Hi, basically, this might be quite a long read but. So basically me and my ex girlfriend were in a house together having a few drinks, context is important. I cheated on this girlfriend (I was trying to make it up to her and generally it was going well)(you don’t need to tell me what I did was wrong as I’m awake and was doing everytning to make it up to her) but due to the drinks being drunk this ex decided to get very aggressive and angry at me.
This ex girlfriend starting slapping me, hitting me and hitting my head with one of my beer bottles, trying to ‘bottle’ me. I knew this girl was very psycho so starting voice recording the situation and I knew it would escalate. I begged her to leave me alone and even started crying as I asked to leave her house as she blocked the door.
I finally got out after her hitting me a lot I got out to street and went to run off. My ex then went over to my car and kept threatening to key my car and was banging my car with her fist and keys (she damaged the car with two key marks) I then went over and shouted like get away etc, I then pushed her as she kept hitting my car. She then starting shouting very loud at 3am saying I hit her and people came out of their house, they then of course believed the girl and called me scumbag etc. At this stage I knew it was best to leave. I left the situation and went home.
Last night the police put a slip through my door and I contacted them, they said allegation of common assualt and could I come in for a interview. She repeatedly said there has been no ‘statements’ given. I’m so confused and concerned to what I should do?
I have the interview on the 4th July. I have photos of the injuries she inflicted on me that night (badly cut throat from nail marks, ripped top and cut arms from her nails again.) I also have the voice recording where you can hear the slaps, punches banging of car and so on.
I don’t want all this trouble and would rather never hear from here again and I’m unsure what to do. My dad thinks me and him should go to the police station ourselves with no solicitor as that would cost a lot. My dad thinks we should just present what she done to me in the interview.
What do I do? do I counter report her to the police for assault and criminal damage or do I just go into the interview and tell them all this? I don’t really care about getting her in trouble as quite frankly she’s not worth my time I will let some other poor bloke look after her. I just want to be cleared and never hear anytbung about it again. Any advice??
