Journal nocomment's Journal: back from california 5

Well that wasn't much fun.

He agreed to admit to the police who just hauled him away about 4 hours ago.

The mother-in-law promptly called my wife to see about getting money to help with the cell phone bill (read: she wants my wife to help with bail).

I'm dumbfounded as to why the mother-in-law would stay. She told my wife she was going to stay with him and comfort him. Uhm, yeah, what about comforting your daughter? your granddaughter?

For those who worried about a vigialnte mission needed worry. He wouldn't come out of the house. :-O

For those of you who wondered how you might behave, it might look something like this:

I started by getting good and drunk the night before (I know, but I really needed something to take the edge off). I got to bed at 1am, and fell asleep around 1:30. I then woke up at 4am put on my steel-toed boots and my cousin took me to the airport. I got to Sacramento at around 10:30, got my rental car, and drove the 3-ish hours to Fresno, getting there around 2.

My first stop was his house. He wouldn't come out, so my endurance run in my boots was for nothing. So I just did burn-outs in front of his house. Next day we get a call that he's agreed to admit (whether my burn-outs had any affect I'll never know).

For the record, my wife did get very upset with me for doing that, and made me promise not to do it again.

The next couple days we decided not to think about it much and went to Johns Incredible Pizza (chuck-e-cheese on steroids) went to the park etc...

So now he's hauled off. It's not much consolation though. What's done is done. We're putting restraining orders on both of my wifes parents and with the exception of anything legal won't have to see them ever again.

Hopefully something aweful happens to him in jail.

Thanks for the prayers, I'm sure that's what kept him from coming out of the house. I was in such a rage that I may have actually done something very regretable. I've never thrown up just from being angry before.

good God this has been the worst week of our lives.

  • Prayers are on the way... I am sorry you had to experience this.


  • I didn't have the words to properly respond to your last entry. I still don't, so I will just repeat what others have said by saying that my thoughts are with you and your family.

    I hope that if there are other children in your family, someone checks in on them as well.

    The mother-in-law doesn't want to admit to her culpability in the whole mess. In other words, there were warning signs that she willfully ignored, and at some level she knows it. It'll be the same 20 years from now, so yes, ignore the mother-in-law, she's a waste of skin; tell everyone that they're both dead and get o

    We're praying for you. A long road lies ahead.

  • We're putting restraining orders on both of my wifes parents and with the exception of anything legal won't have to see them ever again.

    Just remember that restraining orders work both ways. You can't see or contact them and they can't see or contact you.

    Hopefully something aweful happens to him in jail.

    Don't worry. It will when people find out what he has done. His kind are the lowest of the low. In jail he will be known as the bitch's bitch. A cellmate has a bitch that he abuses. The bitch has his
