(60,161 posts)but in this day and age,cops are supposed to respond to demestic violence by separating the couple, at a minimum.
then again, the way police have regressed these days...
Keep calling if need be.....and keep track of when you call and how long the cops took to show up and what they did.
a journal.( get badge numbers and names if you can)
because one of these days if the inevitable happens, and the ass covering starts, you will have something to share with the victim's family, and their lawyer.
the one salient fact I have learned from years and years of Mental Health work...document document document.
Who, what, where, when and how often. times and dates.
remember, if there is domestic violence, even if the kids are not physically attacked, they have a strong chance of growing up to be abusers or victims of abuse.
