Advice above is better than what I just edited.

Don't try to reason with him, it will get you nowhere (try reasoning with a drunk).

Get a VAR or use the recording app on your phone so you can record conversations (and outbursts!) so he cannot spin the story. Do not try to reason, don't ask for "the truth", he will not tell you.

Being that I found out an hour ago, H was sitting in a parking lot at a truck stop,(I FaceTimed him to see where he was, took 8 times calling before he answered),

I so wished I had gotten the VAR into his truck before today.

I now have worries about "lot lizards".

Which I admitted in a text to him after he hung up on me (bc I was told I was being "accusing again").

Yes, I should've kept quiet. Hard for me bc I'm an avid communicator & have been stonewalled by H for too many years.


SOOO...I have his debit card for groceries. Going tomorrow.

Will get cash back at Walmart to pay cash just for a VAR. Will check what Walmart has,if not, there's an electronics store near there.

This is not the advice we gave you after your last post. We advised that you call the police, get a restraining order and change the locks.

Are you reading our posts?

Thank you.

My wife put all that together - it was the strategy she followed.

Do you want us to tell you when you are not following the plan that works?

You won�t get the law involved because you won�t subject your children to that, yet you will subject your children to this crazy fighting and violent angry outbursts??? I don�t understand this reasoning.
