Hi. I am from Texas, of course. lol. My husband has to go to court in a few weeks to enter a plea for domestic violence charges. At the time of the incident, they asked if i wanted to press charges and i said no. The incident happened just a year ago. He was acting all crazy, which he had been doing for a very long time, due mostly to drugs. This particular night he came up to me while i was sitting on the couch and slapped me hard on the face. He did this 3 times. When he was coming back for the 4th time, i tried to grab his private area, in some kind of self defense. Which made it worse. I got away but he was still going around like a lunatic and i was freaking out so i called the police. All i really wanted him to do was leave the house, but when the police got here and they asked if he hit me i said yes and they said they had to take him in. they asked if i wanted to press charges and i specifically said no. There hasnt been anymore empisodes. I am only still here because i have nowhere to go, no job, and i have a 17 yr old son. a few months ago i got a letter from the DA wanting me to fill out some papers about what happened, etc. I didnt fill them out because i thought it would get him in more trouble. Like i said, now he has to go enter a plea and i was wondering, if i didnt press charges then why is the DA after him, and what would he be facing, would i have to go to court? This whole thing is embarrassing and disgusting, and i do not and will not stick up for him. Like i said, i don't even want to be here.
