She and her two small children are currently residing with me. Well, he's demanding to see the children and while she HAS filed for an ex parte order of protection (with provisions for full custody

Around 6:00 PM? I might be able to do that.

I'm biologically female, but I'm an ex-Army officer, trained in martial arts and hand-to-hand combat, a weight-lifter, and can pretty much kick anyone's ass. If this guy tries anything, I'll have him on the floor with my knee on his neck before he knows what hit him.

E-mail me at faisons(at)gmail(dot)com, and we'll go over details and see if it's a good idea for me to go.

Oh, thank gods. You're perfect! I'd like to be there, but there's no telling what Bast's influence on me could wreak if I were.

*preens* I like to think I'm perfect. *wink*

But yeah, this looks like the sort of thing I'd be perfectly suited for. I'm happy to help. I was blessed with deceptively disarming cuteness and apparent innocence, but the instant someone crosses me, they know they've just gone so far up shit creek they're about to drown in it. I intend to use my powers for good. :D

All that, plus a measure of self-control over the thing. Being A) a childhood abuse survivor and B) connected to a Goddess who goes all homicidal-ragey when children are threatened could make my reactions....uhm....unpredictable. :)

Of course, unlike you, I lack the combat training, so I might manage to do just enough to traumatize those kids for life.

This. I like this about you very, very much. (Similar background and inclinations, but approximately 15 years older and unable to show up.)
