[Gatesedge] OT - a BIG favor to ask ...

[Maria Buchanan]

Hi Everyone.

I have a BIG favor to ask.

My divorce will be filed in a few weeks.  But my attorney recommends that I get 
all the rest of my stuff out of John's house before it's filed.

I have looked at the Kingdom Calendar and have chosen two dates.  They are both 
Sundays after local events.  It's a big pain in the butt but I need to get this 
done.  My father's health has deteriorated to the point that he can't help me 
anymore with moving stuff.  I have 2 pieces of furniture and the rest is pots 
and pans and maybe some other stuff that is small.  I am willing to rent a 
truck, but I need help moving the stuff.

With the tension that has been between John and me in the past year, I don't 
think it's a good idea for me to go there with just a couple of other people.  I 
don't want problems from him.  The situation has gotten worse with him, and he 
has become verbally abusive.  A few men with me will at least stop the verbal 
abuse from becoming physical.  


The dates are next Sunday, September 18 and Sunday October 9.  Next weekend is 
Raven's Fort and the weekend of the 9th is Loch.  Since they are both local 
events I thought the likelihood of people camping at them would be lower.  


I really need help here.  I don't want to get into a situation where John gets 
angry with me and tries something and I have to defend myself.  It is quite 
likely to happen if there are no men with me.  I don't think he'd try anything 
with a few of my SCA friends with me.  


Please think about the dates and let me know if you can help and which is the 
better date.  I am really terrified that there will be problems if I don't have 
some friends with me.  You all know, I'm not the type of person who's usually 
afraid of things, but this possibility really terrifies me.  I am not worried 
about him being verbally abusive, it's the possibility of his anger getting away 
and being physically abusive that scares me.  I would have to defend myself at 
that point, and I don't want to be placed in that position, especially now, with 
my degree so close and the idea of moving into government work existing in my 
future.  


Please, take pity on a lady in need.  I'm begging ... I really am scared that 
this will turn bad.  


Thank you all.
Maria
