Brandi

[Lindsey]

Please pray for my cousin Brandi. She means so much to me. Her ex (father of two babies) came into the city with her and we just saw each other tonight for the first time in over 2 years. We went out for a few drinks while her dad and his gf watched the kids (the ex had to go out and gamble) and just before we left the bar he was texting her, calling her a terrible mother for leaving her kids alone and really just ripping into her. She said it was all okay. About a half hour after I got home she called and said he was pushing her around and calling her names and grabbed her by the hair and smashed his face into hers. I said I'd be right over. I just left the hotel. He pretended to be asleep the whole time. It's 5 am and I need to get up in 3 hours for a hair appointment for the wedding tomorrow. Her kids are still crying and screaming so she won't be getting any sleep. I hate him.

I'm sorry this happened to your cousin! Were the police called? Domestic violence cannot be tolerated, it sounds as though those kids were really traumatized by what their mother was subjected to!

[Janet]

Dobie is right Lindsey. She needs to call the police and Lindsey...take pictures of her and date them. If she doesn't want to do anything about it now...at least there will be evidence for her to use when she does do something about it.

Please talk her into getting out of that relationship. There is no reason this should be tolerated...this is not love.

She ended the relationship a long long time ago. They still get along and he came to help her with the kids and he told he he could watch them while she was out with me and doing other family things, so she wouldn't have to worry about finding a babysitter. Anyway, apparently he was drunk last night and all of a sudden got really jealous that she was out with me and she was a "stuck up b*tch" for not inviting him along. And he said things like she's just out there flirting with guys and being a "drunk mother" while her babies are at the hotel without her, etc etc etc.
This morning she is acting like nothing happened.

I'm sorry for your cousin that this happened. I'm more sorry for the kids involved for they are the innocent. She really needs to put the kids first and get rid of this piece of crap. Anyone that would do that in front of their kids is not a father. I"m sure it was not the first time. Elaine

It sounds like she was already smart enough to get away from this guy. Now she needs to remember that the next time he offers to help her out with the kids or anything else. This guy's a jerk!!!
