Not sure what exactly the laws are, and how they work. But if anyone has experience or input, feel free!
To keep it as brief and simple as possible: and brutally honest to keep advice accurate:
-I wake up at 6am every day. My girl at the time was out with her sister, so I text her, if she's stays out past midnight, to stay at her moms with her little sister.
-At 2am, she's drunk pounding on my door. Her sister's car is still running in the drive way, so I just ignore it, hoping she'll leave.
-She comes around to the bedroom window and starts pounding on that.
-I finally just answer the door, she stumbles in pissed off. I tell her, "I have to wake up at 6am, I work 12 hour days, I can't deal with this at 2am".
-While telling her this, she turns around. I grab her shoulder to point her in my direction.
-This sets her off even more. I turn around, to go to bed and walk past her. While going to bed, she runs in front of me, asking "what are you going to do? hit me? Go ahead, hit me, do it (repeats a few time with arm gestures).
-I did. I didn't haul off an punch her, I gave her a wrist slap on the cheek, and told her to shut up, "i'm going to bed".
I went to bed.
-She starts grabbing my things and throwing them on the ground. She grabs my business phone/machine with all my customers info on it and picks it up over her head and says "look what I got, look what I got".
-I get out of bed, cause I've not acknowledged anything at this point. I take the phone/machine from her. I pick her up, open my front door, and force her out the door. She fell when I pushed her out.
-I called her brother to come get her, while waiting she breaks out a window, and tries climbing through. I push her back out and her brother pulls in. I ask him to get her out. he does.
-The next day, the cops contact me, she wants to press charges.
-I explain everything to the officer, he implies that it sounds like she was taunting me. I tell him, I did not do it perfect, but I can't let someone just break everything in my house.
-He tells me, if he thought I was guilty of anything, he'd have to arrest me. That was all he could say as far as being charged. He did say though, he has to turn it over to the prosecutor because she wants to move forward with charges.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you guys, I'm some perfect guy that always keeps his cool. But I'm not a basher, and don't want that label. she got a slap on the cheek for jumping around and flailing in front of me, telling me to hit her, and get pushed out a door for trying to break my belongings.
Problem is, I think if you spank your kids butt, you get charged with child abuse. Spank your girls butt, probably DV. And I'm not sure if the prosecutor will be as understanding as the officer was.
