I told my brother

Well I just got off the phone with my oldest brother. It was extremely hard, but I told him what has been going on. He is furious and ready to kill my x. I dont know if I told yall but I am the baby of 6. I have 5 older brothers spread out all over the U.S. AL, GA, KS, TX, and CA. My oldest brother lives in CA. I asked him not to tell my other brothers. He said that he would give me time to tell them. He wants me to come and stay with him for awhile. I think it is a good idea, but I am having issues with leaving everything behind. I love my job, I love my house, and most of all I finally have a friend, and I am suppose to just leave it all behind. My attorney called and said that bail was set at 100,000. So he will probably be out soon. The hearing is not until next Tuesday, and that is just for RO violation.

Please tell everyone single brother what you have been living through. Please. Not only for you but for your son.

Leaving everything behind and letting go is EXTREMELY hard....but what good will any of that be if you are not alive to enjoy it?

I have a hard time believing that it is just a violation that are going to charge him with....off the top of my head I'm thinking: assault, battery, attempted murder, kidnapping, false imprisonment, obstruction, harrassment, menancing, reckless endangerment, rape, intimidating a victim, criminal contempt....Call the shelter immediately and have them SCREAM at this atty---because they are NOT doing their job.

Van, he said he was going to kill you----believe him.

Dharma, and Blue,

I worded my last post wrong, he has been charged with assault, rape, and false imprisonment. The hearing on Tuesday is for violating the RO. Att wanted that to be addressed first. Im sorry for the confussion.
