he served 4yrs in prison for the domestic violence case with me, I got married to him when he got out because I thought he had changed, he has liver problems, bipolar and couldnt get treatment without insurance, so like a dummy I wanted to help him and add him to my insurance, however the condition was that we would not live together until he got counseling, with time he got mad and his harrassing started, he is now arrested and being charged with harrsement, stalking, residential burglary, violating order of protection.
