It started that the baby wasn&#8217;t his. So he wanted another to prove it was his. That&#8217;s fine I&#8217;ll have another. Okay I&#8217;m pregnant again then physical abuse began that day. The day I found out I was pregnant with her.. my daughter. It stated as a couple punches now and then. Then kicking. Choking. Burning. ( he burned my lady parts with a hair straightener.) I&#8217;ll fast forward to the end and I&#8217;ll make you a list of what I suffered&#8230; I wasn&#8217;t allowed to go to a hospital or the doctor. Neither were my kids&#8230; so anyway the day I escaped. The day before I was beat from the time he woke up to til he went to bed&#8230; he stepped on me. He kicked me. He tied me up with duck tape to a pole and whipped me with plastic cv pipe. When it broke he moved to a fishing pole&#8230; when I passed out he&#8217;d stop. Then it would began all again. That day was literally hell. I wished I was dead so Many times&#8230; the next day I went to work. I was covered in cuts, bruises, bumps. And clumps of my hair was ripped out. They called the cops and when they arrived I made a choice to finally speak&#8230; it didn&#8217;t end there though. On October 30th 2022. My kids wanted to go trickortreating. I agrees to ride with him. That became my biggest mistake. He was fine. Then he wasn&#8217;t. He said to me. &#8221; if you don&#8217;t drop the pfa so I can come home you won&#8217;t make it home alive.&#8221; So I played it cool til he stopped at a stop sign. I jumped out of the truck and ran<br \/>\n Into a store&#8230; I never thought he&#8217;d follow me in. He did he proceeded to follow me through the store and stabbed me 3 times in my chest. And sliced my left side of my neck the whole way up my face. I live with these scars every day. Everytime I look in the mirror I see it. But, I still consider myself lucky because I got out. A lot don&#8217;t&#8230; the man who did this might get out because of the rule 600. If you don&#8217;t know what that is. It&#8217;s where an inmate doesn&#8217;t get in front of a judge within 180 days in jail they could get out&#8230;. I won&#8217;t find out til my preliminary which is June 26th the trial is set to start on July 10th (ironic that&#8217;s my oldest son&#8217;s birthday) if that doesn&#8217;t go through he is faces 5 to 10 or 6 to 12&#8230; I&#8217;m not getting discouraged either way I have faith that he will be punished for his crimes.
