You sure you don't want something? Coffee, soda, something?
No thank you, ma'am.
I feel kind of stupid about this whole thing.
Better safe than sorry.
Yeah that's what I thought.
You have a restraining order against your husband?
Ex-husband. Yeah, he'd show up on the wrong day, or in the middle of the night pounding on the door, stuff like that. Thing is. He has this horrendous temper and I just didn't know if a restraining order was a good idea and if it'd do more harm than good. But the judge said we should make an example of him. So he can't come within 100 feet of us. Or is it yards? Which is it? Feet or yards?
That's up to the judge.
Really? I thought it was a set thing.
No, it's at his discretion.
That's interesting.
Does he drink?
Do drugs?
Oh, no.
But he has a propensity for violence?
Yeah, I think you can say that.
Did he strike the little girl?
Well, no.
Did he strike you?
Not exactly.
Not exactly?
You know, there were times when I thought he was going to. But i just didn't want until he got around to it. It's hard to explain. He could, I think.
You think?
