Are You Trapped in an Unhappy Marriage Because You Believe That You Can’t Afford to Leave?”
Needless to say, it was a L-O-N-G weekend for me. Being how he was out on parole, my next step was to contact his parole officer first thing Monday morning. Nieve as I was, I thought that was going to be an "easy solution". I'll be out of this situation in no time, right?... WRONG!
Monday morning comes and I call down at probation and parole. Eventually, I get his parole officer's name and extention and have to leave a message. My message? "Hello, this is xxx xxxx. I'm calling in reference to yyy yyyy and I understand you're his parole officer. yyy yyyy beat the hell out of me this weekend and where I did call the sheriff's office to have him removed from my home, he apparently managed to get his name on my lease w/o my knowledge or permission & they refused to make him leave and they didn't want to take him with them either, so I was wondering what YOU can do about him. I have 2 children in the home, he won't leave and I'm in fear for our safety. Please call me at (work number) at your earliest convenience. Thank you". I called several more times that day hoping that I would get a live person, but no luck and no call back. For the next few days at work, I basically got paid for calling probation and parole.
Then.. it happened.. I called and got a real live human being! I introduced myself and tried to explain the situation. He interrupts and asks me "mam, how are you related to Mr. yyy yyyy?". I said " well, I'm the mother of his first born, does that count for anything?". He says "I'm sorry, but I can only discuss his case with family members". I try to explain that I don't want to know anything about "his case", I just want to know how to get him out of my house and away from me & my children. He tells me he doesn't have his file yet since he's a new parolee, so he'll look into it as soon as he can & hangs up!
His audacity left me dumbstruck!
It was time to confide in someone. For some reason though, the last thing an abused woman (or man) wants to do is tell someone. I don't know why. I knew that it wasn't my "fault", and if you're being abused by someone - that's a VERY important thing to know. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!

That right there is BULLSHIT!!! You need to call his supervisor and report his dumb civil servant ass...In addition, if the MF'er put his hands on you then the Po Po should have taken his azz out of there...I hate that you have to go through this shit, but the first step is admitting to yourself that he ain't going to stop so you have to stop him (legally that is)...get a restraining order to start and see how that goes...i'll be checking on you.
