finally out but now facing criminal charges for false accusations
by
Hi,
I have lived in an abusive relationship for the last 3 months. We dated for 6 months before I moved in with him. During the dating scene he was the man of my dreams. I thought I'd found prince charming himself. The day that I moved in with I instantly became what "his property." During the first month of living together I suffered so much verbal abuse that I had to miss 2 weeks of work because I was so depressed that all I wanted to do was kill myself instead of waking up another day beside the devil himself. One night after arguing and all the verbal abuse it got so bad that I was ready to kill myself. I have a 10 year old son so I knew that I could not take myself away from him so I called 911 and told them what was going on and told them nothing about domestic abuse, just that I was ready to kill myself and needed help. The ambulance and State Police came to our home and was ready to take me to jail. ??? They then was going to take me and my son to a womens shelter but told him he could pick me up there in the morning?? Finally they left with the agreement that I would talk to counselor first thing in the morning. It is hard to tell what he told them but they were ready to take me away. So after a few more days of him telling me I am crazy and mental I went to my doctor for antidepressents. I took them and realized that I was not the one with the problem. If only he would keep his mouth off of me I would not have been depressed. So I stopped taking them. A few weeks later of no relief in sight I went up to our local police station at approx 10:00pm after he pushed me to the floor and banged my head off of it several times. The police station was not open, so I called our emergency line to ask about filing a restraining order. The told me to call back in the morning. The next day the office called my boyfriend and told him I was at the station at 3:00 am and they were afraid to open the door because I was kicking it, screaming, yelling and making threats. Did I mention that my boyfriend went to school with the only 2 officers we have in our town. Okay so a few more months goes by and nothing got any better. The abusive was happening every day both physical and emotionally. Two days ago, I called my mom and asked her to come and get me. This angered him of course. He started acting so horrible that I had to call the police. I requsted that they send a state police officer so no favortism would be shown. They refused to even give me their number. The lady at the 911 station treated me horribly and did not take me seriously. There was an officer that showed up a few minutes later and he said he did not even want to hear me. He said he would have busted my ass a long time ago. Even though I had marks on me and a severe knot on the back of my head all he did was come over to me and pull my head towards him, he then felt it and told me he was going to arrest me false accusations. He also told me he was going to arrest me for criminal tresspassing because I had no business in my own home. Well the officer made me leave or be arrested..that was my choice. I was allowed to return when my mother was able to get there. We went back and packed what little I could. The whole time he was still pushing me and yelling at me and my son. He even threatened to kill the dog. He would not let me take certain things so I called the police back to see if he was allowed to do that and the cop told me to take what he said I was allowed to take and get my f**cking a** back to Ohio where I belong. The officer refused to give me his name stating it was none of my business. Well two days later I am gone but now he says he is having me arrested for stealing from him. I still have the bruises from Sunday but the cop would not believe me or even listen to me. Any support or help is appreciated as this is tough on me afraid I am going to jail for moving out of his home.
