Should I press charges?

Yes . You need to report this to the police. Next time he
Might try kill you
Get Help .

I saw you said my ā€œno exā€ so Iā€™m assuming yā€™all are broken up already. YES press charges! He could do this to other women after you! He could even kill oneā€¦ pressing charges will hopefully lock this asshole up for a while so he canā€™t get to you or anyone else.

It breaks my heart that you went through all of that and are still conditioned to question if thatā€™s abuse. Call the police, and stay tf away from that loser.

Absolutely call police & press charges!!! Should have been done right after incident!! If he did it to anyone else - he would have been arrested!!!

Get rid of him and press charges and quit making excuses Not This Time abuse is abuse physical verbal and destruction of personnel items period next he will kill you get away from him

OMG girlā€¦get the cops there as many times as u need 2ā€¦make out reports so u have them to back u upā€¦get to court ā€¦get a restraining orderā€¦i 2 have been through this many timeā€™s with my exā€¦when he comes over with a restraining orderā€¦he will be put in jailā€¦the cops will get tired of his shit and u need to keep your eyes peeled in your house and when your outā€¦he sounds CRAZYā€¦ive been there many timesā€¦i also had kids so start soonā€¦without documentation it wonā€™t stop ā€¦if he comes by ā€¦call ā€¦if he calls ā€¦if he threatens u callā€¦if u let it it slide u will end up in the hospitalā€¦i didā€¦many timesā€¦stop this maniac nowā€¦they do not change

This is abuse. Go to the police. If this is happening while your son is on the property and someone else finds out, you too can have docs/child services involved because you didnā€™t go to the police to make this stop.

Press chargesā€¦the fact that he grabbed you and burned you is abuseā€¦PERIOD.

Yeah, if you went on Facebook and wrote out this whole story asking if you should call the cops or not, you are in more trouble than you knowā€¦ I mean seriously?? Burnā€™s bruises, kicks out your car window and you ask strangerā€™s on facebook book if you should call the cops? :woman_facepalming:t3::woman_facepalming:t3::woman_facepalming:t3:

You already know the answer, you just need to follow thru with it

Hang in there, heā€™ll get better. Thatā€™s exactly what all abused spouses think. He didnā€™t mean it. I love him ( even though he beats the shit out of me). The real answer is get the hell out! Unless youā€™re part of the problem too. In that case just keep hoping the tooth fairy will have a chat with one or both of you

File charges before itā€™s to late.

Have his Ass Arrested!!! B. Do Not Let this go

Uhā€¦yeahā€¦why would you even ask that?

I canā€™t even respond to this :confused: I mean seriously

Put his sorry as in jail. He tackled you? Burned you? Threatened you and damaged your vehicleā€¦ broke your cell phone? RUN, DONT WALK!!!. The next time he might kill you.

911 BEFORE he KILLS YOU!!!

Yes what are you waiting for The next time?

This canā€™t be a serious post :woman_facepalming:t2:

Yes he caused you harm by tackling you and bruised you also cigarette mark in your arm, you also have a case because he said he was going to punch your eyes and that would be terroristic threatsā€¦.call police if you feel the need to

Oh hunā€¦ please please please get yourself and babies somewhere safe and have him charged, and possibly no contact orderā€¦ that is all abuse, just because heā€™s not ā€˜punchingā€™ you does not mean heā€™s not abusing you.

In my state thatā€™s 2 felonies domestic violence causing visible injury and preventing the victim to call for help. Iā€™m going to be as gentle as possible. You have clear signs of a survivor of domestic violence. You are doubting he hurt you because it wasnā€™t as bad as another time, comparing. Love, you were assaulted. You are carrying trama and need specific counciling specializing with domestic violence. If you file charges, depending on your state you have to follow through. My DA has the mentality of no victim (to testify aka follow through with charges) no crime and the suspect walks. I see it all the time. Follow through if you want this, nobody can do it for you and thats why having an advocate is important if you file charges. Law enforcement should provide pamphlets of agencies within your community that can help.

Short answer - yes press charges as this is abuse. You keep mentioning ā€œthis timeā€ meaning it has happened previously :pleading_face:
This is a cycle and he will continue to do it as he has gotten away with it before.

Definitely press charges! Who knows when he will do this again! Your kids need you and you donā€™t deserve to be treated that way! You need to protect yourself and your children. Hugs!!

That was assault and battery. Go to police department and report this ASAP. They will advise you what to do. My husband was in courtroom getting divorce. Exwife was blocking aisle. He got to her placed his hands on her arm and basically lifted her up to move her over. Lawyer walked out door with him and told him that was assault in the eye of the law. If he had hit her it would have been battery.

Yes. It was abusive every time hon. Please get help from your local domestic violence center and get set up with an advocate.

My ex slammed my hand into the back of a door (between the door and and wall) one night when he was angry at meā€¦I wasnā€™t strong enough to hold the door shut and there was no lock on itā€¦I called the cops and didnā€™t even have to press charges-they said they had enough evidence to do it regardlessā€¦just to put it in perspective, because your situation sounds worseā€¦no one should ever lay hands on a other person to get what they want, out of anger, or for ANY reasonā€¦im sorry you even have to question it. But Iā€™ve been thereā€¦and I did too. You need to get a restraining order

YES YES YES!!! Press charges! Drugs or not he cannot get away with this! 9 out of 10 heā€™ll do it again, stop it now, PLEASE!

Yes its absuse and you know it. Trying to talk yourself out of it on technicality only allows this behavior to continue. Stand up for yourself now. Would you want to teach your children that this is ok to do to someone or take from someone. Hugs to you and Iā€™m so very sorry you are going through this

Go to the ER and have them take pics of the bruises and burn mark. Call the police and PRESS charges. Get a restraining order and do NOT let him come back in. Follow thru with the charges. If he has done this once he will do it again and next time you might not live to tell the story. Please get help for yourself and child. This crap can linger in childā€™s mind for years.

Iā€™m so sorry this happened to you. Donā€™t feel guilty for calling the cops! It sounds to me like youā€™ve already given him chances but the abuse has continued. Itā€™s only going to get worse from here. Protect yourself and your kiddo! No man (or woman for that matter) EVER has a right to put their hands on you. This wasnā€™t an isolated incident, itā€™s a pattern. Recognize it and get out before anything worse happens. Thank you for sharing your question. I really needed to see all of these responses myself. :heart:

Oh honey, this is abuse, you have bruises, property damage. Press charges and run with that sweet baby while heā€™s detained. Protect yourself and reinforce for your son that is NOT how men treat women.

Itā€™s truly terrifying and heartbreaking to think that this isnā€™t abuse. My advice - lose this boyā€¦I donā€™t care who he is to your childā€¦he is a dangerā€¦and it will only get worse unless this boy gets himself some help.
The key beingā€¦HE needs to help himself and you need a restraining order

Breaking the phone is a charge in itself. Heā€™s got about four charges thereā€¦call the cops. He did all this I assume while your child was inside asleep, heā€™ll be back.

Make a report!!! You should have done it when it happened. Abuse is abuse. Leaving marks on you is abuse. Burning you was not an accident when he grabbed you on purpose so you wouldnā€™t/couldnā€™t call for help. Stop making excuses for him and start standing up for you and your child. Neither of you deserve this.

omg yes he abused you. you need help both from the police but also emotional support. I struggle to think you donā€™t see his behaviour as assaultive. This guy is ought of control . I donā€™t care if itā€™s drugs alcohol or both. itā€™s in him to do this. Get as far away as possible.

He is your X ā€¦He needs help and heā€™s angry at you .you need to do what ever it takes to protect you and your sonā€¦you in my prayers baby girlā€¦hopefully he gets pulled over for drunk driving he needs helpā€¦

Yes, that is 100% domestic assult, property damage, and potentially criminal trespassing. I would personally report it, for you and your childrenā€™s safety and so he knows youā€™re not going to tolerate that behavior.

Please go talk to the cops. Press charges on him for assault. The only way your going to have a real life without walking on egg shells,looking over your shoulder,nervous scared for yourself and your children you need to make that step. To leave and donā€™t let him intimidate you.i went through that years ago,and I was so relieved. I felt good,and free from a mean person.

Yes you definitely need to press charges and get a restraining order on him. Because by saying you should be afraid of him, means heā€™ll do it again and possibly worse the next time. Protect yourself and your child.

Iā€™d make a report, get a restraining order and custody order. Donā€™t wait until he does something more insane before you do anything about it.

I donā€™t have time to scroll through all these comments so

  1. File a report with the police and get an emergency protective order
  2. File for a permanent protective order
  3. 1000% abuse physical emotional and verbal.
  4. Seek cost of property damaged. You have to get someone to assess the value of the damages and press charges for that.

I wish you luck with everything and I know you have a child with this man but I hope you remove this toxic person from your life and I pray he isnā€™t like this around your child and your child doesnā€™t see this behavior

Well, ask yourself this: next time it happens ( and I promise you there will be a next time) and itā€™s worse, do you want your son to witness/be involved in that kind of violence?

Are you kidding me of course he
did he is a danger to you your son and anybody else put charges on him and let them put him away or he needs to get help get away from him now

The fact you have to ask here then it is definitely the right choice to go straight to the police. Itā€™s never ok for anyone to treat you like that. He is dangerous and should never be around you or your kid

He still assaulted youā€¦and damaged your property. Yes you should press charges

He is a domestic violence perpetrator and he assaulted you yr son doesnā€™t need to grow up having a dad like that nor you do not want to be a statistic should heā€™s violence escalates
Good luck :crossed_fingers:t4:

Get out of that ā€œrelationshipā€ in whatever form. Press charges and get a restraining order. If he can do that right imagine the kids.

Have him arrested. And in his punishment (time/$) add in the cost of both of you getting counseling and treatment, and keeping you insured lifetime under his insurance. You both need help. Your post proves it. Any witnesses?

Burning you even if on accident, tackling you, interfering with a 911 call are all things that he can go to jail for. Press charges and get as far away from him as possible.

Mine did the same thing and yes press charges he might be angry but do you press charges to put a restraining order out youā€™ll be safe safer than dead.

It is abuse and damage you are left with bruises from him using force to attack you regardless of how he did it. One should never have bruises from any partner.

It was assault. You are bruised and he tackled you down.doesnt matter if he punched you or not. He caused you physical harm.

If anyone puts their hands on u in a violent way it is assault which charge it would come under is up to the police (ie assault & battery/gbh/abh) but he also made threats to you and ur child was in the house think of their safety not just physically but mentally, watching one parent attack another really leaves trauma scars I speak first hand at the impact it can have on children mine have been in and out of therapy for 2 yrs because of what they witnessed

Go to a safe place mama thatā€™s full on abuse and thatā€™s not alright

File a protection order(because a child is around the situation they will react) not a restraining order (cops donā€™t bat an eye most of the time at a restraining order)

This is still abuse. Of course charge him. It will always happen if you let it.

RUN get a restraining order NOW, you definitely have a good cause to get it, next time you may not be do lucky

Stop protecting him. Worry about protecting you and your child. Press charges, get a restraining order, and a gun. Go to a range and learn how to use it properly. Never take chances. Always be prepared.

Yes this is still abuse. Next time you may not be as lucky or perhaps one of your kids. He definitely needs help

OMG Lady, does he have to kill you? Definitely press charges and by all means get a restraining order!
