I've had enough of this. My wife has an ex husband who is a complete nutcase. Everything started off fine, he paid my wife $400/month child support, and got his daughter every other weekend, and every Wed. Well, over time he quit sending money, he'd sign her daughter up for shit like swim lessons, then come back and say "Well it cost this much for this, so you wont be getting anything this month. They had liberal rights set up after the divorce, that is terms on which both parties can agree on. Well, the guy slowly starts finding ways to get his daughter more, almost 5 nights/wk. I kept telling my wife to put a stop to it, but she just didnt want to cause problems b/ of the kid. Then her 7 yr old started coming home w/ bruises on her. They'd mostly be on her ass, but almost lacerations and bruises so bad she couldnt sit down. He would do this because he didnt think she ate her food fast enough, nothing more. Then, it got to the point where he started insulting my wife via phone conversations, coming over here when I was at work and harassing her and calling her a bitch. Well, the last time she came home, I saw the bruises and said enough is enough. We called the sherriff's dept, and contacted DSS. Now he's fucked! So we are sitting here waiting on a court date. In the meantime, he goes down to DSS office, and they dont tell him what he wants to hear, and shows his ass so bad he gets thrown out and almost arrested. Then, after being told not to come near here, what does he do? Drives over here and bangs on my door, AGAIN when I'm not home, fucking coward!! My wife was terrified to answer the door and my step daughter was curled up in a corner hiding saying "please God, dont make me go back there, please God, dont make my daddy do this" I've stayed cool about everything, I have not threatened him, I have not contacted him, I've dealt with it all legally. I'm having a restraining order put on his ass today. If this guy comes back over here he's leaving in one of two ways, handcuffs or a stretcher, I'll let him decide.
