So, "R"... she gets out... charges dropped. The guy who dragged her, choked her, hit her (I've seen the black eye)... is out on bail and confused. Maybe he doesn't remember? Alcohol and drugs can do that... I am not sure what's what there. Police report seems to bear out her story.
She cannot go back where she was assaulted, and is now without a place to crash. There's a congress critter type who says "even if they didn't deserve, it... (regarding rape)", but I'm not going there. IT's just wrong. Period. Come after me with a gun, a knife, large scissors... and I might feel the need to defend myself. But verbal abuse? You've got to be out of your mind. Not for anyone am I going to lose my temper like this fool.
She gets a summons to a court-date for custody of her kids, and no-one bothered to give her a heads-up... and... the court finds her unfit to care for her kids. Which sucks.
So the usual restraining order bull to keep the guy away, and she goes to meetings... comes home and gets wound up (sp?) telling me it's my fault. What?
So, long story short... she gets abusive; I tell her she has to go to her car if she's not going to cool off... and she demands to be allowed to watch a DVD of her choosing. I say "no" unless she calms down... which doesn't get heard, and she gets more and more strident.
I repeat the request to chill, or she goes outside... and she informs me that she's not going anywhere, she's a resident. I call a California licensed therapist, who spent her career placing kids (I think) for the county... and get told that "She" is out of control, (based upon the ranting which therapist can hear in the background)... and tells me to call PET for an intervention.
(That means cops. Again).
"R" gets even more upset, and leaves before police arrive .... and they cannot find her.
Yay. I should have just let her watch tv.
