This is exactly what is happening to me. I finally reached a breaking point and left my ex (after he gave me permission to remove the children from the house) knowing if I didn’t I was going to have a break down both physically and emotionally. I thought once I was out the torture would be over. I was sadly very mistaken. My ex continues to harass and threaten me to this day. I have had the local police to my home at which time they out right said he was harassing me. Nothing was done. On another occasion after going to the police station I was told by an older officer that there comes a time when you just have to move on. I am in court where the abuse that I have endured at the hands of my ex (who is an alcoholic with a drug problem) is I assume known to all involved and yet the Judge looks directly at me and says that it doesn’t always work out in our best interests to go to trial and it is always better to try and come to a resolution between the two parents. Essentially the court system further empowers the abuser by doing nothing. It is absolutely unbelievable!
