      It’s victim blaming of the worst kind. Hold your head high. My ex did the same. Involved my adult child and showed them the details. I backed down and my ex still did not agree. They are liars. Stick to your guns and if he won’t sign then let the court sort him out and ask the court to award costs against him x

      I agree with Kip. It’s definitely victim blaming. Abusers are good at making us think that if we just do xyz and jump through certain hoops then they will stop being abusive and act reasonable. It never works. They always come up with new hoops for us to jump through. Having the courts involved is in your best interest. Stick to your guns. There is nothing soft about abuse so the language used to describe it in court documents shouldn’t be soft either. Also I want you to know you are amazing and brave 💜.
