Stand up against domestic violence/abuse. I have been fighting for 5 years to get restraining orders/protection orders against my ex husband. Now I need them against more people because the abuse has continued the cycle and has continued to escalate. Typical for ABUSERS!! This has escalated to multiple times a day with psychological abuse, financial and sexual abuse daily. It's daily warfare against me it feels like. One of the things my ex his family taught me was HATRED.
