On one occasion I have called the police and two male officers arrived within minutes, I met them at the door and explained he had tried to throttle me. They separated us, me in the kitchen downstairs and he in a living room (detail removed by moderator). I was terrified about what he was telling them as they kept leaving me on my own and going (detail removed by moderator). One officer took my statement, read it back to me and asked me to sign it. He told me your husband wants to be arrested, which confused me, so I refused to bring charges so he could be, telling them just to tell him off that he couldn’t do that to me. This happened a few years back.
Before the police incident, out of the blue when he was on a bottle of (detail removed by moderator) a day, I went through (detail removed by moderator) or longer of him punching me in the face. I worked full time then in a large company and although I would regularly go into work with facial bruises only one man said ‘Did you walk into a door?’ I just starred back at him.
Because I am mentally ill and have been for (detail removed by moderator), I have been sectioned (detail removed by moderator), he now tells people I am lying about the physical abuse, that it never happened but that doesn’t change the fact that I no longer fully trust him. I have no where to go, (detail removed by moderator) I reported him again, the police came out and left me at a friends house waiting for the local woman’s refuge to arrive but they didn’t. In the end my sister came but no one would allow me to stay at their house overnight, so in the end many hours later I went home.
On reading the previous replies, I wonder who will have records or as we are going through a peaceful period I should let sleeping dogs lie and do nothing?
