head and heart ...

your heart will fall for it, but your head needs to keep strong... i know its so hard, i struggled to report mine for the "nice" messages, just ignored them (crying buckets) till they changed and then reported the threats when they came, along with the other attempts at being "nice". its part of a pattern that most of them go through, the nice, the nasty, see which one makes it go away, and the trouble is that if you let him learn that all he has to do is to tell you he loves you and it DOES go away, he'll just keep doing the same. he needs to learn that if he does bad things, then bad things happen - like the court system, like you not being there, otherwise there is no incentive to change... and honestly, and this is only my opinion im personally not sure they ever can! but im hoping given the amount of them out there that im just being overy pessimstic with that one! all the best, really hope things work out for you

hugs
