I finally called the police on my children’s father. It was his week to keep the kids and he asked me to keep them an extra day, I told him no (he doesn’t even work, I do) because he had previously asked him literally yesterday because it was my birthday and his reasoning was that he didn’t because he wasn’t gonna watch the kids so I can go out with a guy which I didn’t even do. Anywho I go to his mom’s house to drop them off and he wouldn’t take them after he agreed for me to bring them, he was aggressive and wanted to be argumentative so I left. I tell him just as he told me two weeks “Since you don’t know how to get your children on your scheduled day then I’ll decide when you can get them”. He proceeds to threaten me with a gun and said he was gonna shoot down the door. I called the police and talked to them and showed the messages, I didn’t even think he would come but 20 mins after they left he came banging on the door and I hid me and the kids and called them again. They came and the police asked him if he had a weapon and he said yes like he actually had a gun, I started shaking because how could he? They said to file for custody and a protective order then they let me know that they were taking him for a mental evaluation because of the things he said but I think it was bs. Then they told me to let him say goodbye to the kids and it’ll help with the case saying it would show I wasn’t keeping them away from him. I cried so bad because I didn’t want to face him but I allowed it. I never wanted this to happen, I wanted my kids to have a relationship with their father. The abuse went on for too long and I just feel sick to my stomach, bringing a gun to where your kids are at?!
