Do you have a log of that? I believe that could be useful evidence to get a restraining order.

I married a guy like this. Trust me when I say BE GLAD that he is gone. It is not fun to secretly move out, be afraid that he will find out where you live, etc. My counselor at the time told me that the most dangerous time is when you break up with him so we took several steps to protect me through that time. DO listen to people above who suggest you seek legal advice now. If you don't know how to find that advice, call a local domestic violence shelter. They will know who you should contact.
