Hello I just received a Permanent Protective Order. I on one hand feel like a huge weight has been lifted, but I also am very scared. This is final it never expires he will never be able to see me or the children again. He was a deputy sheriff for 14 yrs. I couldn't get anyone to help me because he was the a deputy he tried to make everyone think I was crazy. I left home 7 times but because I had been in a hospital when I was 18 because I am also an incest survivor he would tell them (the law) to help him find my wife she is suicidal and needs help he put me in 7 different hospitals until I finally took my car and my kids while he was out of town and drove until my car quit about 12 states later. I finally found help and he was charged with cruelty to children and felony assault, he lost his job as a Deputy and this final order says he can NEVER see his kids again I feel very empowered by this but I also am scared to death I need to get a divorce and it should be easy now. I just wish I wasn't so scared anyone share my feelings or have any advice please. Thank you 4my3kids
