I was 18years old when I started dating this man. Things were good when we first got together after couple months it started changing, he started to become controlling, verbally abusive and emotionally abusive but one thing I never thought he would do is lay his hands on me but I was wrong when I was 20years old this happened.
My ex came back home May 17th and this took place around 7ish
I had spend the whole weekend at his place he asked me to spend the night Friday night he went camping the next day and I left that day also I ended up coming back because his parents were there and I needed help calming our son down (colicky baby) next day went by I left for few hrs I went to moose creek to let him know I was gonna be out of service and going to my friend house couldn’t find him so I continued on and went to my friend house, I left went back to my ex apartment I wasn’t there no longer than a hr before he got back when he came back he asked with a attitude why are you still here I had gotten upset and went into his son bedroom ( reason I was upset was because it felt like it was a problem to have help since he doesn’t really help me much with our son I have to push him to try to help but then I gave up cause I’m not gonna force him to be in our son life if he doesn’t want to be in it.) my friend had called me and asked if I was ok and I said no she invited me over so I went into the front room my ex was yelling at me for being upset and I said I’m leaving, and still continue to yell at me and it was causing our son distress he was screaming and crying uncontrollably. My ex wanted to give him loves before we left I told him politely he needs to calm down first he did not like that. He yelled at me more he got up and went into his son room he took my son gift that was given to me and I tried to get it back from him because there were items in it that was needed that I didn’t have for our son and he said you left it here I didn’t mean to I had been looking for it in my stuff that i packed before I moved out. Then I went into the front room I sat down with our son as I was sitting on the floor holding our son about to put him in his car seat my ex kept getting in my face yelling and saying how he wants to hit me and all of this and that I’m lucky I’m holding our son because he would kill me and bury me his mom took the bassist out on the porch My ex took it to my car I put my son in his car seat buckled him up got up grabbed the diaper bag and car seat and went down the stairs to my car my ex was right next to me still yelling at me I clicked the car seat to the base locked the door cause I didn’t want him to take our son and cause more distress from all of the yelling he had grabbed my arms and pushed me against my car then he opened my passenger door took my keys stopping me from leaving I tried to get my keys from him I did and according to him I scratched him which I did not mean to at all I was just focused on getting my keys he had kicked me in my left knee/side of my leg I pushed him out of my car I got him out and at first I told him to get out of my car and he hadn’t after I pushed him out of my car I got in passenger side closed it and locked it and quickly went to driver seat and closed the door started my car and left I stopped at the gas station to take pictures I was starting to cry I got back in my car started driving again I ended up crying and shaking really bad so I pulled over and then a sheriff pulled up behind me cause I had pulled over.
