I am a victim of domestic violence and have been a victim for some time. I finally did what I should have done a long time ago and I called the police on my ex husband for domestic violence. They arrested him about 3am the next morning. It was the hardest thing I had to do.
It was horrible for my son to witness his dad attacking me in front of our 4 year old son. He loves his dad very much. I am just hoping this whole experience has finally taught his dad a lesson. He is out of jail but has a court date for arraignment on Tuesday. Then we'll see what happens from there. This is all new to me. I am just glad I have taken a huge step forwarding in stopping the violence.
I woke up many nights to glass breaking, things hitting the walls or having to listen to my mother beg my father not to break her arm.
He kicked me down the hall when I was 2 cuz I said I wanted a break from cleaning my room.
I called the cops on him once and he came back w/ a vengeance!
We left but my brother stayed we got a call in the middle of the night from my dad saying we needed to get back now cuz he had a gun to my brothers head. I could go on all day.
Sorry not trying to take over ur post just trying to make my point clear... I know what u are going through and I understand how hard it is just remember ur son will NEVER forget what he saw so I'm glad u got out as early as u did! There's nothing worse than growing up in that kind of situation. Good for u and ur son. He will look back and thank u later!!
he needs a lesson now, and professional help. just imagine what he does to you now, and what he will do to your teenage son when he gets mouthy (a natural teenage thing). And if your not around to stop it, would he be able too? He definatly needs help.
Good for you!!! You did a right thing. I know it was tough for you to have your son see all these, but if you showed him it is not OK to abuse anyone. Your son will still love his dad regardless but he needs to know what is right and wrong.
I am a survivor of DV myself. In my case, my ex lied to the police that I attached him first and they didn't arrest him even though I had marks on my face and body.
Don't feel bad. It is NEVER YOUR FAULT. You did what you needed to do. Start taking counseling at a local DV advocate program. It is going to be a long battle with him.
Agree. Strongly agree.
Quoting soon2b3boys:I, too, have been in this situation. please do not drop the charges. i did. and it just gets worst from there. once they get away with it, they think they can keep doing it and then they do things that make you think them hitting you wasnt so bad.
Good for you! I hope you get all the help that you and your family needs. Prayers to your family.
