abused single mother
I have encounted several injustices with my ex-boyfriend leading to the path of the tragedy that happened 2 weeks ago. In our small community, the local police new the description of my vehicle and the abuser for every 911 call that was made from me. We had 27 incidents in Portage County before he actually did some "real" time if you want to call it. 6 months in a DUI recovery center, with tv's, games and room full of men because the jail was over populated. All after the phone harassement, threatening my life and my families on tape, felonius assault against my self and my mother, breaking the civil protection order more than I can count on both hands and from day one until this day and forever, I am still looking over my shoulder. Nothing was ever taken serious enough and I am so tired of hearing about their rights (abusers or first time jailers) when my rights have been obstructed for the REST of my life and my childrens' too. This can't hit home any further than it actually happening to me. I am so sorry,so sad and so angry that the justice system stinks with this and any other violent crime that is not taken more seriously. Women are killed everyday due to stalkers, etc and nothing has been changed. I will do my part do nag and harass the courts and anyone who will listen to get our laws change. I didn't have a dry eye in this episode....I just pray to God for all and hope we can fix this. I apologize for the rambling due to late night writing but I just had to get this off of my chest because I can relate and know first hand (just not to this extreme THANK GOD) that the justice system is not on our sides. Again, I pray for this family. I am so sorry.
