Now he's threatening to open a new account for his SSD income & for the work comp annuity which is the majority of our income.

About 5 months ago the woman broke down and told my wife her husband has been beating her for 20 yrs she showed my wife several bruises her stomach and told my she's afraid leave because her husband said he will kill her.
