Question hi, my family went to get our stuff per our court orders and I was pushed and hurt by my husband/ex. the cops said there was nothing they could do because he had a witness saying he did not do it and we had one saying he did. what can I do to pursue charges against him. He has a long history of abuse to other women. thanks.
Answer Hi Angie!
You probably aren't going to like my answer but it comes from experience so trust me on this.
Let it go and get down on your knees and thank God that this creep is out of your life. Some things are just better off let alone.
He isn't going to change, even if the police (finally) do something right. You could spend money and time trying to make him pay for his actions but it will drain energy from you...energy that should be used to heal and go on with a happy life.
The best revenge is to be happy (I'm sure he tried to tell you that nobody would ever have you...yada) so prove him wrong. Be happy, be successful and all the things he told you would never be yours.
I wanted to make my ex pay too but The Universe made him pay in ways that were much more severe than anything I could have ever done. I just had to sit back and watch it happen. But first, I had to remove myself emotionally and physically for it to take place. So, you just stop thinking about him and what he did (I know, it's hard) and focus on yourself and what you want from life. I promise you, it will all come back to kick him in the butt. It could take years but it WILL happen!
Be happy...you were smart enough to make him your ex! That's very important. You could have spent a long, long time trying to make it work. Enjoy the fact that you regained and owned your own power. I'm sure that fact just burned him! Whether he acts like it or not, he's really bothered by the idea of you leaving.
I want to wish you the best that life has to offer. Stay strong and focus on things that will change your life for the better. Good for you for leaving him! You rock!
