It was no accident

OMG Rainey
What happened? What did you tell the doctors? Is he still in the house? Are your kids ok? Did they see it?
I am at a loss for words right now.
You need to get out,I mean get out NOW. Enough is enough. Call a family member. Hell call his dad. Tell them what happened. I am boiling inside right now..........
Please talk to us.

rainey,

i don't want to go off half-cocked.  freud said that sometines a cigar is just a cigar.  did you in fact hurt YOURSELF by falling, getting electrocuted, etc?  if so, you still have my sincerere good wishes for a safe and quick recovery.

on the other hand, if SOMEONE put you into the hospital, safe yourself and your children.  possessions can always be replaced (or not - at my age i'm into getting rid of them) but your mind, body, and spirit ar4e much more precious.

did you call the police?  what action, if any did they take?  have you been in touch with a shelterr?  sometimes they ae listed in the phone book, sometimes a minister can refer you.  also, tomorrow is a work day, get a restraining order against this other person.  it won't stop fists and kicks, but it will enable the legal system to do its thing (unfortunately, it isn't always very much).

rainey, i hurt for you.  my daughter was in an abusive marriage for almost 5 yrs before she broke out.  the scars aer healed over, but the scar tissue shown at times.

hope this helps.

rainey, your abusive relationship sounds like mine. i never thought i would be able to get away so my only hope was for him to kill me. unfortunately, he never went that far. then i found a shelter until i could move in to a trasitional home for battered women. i took my 10 year old and my 2 year old. was it an ideal situation for them? of course not! but it was ideal compared to staying with dad. he never touched the boys but my older one was scared for me. the transitional home ended up being a blessing because it showed my boys that i cared enough about them to get them out of that environment and though i didn't realize it at the time, i showed them i was strong enough to leave. i ended up being a good example to my kids out of a horrible situation. it's been 5 years now and we've never recieved child support because my ex has no idea where we are and i intend to keep it that way. we struggle financially and i have suffered from depression my entire life, but you know what? my boys know their mother is safe, they know i won't put up with abuse anymore and i trust that they learned a big lesson on how to treat women. please keep us posted, but if we don't hear from you for a while, i pray that it's because your in a shelter!

holly,

there aer ways around your ex finding you and still having him paychild support (which is his moral oblication).  have him pay 9it into the court.  th court thn pays you.  if he gets "late" with the child support, the court is in a position to take action.

this system is not fool-proof and differs from state to state andby locality to locality.  but it is something you could consider.  those children didn't just jump out of your head as if you were a roman goddess.  he particiated in their creation as much as you did.

just a suggestion fo ryou to consider.

every time i tried to leave, i got caught and beat for it. mine only destroyed one phone, but he would normally take the batteries out of the phone when he would leave. no live in sitter for me, but he always had people watching me. i figured that out when i took a walk with my baby to the apartments mailbow one day. my eyes were peeled and no sign of him, yet he knew exactly when i went outside and what i was wearing and how nervous i looked. one day, he left the battery in the phone and i took a terrifying moment and called the local sheriff's office. i asked if someone would come over and assist me in leaving safely. i let them know there was no time for lengthy details. we hung up, he came home & dialed *67. he obviously figured out i made a call and to whom, and started to beat me. the cops got there JUST in time! by the time he got out of jail, he had no idea where i was. i pray that you look for an opportunity like that and that it works out. keep in mind, it took me numerous attempts before i succeeded. if, God forbid you end up in the hospita again, you've got to tell someone the truth. i know they will seperate you two to confirm your "story". use that or any opportunity to get away. right now, that's all you have to do is get away. i know you feel weak honey, but there isn't a stronger woman out there than a battered woman. do you realize the strength it takes to endure and survive that? please keep posting. i can't get you off my mind.

Something is not right here...
Elisha? I am not feeling right about this at all...I am not sure why.

just this morning I woke up thinking about this and something didn't feel right.  Why wouldn't the hospital ask questions about the injuries?  Why did she not tell them what happened if she was packing to leave?  Why can she not email the relatives?  Why would a man babysitter allow someone to be locked up their own house?  It sounds like a horror movie!  I hope you can get somewhere with this one.

I know physicians and the hospitals are supossed to report domestic violence. Does anyone know his profession?

She hasn't said his profession,we don't know alot of details.
I worry about the kids as well.
If he is beating her so severe to have caused a broken leg I can just imagine what he is doing to the kids.
A woman can only protect them so much. But,after reading back are we just assuming they have kids?
Maybe I need to go back into the posts further for hints.
