Never in my life did I ever think that my dad could make me fear for my life. After 2 years 100% sober he relapsed Saturday and tried to assualt me. Monday evening he was completely drunk and managed to assault me, my husband, and my mom. He also busted out several windows on my truck and rear ended my sister's car. My dad has old gang ties and a history of violent crimes. Yet even though he went to jail Monday night he was released in bail. All this after making threats against my life. I got the call he was released and my anxiety has completely skyrocketed. My husband and i have made arrangements to find somewhere else to stay for the next few weeks. Even with the protection order I'm afraid my mine and my daughters sake.
@theinkedmommy. That's a good option. We know a place in Denver that sells them really cheap and good quality
@theinkedmommy. We have thought about it but we don't feel confident in owning a gun because my FIL passed away by playing with a gun. It's a personal choice even though we know the dangers and how to handle a weapon.
@2016stacys, That’s great! I carry my pistol when I’m alone and shopping with my daughter, otherwise it stays on top our fridge at home. But a taser or pepper spray are other good options that are effective.
