y/o son to “shut up b4 he broke his arm”. Doesn’t that sound like child abuse? I guess I should consider myself lucky I am OUt of that situation but I feel guilty for not doing more: like getting those kids from him but i didn’t think it was my business…or was it?

make that 2 questions & sorry for the Length
