My husband became aggressive about a year ago and it has gotten worse. I have had bruises, and have been verbally abused. He flipped me out of a chair two days ago and I grabbed my kids and went to my parent’s. He is aware of where we are. He has texted, but has not attempted to see me or the kids.
