It’s ridiculous that the alleged victim isn’t listened to. I can understand in some, serious cases. But minor or no real injury cases that occur one time, the alleged victim’s wishes should count for a lot more. These kind of cases make life harder on families, when many times the circumstances aren’t serious at all.

@@spamdaniel1383 But if you touched her in an "offensive" manner, even wo the intent to either inflict injury or falsely "imprison" (impede her movement w/o cause), that's ENOUGH to sustain a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery. And if you told the arresting officer that, then you've done the Deputy DA's work for her.

I wanted joint custody of our toddler daughter. Out of the blue, she accused me of sexually molesting our daughter and got everything she wanted and I got almost nothing. I laid low. I eventually was able to prove an extensive pattern of lying by my Ex. Both the court appointed psychologist and court counselor totally flipped. I eventually won total custody. I was assaulted annually for about a decade by the Ex-, usually during visitations. She was of equal size, weight, and strength. She often used weapons (pogo stick, baseball bat.) I reported every incident to the police and to the courts. Several times the police took confirming photos of sizable bruises. Despite the evidence, the DA and the court repeatedly did nothing. When our daughter was in the third grade, I asked her where she would like to live if something were to happen to me. Her two choices did not include Mom. I figured the best witness to her choices and reasoning would be the court counselor. The counselor apparent asked about her relations to her mother. She told about a fight she had with her mother on the school grounds several months earlier. At the next court hearing, the judge on his own initiative issued a permanent restraining order. Several months later, the Ex- came by, wanting to borrow some money. She had stopped payment on a prior check, so I refused to loan her any more money and went back to work. She kicked me in the genitals. I landed on the ground in a fetal position and was wiped out for nearly two weeks. The DA finally took action and the court issued an arrest warrant. They made on effort to execute the warrant and dropped the warrant in less than a year. The Ex- was never inconvenienced for any of her antics at any point. The daughter has wanted nothing to do with her mother for over thirty years now, but gets along fine with all her other maternal relatives (and me.)

Took me 1.5yrs to gather the evidence and write a 30 page document citing almost 300 pages of evidence proving beyond a reasonable doubt that i was the victim of narcissistic abuse. The same judge, who quashed 4k in fines and vacated a dui for her earlier that year, committed a title 18 section 242 criminal offense against me. I will hold him, and her, accountable.

My friend was arrested last Friday for texting while driving. He had a previous fourth-degree assault charge, but failed to appear in court in 2020. Despite a prior assault charge from 13 years ago, he has demonstrated good behavior by completing an alcohol program, community service, and anger management classes. The alleged victim has made a statement to have the charges dropped from his record. I am very concerned that my friend may lose his job in customer relations manager at a prominent bank and his new house due to this recent arrest. His Mom and dad have not found out trying to keep it under wraps. He just purchased a house less than one month away.

You really ought to be telling your attorney pretty much everything that you're doing in relation to the case. In other words, if you have to ask, the answer is probably yes. But, I'm not an attorney, so there's that, but it's generally better for your attorney to have as much information to work with as possible.

My wife was going to go out on mother's Day by herself to another state, i suggested she take the 18 month old with her. She took him but dropped him off at her friends house, the baby can't talk 😮why would she do that? Upon checking the phone records she was calling a guy, but told me she went to see his sister 😮we argued then she told me his name, quick Google search, i find his orange jumpsuit jail photo, I showed her his pic, she became aggressive then i had my answer upon looking closely he had 5 open cold sores on his mouth, she ran to the pd and said i assaulted her, she had my 20 year old daughter say I had my hand raised ...**i am a recovering stroke survivor on the right side of my body can't put my arm up*** told police i assaulted her how as I'm right hand dominant, she was mad i found out...now she wants to undo what she has done and it's costing me money... The dude called the police to my home, nobody asking how he got our address to do such a thing... but that's what started it, on mother's Day! Go figure

Sometimes we have to let go of the things we love the most; because if we are going to continue breath on this earth and not just end it ourselves, we at least deserve a chance and with violent, emotional, mental and narcissistic abuse, that isn't giving yourself a chance at all. Get away. Give yourself a chance at something more and better. Anything is better than that shit. You can message me anytime. If you need help I will be here for you.

@@Ametsuchi1234 I don't want your sympathy--I just want to shed some light on a subject that's uncomfortable and frankly I feel like the fact that I'm allowed to access internet for an hour a day and even secretly make posts is way more than most women in this position get. I've been able to post when so many women can't because their abuser will go through all their activity and usually even deprive them of a device. I'm sorry you find my posts needy or however they make you feel. That's not my intention. KZfaq is literally my one outlet--it has helped me not break the window and jump. I am grateful for all the support everyone here has given me. If you are doubtful of my situation, you can message me and I'd be happy to provide you with the documents showing just how screwed up and dangerous my captor is. And yes, he's a captor. I'm at my one year anniversary of making it through attempted murder. I don't want your sympathy---I want CHANGE! Let's not treat people with so little love and care. We are born alone, die alone, and yet we need each other to pull through life. Be well. Again, if my use of youtube as therapy for the hell I've been through offends you, I hope you understand that it has helped me positively. (PS: if you look at all my comments, most of them are 'awww so cute' for seal and gorilla videos). (PPS: my abuser was convicted against 6 other girls before me; i'm not crazy...part of why I comment is because the government in my country isn't doing a good enough job tightening our justice system to make sure this stuff is actually punished.) (PPPS: I may be eloquent (sorta kinda) but intelligence doesn't exclude you from susceptibility to abuse). (PPPPS: why are you stalking my comments? that's kinda weird...I don't even know how you'd be able to do that)

I blocked my mother in law's phone number on our house phone because it rang out loud and she was calling it every day at random times. Boom, my wife files for an order of protection, the police come and tell me to get out, and 2 weeks later my wife filed for divorce. The judge, a female, ejected me from my house for 1 year. Now, my wife and her lawyer are requesting another two years. Moral of the story: Never offend your mother in law.
