*NO BASHING* *TRIGGER WARNING* My ex abused me: What else can I do?

Get a protective order and stay the hell away from him.

Meaning have a 38 revolver

If. You ever got out. Of this take
Time to look the next guy over.
Be for you jump in to any thing

outside of some minor incidents ,heā€™s probably a nice guy

Get a gun, learn how to use it, if her tries anything again, shoot him, until the threat is neutralized.

Depends where you are from. Open carry in NM. Shoot the bastard! By the time the cops respond to a 911 due to understaffing you could be dead. Turn the tables and let him be afraid but learn to use it first. Best home defenseā€¦shotgun.
