Court today

scout426

After more than two weeks of constant phone calls to the police/lawyers/and the courthouse a judge ruled that my husband needed way more help than I was even trying to get him (I wanted a 72 hour hold and order of protection).  They gave him a mandatory 30 day mental evaluation in a locked hospital.  The soonest he can go back in front of the judge is in 30 days.  Now I have to make some big decisions.  I can't afford our life without his paycheck so I need to make some changes.  My therapist keeps telling me that he may get better eventually but to plan for the worse.  Not sure what my plans are but with a ton of therapy and some sound decisions it will all work out.  I feel the largest burden lifted off my shoulders now knowing he can't hurt anyone, including us.  It might have all been baby steps today in the grand scheme of things but it feels like I just ran a marathon.
