I am writing from experience. I was with a Muslim man who treated my son and I like dirt. I left and he still harrasses me all the time. look in your local phone book and start calling around. I work in an attorney's office. Get a restraning order or a pfa or whatever North Carolina allows. Their are state programs that can help you. I left mine and traveled 3000 miles away and came home with my 6 suitcases. That was all I had. But now three months later I could not be happier. I had to totally start over again. Get rid of him. If when your daughter starts dating is this the kind of man you want her to marry? I know that sounds mean but you have a child to think about. people will help you. You have to take the first step and leave. Trust me it is not easy. but as time goes on it gets easier.

Start making phone calls and see who can help you. I live in Pa. So i do not know what NC has avaliable. if you want to e mail me you can. my address is kpalmyra@aol.com. I understand what you are going through. also look on the computer for local programs in your area. you may even find an attorney who will take your case for a low fee or for nothing. It does happen. Sometimes you find help in the strangest places. Whenever someone tells you no just keep going. I just think about my son and I just keep going. So good luck!!!!
