My ex husband is a piece of shit and the justice system is bullshit. A thread:
Honestly tired of seeing women emotionally and physically abused by their significant others and the men always getting away with it. Why are our stories not being taken seriously??
My psycho ex husband tried to pull a murder-suicide on me in October of last year and he was just found not guilty in a trial by jury today.
“Not enough evidence.”
They have the 911 call, my statement, I was admitted to the ER with injuries, he was found and arrested (high and drunk) in the area of the incident. But there’s not enough evidence??
I’ve been dealing with this for 10 months of my life “knowing” that something horrible was done to me and that he would see justice in the end.
I’m so hysterical I can’t even deal with life right now. This is insane.
This is why women don’t come forward. Because who cares about our safety and well being right?
He’s a man in trump’s America , why should he answer for the physical, sexual and emotional assault??
I am always posi and keep my personal life off of here for the most part, but I’m at a loss of what else to do??
I doubt my story will get out there with the amount of followers I have but I need to share.
I married my best friend at a young age and thought it would be forever. After 8 years of marriage he became addicted to drugs and abusive.
I’m married in the church and believed myself to be stuck with him, so I tried my best to have his back and get him through his mental health issues and addiction.
For the last years I was incredibly unhappy and afraid for my life a lot of the time. I asked for a divorce so many times only to be told by him that if I ever left he would kill himself.
I felt like a hostage. I did my best to keep my family happy even though I hated the person I was married to. Every single time we fought he would say the most awful and abusive things to me. Then threaten to kill himself.
These fights would be followed by apologies and gifts and promises that he would get help.
He never got help, and in the end made good on his threats to harm me and himself. I’m very lucky to be alive.
I’m sharing this story in hopes that if anyone is in a similar situation sees this and gets out in time, maybe their life will be saved.
If you see possessive behavior, run. No you’re not obligated to stay because you’re married.
If he never lets you have friends or go anywhere without him, run. You are a person and a human and a relationship doesn’t mean you stop being your own person.
If you’re constantly being accused of things you know you’re not doing, run. They most likely have a guilty conscience because they are actually the one doing wrong.
This is one of the MOST IMPORTANT things I have to say on the matter. You are not responsible for anyone’s mental health or for their life. He always threatened to kill himself if I left him. I took me a long time to realize I’m not responsible for his life or death.
If you are with someone who threatens to kill them-self it is NOT your responsibility. They have mental health issues. End of story.
I honestly CANNOT believe that he can go out and hire an expensive lawyer and get away with trying to KILL me. I am just thankful to be alive.
I am also dumbfounded at the things the lawyer was allowed to bring up in court. Things that had NOTHING to do with the night he tried to kill me. Victim blaming to the fullest.
Their whole defense was based on lies and everything he did to me they accused me of doing. I just don’t understand how people get away with flat out lying. It’s INSANE.
Now that the case is closed the protection order is lifted and I’m once again in danger.
I don’t even know what to do with myself. I thought he would finally be in jail and I would be safe and maybe get some closure.
Another part of this that fucks me up are the things they made up about me. He tried to kill me but told the jury I assaulted HIM. I have never laid a hand on him. He was mentally unstable and I knew how damaging physical abuse would be. I would NEVER.
I didn’t ask for the person I chose to spend my life with to change. I didn’t ask for him to get hooked on herioin. I didn’t ask to be abused for years. I didn’t ask to be assaulted. How is this happening??
I don’t even know what to say anymore...
Also, criminal defense lawyers are actual pieces of shit and the scum of the earth. How do you sleep at night knowing you’re defending violent criminals just because they pay you large amounts of money??
“Isn’t it true that you’re just trying everything you can to get him in trouble?” FUCK YOU!
It’s insane how maybe women are murdered, stalked, and assaulted for leaving their ex and nothing changes. Some of us live in fear of retaliation for simply turning down unwanted advances. Sick of it.
Update: some pdycho sent me this on insta last night. New girlfriend? Honey you should run not walk.
Just proof that he is STILL stalking me. You know where I work how?? Unbelievable. I’m not safe anywhere.
Update: Just had 90 (yes 90) adds on snap this morning. My ex is harassing me nonstop, and has now apparently given my snap code out. So many attempted dick pics. Didn’t you say I love dick honey? Thanks!
Update: He created a new Twitter just to harass my boyfriend and I. Used the state’s evidence (a picture of my injuries) as his profile picture. What actual demon kind of non human??
Two years ago today. I’ve moved on, but I’ll never let this die for the sake of other girls who weren’t so lucky.
