This is why DV needs to be taken seriously.
There was a story on my local news this morning about a man who beat his MIL to death with a baseball bat, and also injured his FIL. The man was served the day before with a PPO from his estranged wife, who had recently filed for divorce. The news story said the wife had filed for divorce because of prior "domestic issues".
If anyone is in a situation where DV is an issue, please get out. If not for your own safety, but then for the safety of your children and family members. Please.

Oy, that's awful. I started my volunteering with the children's program of a safe house last night so I can't agree with this post more.
Did you know that statistically, a physically abused woman has a 75% chance of being killed the day their H's are served with divorce papers? My divorce attorney encouraged me to leave the state with my parents the day XH was served for this very reason.
