This brave mother tells her story about how she kept her child safe. She was brave and lucky to get out of the relationship before things got worse. Thank you for your story and for making the right choice for yourself and your son.
This was 12 years ago
My son was three.
Dad had only been out of Huntsville state pen. For seven months.
He stayed home all day drinking vodka the day it happened. He kept the baby out of daycare that day.
I worked 12 hours at a car dealership and drove a demo so he could have a car to take the baby to daycare.
There were signs that he had anger issues .
I knew there was going to be trouble as soon as I walked in. Before the night was over I had dropped the baby over a chain link fence to get the neighbors to call the police. They showed up and arrested dad and he left in a police car.
While he was locked up they got his meds straight. It was the first time he put his hands on me. I was strong enough to make a stand. I knew it was not a stable environment for a child. The stress of being afraid. Of not knowing when the next meltdown was coming.
We never let daddy come home agian. He eventually got distracted by another women. We saw him twice after he got out of jail.
Last summer the baby wanted to meet daddy. I totally supported his efforts to make contact. With inner dread. He searches by name and birthday .daddy is on the social security listed as deceased. Closure after years of fear.
My son is well adjusted. Normal teenager. We were lucky. There is life after men. And ours is good. I own my home. We have come along way since that cold January night.
You must be strong and know you can live a good life as soon as you get away from the danger nobody should be afraid in there own home.
you have the strength to achieve success without drama. You must protect yourself above all else.
