WHen someone asks me "when is enough enough?" My response is always when you have to ask that question, you are answering yourself. Enough is enough when you are asking yourself that.

I really feel that's well said, Jeanette

I find, with myself anyway, while I asking that same question...

Though I should have known, that, that was when enough was enough, etc.,

In the back of my mind, and even as I stood there in court for an order of protection. The court judge told me:

"Ms. (blank), these things usually end in divorce..."

My response at the time was:

"But I don't really want a divorce, I just want him to stop..."

I stood there in the middle of that empty giant courtroom head down, (kind of gross) but running nose down to my chin, felt really pathetic.

I had no idea what I was up against or rather chose not to believe, just what it would take to end the cycle once and for all, I'd gotten myself into
