The Op is in shock, she is still reeling from being violently assaulted in front of her kids by someone whose supposed to love her.
I say well done Op for getting one foot in front of the other.
When I went to the Police to give my statement, the officer asked me questions relating to my Ex's statement. Disappointingly (but not totally unexpectedly) he used his statement to make excuses and lies, apparently he acted in self defense.
The truth is a lot of what happend in my case was out of my hands (my ex called the police, he thought I was dead). Had he been contrite I may of not supported the case but he refused to take responsibility so I let the criminal justice system take the lead.
Take care Op, you and your children did not deserve this. Your H has issues and attacking you in front of your children and blaming you was a far more attractive option then seeking help. If he's blaming you then he is upping the ante and your only choice now is to call the police, as this is the first step in protecting your children and their mother.
Get some rest and take as much RL support as you can.
To everyone else, the shock will wear off.
The hero in my story is my kick ass daughter, whose compassion and sense of right and wrong was far more developed than her father's.
Loops, let the Op know that we are thinking of her and the harsh words written, were written in frustration. We're frustrated because we can't do anything, we can't undo what has been done and we can't protect her and fortunately for him, he ain't here so we can collectively get all She-ra on his ass.
