My ex completely stopped on his own to allow my older daughter to continue after age 18 to take med for her OCD. My ex had always been violent physically and verbally. But once he stopped her from taking the one med I had been fighting him so that she would get the med for nearly 18 years every single night...the worst unimaginable happened...she went back to the same way she had been before 2nd grade. She had also learned his violent behavior. I had to leave both of them. Once he saw that she needed the med he tried to force her to take it again. But she wouldn't. He became very very violent. Threw her down and threw a chair in her face. But the police never did a dam thing (We live in Israel). In the U.S. he'd be behind bars a long time ago. After 4 years, last year the police found her in another city and took her to a psych ward where I was told that the traumas she had undergone were so bad that she had PTSD, was Psychotic had horriffic OCD and other disorders like mood disorders. This father continues to intervene in her life and she doesn't understand what he has done to her. She is in a hostel but he takes her out. He broke my wrist years ago and has always been violent with the older daughter especially. Have been many many times to the police . My older daughter has been too. The police listen to the father. Nothing g has ever been done. I hate him with a passion...
