A small celebration...

I went to the court today and I got the temporary restraining order. What a long and grueling process! There was a domestic violence clinic there and they were so helpful and wonderful... I couldn't have done it without them. It was painful trying to remember the details of some of the incidents and having to actually say them out loud. What still hurts me the most is how much hope I had after he promised to get help and how disappointing it was. It was so hard to trust him and the therapist so much and have them turn against me. I think I cry every 30 minutes to 2 hours. These days are so hard.

Thank you to all of you for your support!
