I left my violent wife nearly 3 years ago. I tried to be smart about it and sought psychology help and legal help before making the decision to leave wherein I knew that all hell would break loose. Despite the best efforts of the professional assistance I sought, we all underestimated just how reactive my now ex would become.

We have two young boys and of course they ended up in her primary custody. Child Safety and Family Assist have been involved multiple times due to her abuse of the children. I am about to launch interim orders at Family Court and will be self represented. For my children’s sake, I hope I am successful. I have a wonderful new partner who is a health care professional who has provided amazing assistance and support. If I am successful, I would be only too happy to help other men in the same situation.
