Seeking Guidance: Protecting Myself and a Child from a Threatening Individual


Question
Considering the fact before she attempted suiside she threaten to find and kill me and fight for her man , she has no idea that i'm taking care of her daughter and I am concerned in the fact she will follow thru with actions once she finds out he has "her" daughter in my care.She has violent tendancies... I do love this man and dont believe he will ever let go of this situation of a child he believes belongs to him. I do know I love my self more than I could possible love someone who has hurt so many in the process. Is this a dangerous sitution???

-----Question-----
I have been with a man for 3 months and he has cheated a nd lied to both of us, in the process of her finding out the trueth she attempted suiside and is in the hospital for evaluation , He has raised her daughter for 10 years and has brought her to the home we live in for me to take care of,The ex has no idea and He feels everything is ok. As a woman this is not right to do to another woman or a 12 yr old girl. Should I walk away now??
-----Answer-----
Dear Sheri,
Your right! It is not appropriate for him to bring her to your home. It would be better for her to stay with relatives or any close friends of hers. If she has absolutely no place to go, then the right thing to do is to hold out, take care of her until her mother is in stable condition. You wouldn't want a 12 year old child alone in this type of situation, in which her mother almost died by taking her life. I'm sure the 12 year old girl is feeling like she is not important enough because her mother did not want to be with her anymore (by taking her life). She really needs a good support system right now, whether it be you or other relatives/family/friends. You will feel good for being there for her and she will appreciate it. After this is all said and done with, then you should leave this man. If he cheated and lied, he will always cheat and lie and you will waste many years of your life trying to climb out of his web.
Take care and write back if you need!

Answer
Dear Sheri,
I would not take this lightly! Go to the police and get a report written along with a restraining order. I would stay as far from her as possible and I would make sure her daughter is away from her at the time. If she is talking like this, it would be wise to stay away since she sounds as if she is not in her right mind. She may need to see a professional or get some help through your county. You can call your county town hall, city hall or HR department to get more information.
Take care!
