No. The police did nothing. I’m disabled and have several back injuries. They didn’t arrest him on the spot. The asked me if I wanted to press charges which basically means they would have written him a ticket for damaging my window and another for assault. He would have to appear in court for those. I declined. They all said I should file a Restraining Order, that’s all they could offer.

I feel sorry for abuse victims because police are not very helpful. Later that evening I got a dozen harassing phone calls one where he said he would make me look like that shattered window. He’s always careful about what he says because he’s an experience abuser but he slipped up and got recorded on my VM which is a federal charge. The officer who took the report had the nerve to compliment his good behavior because he hasn’t threatened me in a few weeks.  He didn’t ask me how I was doing. I was the victim.

He calls me about every other week but I can’t have him arrested because he hasn’t been served with Restraining Order paperwork yet. I’m waiting 5 days before the court date to improve my chances of not getting harmed. If I serve him now no telling what he will do.

I’m ready to move on but he such an experienced abuser and liar, I know he’s going to try and finesse the court thing. Wish me luck. I need it.
