I know that M&E would understand.. that isn't what I meant.. they would understand.. and no doubt be proud of you for standing up for someone in trouble.. BUT.. just because they would understand and be proud.. wouldn't mean that they wouldn't be upset... afterall.. no child wants to feel that their parent is in danger... and lets face it... you would be... if this guy will hit a woman... there is no telling what he is capable of...

I know that you will use caution... not only for your sake.. but for "D's" sake too... you have given her every possible out that you can... it is up to her to make the move.. you can't do it for her... all you can do is extend your hand of friendship.. and hope and pray that she reaches for you...

Hugs..
