It all started when he was drinking and she tried to stop him from driving. He got angry and assaulted her. Later, he showed up at her home while she was with a male friend and her son.

After the attack, she felt scared and lost her job. She even became homeless for a while. It’s heartbreaking to think someone she loved could do this.
In court, Lambourne got a suspended sentence and a restraining order. The judge made it clear that his actions were dangerous. It’s a tough reminder of how jealousy can lead to violence.
