Hi Onlyrenting:

He's going to push every button he possibly can, now that reality is setting in.  He really, up until now, has not believed you would leave him.  He is coming to realize that you are actually going to do that.

The fireworks are starting.


Is it time to call the police and tell them your plans and ask for their assistance and an escort?  One little phone call?  They will know whether or not you can just leave with your daughter.  My guess is that you can.  No one has custody yet.  Establish custody asap but first.....have phyical custody.  Ask the police if this is how it works?  They enforce the law and must be aware of it.

I get this note from my H, the Corp office called here and how he
" told his brother to fly me out to Dallas for the Interview" ????

I dont know more about this little comment, not sure if this his is attempt to show how much he cares ???


This little comment is another attempt to try to make you think he cares.
If he cared, he'd want you to be happy and your daughter too, and be letting you go calmly, easily, without all of this mixed crap message junk. Without telling you where to live and who will and will not be removed from school.  Without trying to confuse you and control you.  He only cares about himself, is my bet.

Onlyrenting: Stay the course.  Focus.  Get information, but stay focused on what you want.
Can you call a woman's shelter for advice? I bet they have some.  Or legal aid?  

Two thoughts on calling the cops:  
If you have involved them before,to report your husband, they now have a paper trail...which will work to your advantage.
However, I'm not sure they will know what to do about you going somewhere with your daughter..it's not like you are divorced and have a custody dispute (in which case, you're leaving with her would bring you big trouble).
Having been in a relocation nightmare (post divorce) I honestly think it might be better to shoot first and ask questions later.... you are not kidnapping your own child from a custodial ex...you are saving her.

Documentation IS your best bet if he balks and tries some legal stuff....
and then you have evidence of your very real fear for your safety....I can't remember, but does someone else know about this (besides the BIL?)

Don't cave in to his brainwashing of your daughter.  You KNOW she cannot be left with him.  Whenever I felt sorry for my ex, I would snap a rubber band I put on my wrist....that reminded me of all the CRAP so I could refocus.  Your daughter needs you to be strong for her, even if she says otherwise right now.  You are not telling her to hate her dad, you are simply moving forward in your life, which will be to her advantage as well!

He is trying to scare you, that is certain.  Rememer, to defeat fear: go ahead and acknowledge the fear, just DON'T do what it tells you to.

Onlyrenting1, I agree with the others.  Stay on the course you decided when in a rational state of mind.  Don't get distracted by emotional reactions one way or another.  Feel them, just don't change your mind based on them.  You have demonstrated here that you are very capable of making good decisions that you can follow through on.  If you are starting to doubt or change your mind ask yourself whether you are doing so because of something your H said or did.  If so, then he is influencing the decision.  You are the only one who should be in control of your decisions and actions.  Definitely not him.

I don't know divorce law, but I do know something about civil law. Possession is nine tenths of the law. Not to make your daughter sound like property, but if you have her in Dallas and you didn't violate any laws getting her there you're already five steps ahead of him.

Only:

Just stay the course and keep your focus.  If the narc cared about your daughter at all he would have treated you differently and her welfare would have been paramount.  It is all about him.  It will always be about him.  Make him work at custody.  Make him prove it all.  Whenever you get to D, the distance will make it harder.  Much love, Patz

Onlyrenting1,
I've been away from the board for a while and tried to absorb the last several pages of posts. Just want to say I am behind you 110% in making your transition within in the next few weeks. I have been amazed and inspired by your journey which involves soul-searching, clarity, character, integrity and a whole lota' hard work. Please PM me anytime. Of course, I'll try to keep track on the board from time to time, too.

Best,

All of you are so wonderful to my plight, I feel so much stronger with all the support from everyone. So much to think about.
You all  having your keen insights is so lucky for me. WOW.

Today, I started out with some pressure, I wanted to leave even sooner.
I have not lost my focus, only waiting for the right moment.

1. I talked to my BIL, no doubt he is feeling torn. He is able to see whats going on and admitted he reconizes the N in my H.

My H is calling me all kinds of names and telling me he will block me from taking her. Im not fit to care for her and they get along fine when Im not around. ON and ON.  I asked him to stop talking but he won't.

My D wants to go to school, she is feeling better, I get this gut feeling to run now, as it will only get more difficult.

I put him off guard I think.
My Father had called about their trip here in April and would be asking us to spend some time with them. I told my H we were planning on visiting the step-grand kids when they come out. He backed off.

I think he will want it to be all about him no matter what.
He was talking about how he will need money to stay here and for me to plan on helping him if Im staying this month.  (no clue) I made it sound like sure what ever.

This makes me want to split now, while I have the chance.
My D is sick and has her Star testing tomorrow, it may not be right until Friday.

Mudpup you are one funny guy. thanks for the humor.

Longtire : My H thinks he is in control, but its funny because he is so out of sink, once you feed him what he wants he goes away.

Other people are not always understanding of why I should be in control.
I have documentaion to back me up. But to here him and not knowing him you would wonder about his claims of being the sane one.

I was watching the news about the BTK serial killer.
The people that knew him all had something different to say.
The priest said he was a great guy
the neighbor said he was a Jeckel and Hide.

I  know this is what we all want but using the child as a pawn lets you know the law can take this away and it is very scary.

I still have the card for the officer that took the report when my H talked about the gun and shooting me if I went to dallas, I will call him.
I had explaind about us wanting to move and how my H said we were not to go. I will let him know my plans and his advise.

My thoughts on this today, was a plan to get me gone, have me fly out for an interview. this is how unaware he is. I already flew out in November. He asked his brother to fly me again? I know he doesn't understand the way the job interviews are working and he will only understand what he wants to here.

His indecisions in my life are causing a problem for me right now. I feel like all of our  well made plans are thrown out the window.  Having the pressure on us all because he is being a Big N. Jerk!

He will be all alone, his Mom is pist, his brother is pist, his daughter, his wife, and now even the dog is going to be felling the mass of destruction he is leaving behind.

Im tired of talking about this fool. Im going to get some rest. I may find my computer will be packed away so will get intouch maybe a few more times before I get to another computer to tell you anymore.

Hey, Only: still with you!  Get some rest.  Sending you strength.  
I had a thought: your H is medicated, no?  If so, can you put any stock in anything he says from one moment to the next? (it seems so changeable, I thought perhaps it's the drugs talking!)  This may be a giant "duh" for you, if so, have a laugh on me.........just thought I'd put it out there.  And if it is drugs...do you have documentation on everything he is/has been on?  Might come in handy.
Calling that police officer sounds like a good idea.  
Keep on.

Mum,

He has been on morphine and a list of others.
I have a print out showing about the last 10 refills and 7 or 8 different types of meds.

He had taken too much of a drug about 2 yrs ago and they put him in for observation at the Mental place. they let him out the next day. found he mixed the meds, found himself wondering the street half naked.

I know a lot of this is the pain and drugs. this is always the first reasons in the past for my patients with it all. We all know its more than drugs, but being an N is less understandable to most. I do plan on using the Med Card as the problem. Strangers would understand better.

I have missed you, but think about you and all your wonderful support.
WOW, I convey all of the above?? That is wild. these are very impressive thoughts to my confidence.

I wish my H knew what he had for so long. He had his chance.
Too bad he can only see himself and all his wonder, must move on, to share myself with the rest of the world now.

Im thinking of a plan for Saturday. I think I will act like I want to go with my D shopping,  My H, He always leaves if we decide to go somewhere.

Get things cleaned up around the house early. get my H off guard. somehow work it out with my D to go somewhere with a friend.
let her have some fun with her friend.

Both are gone, get the truck packed with help, pick up my D were gone.
Getting my H to be gone long enough will be only a guess. If he doesnt leave when we go do our shopping it will be a surprize. Im thinking of something to make him want to stay away for awhile.

Say we're going shopping and lunch, he tries to do bigger better.
Will be thinking. Playing it cool for now...onlyrenting

Only:

We all realize that you may have only a few days left to post, just hook up the PC as soon as possible when you get to D.  

Please contact that officer.  I think when you and your daugher are trying to actually, physically leave there might be a melt down.  Since he has a gun this is a very big worry.  Please emphasize this to the police.  

He is just trying to make it as difficult as possible with all the pressure about your daughter.  Just document everything that is going on, especially the dates that things happen.  Maybe he won't have the energy to pursue the notion of custody with you being in D.  It does take a certain amount of energy each day for  him to fight the pain and take his medication to stay somewhat in reality.  With you in D, and him having to manage his health it might be just to much for him to do.  We will pray for this.  My heart is in my throat as you plan to get out.  Much love Patz

Patz,

I will be calling a friend to help with getting D out of the house. Her daughter and mine are friends.

Maybe Friday take her some where after school.  Today I will go to work and leave for a while mid day to run around, go to the post office, Drs, school about the transfer papers.

My D is planning on going to school she had been sick with a cough.

Friday after I get off work I can meet them make be sure she is with me.
Maybe have her spend the night somewhere, Saturday I call the police if I can't get him to leave while I pack. have neighbors help me.
my D is spending the night not knowing whats going on.

Im working on it, not quite gelled yet.

I second the notion of calling this guy. And if he is not helpful, please keep trying until you get help.  The local battered women's shelter might be helpful-- they will know of officers who can protect you and/or will have other ideas for who should be there.  THey might even send someone to  help you.

I'm worried about this guy freaking out.  PLEASE have an army of people there when you leave.   Promise?

Hang in there.  In a year you will look back with happiness that you did this and shock that you were ever in such a bad situation.
