I know it sounds like a joke to most people that hear this,But I am a victim of domestic abuse,I was together with my significant other from August 2016 - Feb 10th 2025, our first 2 years together were decent, but in April of 2018 I was hit head on by a drunk driver,which caused the engine block of my car to cut through my right leg at the knee and shatterd my hip,they were able to reattach my leg,but it no longer bends now.I have difficulty getting around,I most of the time use a cane,but it was shortly after I started being Mobil again that my ex started being emotionally and physically abusive to me. We have 2 children together 5 and 7, and she does this in front of them, she will do anything from calling me a crippled, to tripping me or punching me, I've spent many nights having to leave the house and go outside and sleep in my car just to get away,she would bang on the car window and scream but eventually go back inside before neighbors saw her. But any way the only reason I have delt with this for so long is because of our children,in 2023 she showed me how easy it was for her to take them no questions asked,she went to a couple at church and told them she was being abused ,and she disappeared with he children for nearly 2 months,and the police in Georgia told me there was nothing I could do because we weren't married.so while I was getting things together with a lawyer I moved up to kentucky to stay with my mother ,and one day randomly she calls and ask me if I will please come get her and the kids that she misses me etc.. well I drive from ky to Georgia that night and finally get to see the kids,I was so happy.about 2 months pass of us living in ky and she is back to her same ways.except now I know how easily she can dissappear so I just deal with the abuse for 2 more years focusing on being with the kids ,but fast forward to Feb 10th of this year she does the exact same thing,except she goes to a dv shelter and gets a false epo written up on me,and now I am 27 days into not seeing my kids again. I should of followed through with the child custody action I had going in 2023 but she begged me to cancel it and I fired the lawyer and dropped the case. But now I do have a lawyer and I am just waiting day to day to finally get to have a hearing in court.each time I have went there has been a continuous . She has 2 domestic abuse charges for assaulting me,where she did almost a week in jail for each, and I have a couple videos to show the judge of when I had to lock myself in the bed room ,and she is on the other side of the door beating on it,and cursing me infront of the kids,and another where she says that if I don't open the door,she has a loaded magazine and will shoot me out. Any time I tried to ask for help before nothing ever came of it,everyone just said things like what did you do to make her mad etc... and laugh it off. If it had not been for witnesses of her her beating me on the ground ,she would not have been arrested either time on the domestic abuse charges,police seem to find it funny for some reason. But I am really hoping things look up for me when there is finally a hearing in court,because where it keeps getting continuous, the protective order still is in order. I just want to see my kids again and be completely rid of her and only deal with her when need be, just wondering if any other men have gone through anything similar. It's just crazy how she has the charges for assaulting me, but she goes in and writes up a false story and bam she gets everything,the system is so messes up.but hopefully things get better and I get to see my kids soon.
