I stopped blogging about Robin and her domestic situation a long time ago. She was back with him, away from him, back, away, etc.. She was stuck in a nightmare, but until she wanted to leave it, all I could offer was a safe place to stay and an ear to listen.
He beat her, he slapped her, mentally and physically abused her until she was a shell of the person we knew.
He pushed it too far one night and threatened her with a pistol. He had already bruised her up but had to add to that. Abuse always, always escalates.
She left, came to my house, we took pictures, filed a police report. He called, begged, pleaded, hounded and threatened her to come back. That was in September.
Today, we filed an application of a warrant for criminal charges on him to return her personal property. We also filed a small claims suit for only a portion of the money he owes her.
He will be served Wednesday or Thursday.
The straw... the one that broke the camels back?
A 300 bill from Movie Gallery for 13 movies he checked out on January 30th and never returned. It was at that moment that she realized that this would never end unless she went to court and made him accountable for the damages he inflicted.
Way to go Robin.
We filed the papers and couldn't get out of that town quick enough. If he had happened by and seen her, I do not know what the result would be. I would probably be in the county jail. She has not wish for contact or communication with him but me.... I have alot of say to him.
So Robin has her day in court. Even if she is ruled against, she will still have struck back and began to heal.
