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.
