I was threatened over an assumption saying my teeth will all be smashed, jaw broken and throat slit plus much more 2 say

Asked in Orange, CA on May 17, 2026 Last answered on May 19, 2026

Screams at me, waking me up, saying I ate a spoonful of his peanut butter, which I don’t buy. You can check my EBT records. I get up to go see what he’s claiming, and there’s just a peanut butter residue spoon in the sink. He says, “That’s clearly a peanut butter spoon.” So I say, “Wait, wait, so it goes teaspoon, tablespoon, then peanut butter spoon?" He gets about 2 inches from my face and says, "I'm going to smash all your fucking teeth, break your jaw, and slit your throat -- I hope mommy has good dental for you." I promptly fled out as fast as I could and cry myself to sleep every night as I'm in fear for my life!!!!!!!!!!

Every time he walks in the room, he has a menacing grimace on his face as if he wants to kill me. He is on parole for heinous crimes. The second time I had an early appointment so I go to take a shower. As soon as I’m out of the shower (and mind you, 2 others are sleeping in the room), he’s slamming doors, screaming in front of my face about how I'm a c*nt, my mom's a c*nt, and I’ll never get a job even though I apply to 15-25 daily on Indeed. I'm in fear for my life.

You can go to the Orange County Superior Court (the family law courthouse), and they should have a Family Law Self-Help Center that can help you fill out the forms and get a court hearing date for a domestic violence restraining order. If you can establish the abuse to the court, they may give you an order kicking the perpetrator out of the house. You will then go back to court in about three weeks to discuss this further with the judge. If you are truly in fear for your life, you need to get out opf that place. Reach out to friends and relatives who may be able to help you. There are also several low/no-cost legal services available. Just Google "low-cost divorce lawyer in Orange County," and you should get some names of places to call. This is a difficult situation for you, and I wish you the best in this matter.
