    i need to get this out

    I need to share this with someone. I don't know what to do now. My husband beat me up here in California on vacation. I am bruised and battered. I cannot move well my back is very sore from where he threw me into a piece of furniture. I wanted to fly home today but that didn't work out and if not be able to sit that long. I just want to be somewhere else. Pause to cry.

    The way you are being treated is NOT acceptable. I'm so sorry that you are going through this. I was going to ask if this is the first time or an ongoing thing and then I realized that either answer should have the same response, you need to protect yourself. I pray that you are able to get some help so you can either get your husband into anger management counselling or some help to get you out of that enviroment.
    I know you said you are on vacation. Perhaps this is the best time to get back home while he isn't there so you can pack up and leave. Do you have somewhere safe to go where you live? I'm sure you don't have alot of time to use the computer with him around right now and if you'd like help looking online for safe houses etc.. in the area you live in, please let me know. Maybe there is a place that accepts animals too.

    I agree with Emeraldgreen. Also, have you reported this to the police? Is there anyone at home, in Calgary, who can help once you get back there?

    Here are some links of some places that you could possibly get into if you decided to go that route. Also, if you weren't ready, they could put you in touch with counselors. Please get help, it's out there for you. I'm praying for your safety.

    ETA: I strongly suggest you press charges while he is in the USA. That will buy you some time to get out and home.

    If he has been hassling you at where you live, have charges been pressed in Canada? If you have filed a restraining order, and he is breaking it, that can result in stronger penalties.

    HE NEEDS TO BE STOPPED AND PUNISHED. CALL THE COPS, HON. NOW


    GAYLE - OMG, after all he did before he left...hon, did you get back together with him?

    Dial 0 for the operator and tell her to connect you with the nearest help. If they have 911, do that too! Let them get help to you!

    What part of CA are you in? There are PTrs there.

    I'll PM them now!

    Report it and press charges here. Then go home and move to a safe house.
    Is there anyone with you to help?
    Is there anyone at home who will help?

    You NEED to do this.

    Are you in a hotel? Can you go to the hospital and have them document the bruises so you will have it recorded after they have healed. And I will pray. It's 8:20 in Chicago, 6:20, supper time in Calif.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Where are you now?? Were you able to get to a safe place away from him? Have you called the cops or alerted the front desk to the fact that he needs to be arrested? Please let us know you are ok as soon as you can.

    Gosh, I wish I lived closer to you, not half a country apart. I'd do my darnedest to get you somewhere safe away from him.

    Is there anyone from PT living anywhere near where she is at?!

    Oh poor Gail! Please get yourself to safety away from this sad excuse for a man! No-one should have to live with abuse like that! PLease let us know you are safe away from him. Call the police, document the damage he has caused to you but first you should get yourself to somewhere safe honey!

    I looked through some of her previous posts with regard to this trip and it said that there was going to be 3 days of hockey games, the last two on Sunday. I would imagine that they are headed back today or last night?
