I hope that you don't mind, otherwise I will remove the link. You sound like a very strong woman and I am glad that you got out of an unhealthy situation with your ex. No woman (or man, even) deserves to be abused by their spouse.

I've taken careful note of all the indtruction you've given to this point and am lining things up. He has no idea that I'm planning to leave, but my mind is made up. My family is going to help, They are just over the state line. It'll all work out fine.

IT'S BECAUSE NO ONE CARES! IF THEY CARED THEN THEY WOULD LISTEN. My church has great flowery sermons, but with NO substance. What you said about all the trouble you've had with dealing with hospital people has been my experience too. NO ONE CARES!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638558641271470163.post-88528769836178263392008-05-08T19:39:00.000-04:002008-05-08T19:39:00.000-04:00Kathryn,You are absolutely right when you said tha...Kathryn,<BR/><BR/>You are absolutely right when you said that most hosptial facilities don't ask a woman privately if they are in a safe environment. I saw this first hand on Tuesday when one of my dsughter's cut her hand while washing dishes. Once information was gathered from her, the nurse asked if she were in a safe environment. I was standing right there. I let that nurse know she should ask that when the woman is ALONE. She told me that they are only required to ask the question. This has got to be changed. I'm very curious to know exactly why the medical community is continually negligent in this area. Are they not aware of the statistics where domestic violence is concerned? I'm sick of all the rhetoric about "we're too busy" and "we're only required to ask". Are they that deficient in thier perception or just lazy!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16373871400583588620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638558641271470163.post-85576388027455394462008-05-08T16:44:00.000-04:002008-05-08T16:44:00.000-04:00Kathryn,Thank you for validating what I've been sa...Kathryn,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for validating what I've been saying for so long. The police and the personal protection orders are virtually NO help! The PPO's aren't worth the paper their printed on. Nothing can be done until after I've been hurt. It doesn't even protect my kids. They are my biggest concern. I'm glad school is almost out since he is usually there when I go to pick them up. Once he even told the principal that he was to pick them up. Thankfully, I had already spoken to her and let her know about the PPO. I think if I hadn't done that she'd have let him take the kids. That's the scariest part of all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
