My husband was arrested on domestic battery. He and I got into an argument and things got heated police were called. About 5 years ago, I was in a very abusive relationship. It emotionally scarred me and I've suffered from the after affects ever since. That night, I pushed my husband several times over a stupid little thing that made no sense. He turned away from me and pushed me to get me off him. I fell up against the wall and got a scratch on my back. I snapped. I threatened to call police and he demanded my cell phone. Long story short, I refused to give it to him and broke our bathroom sink. I then locked myself in the bathroom and texted a friend to call police. It’s like my brain automatically went into protective mode. My past experience took over my psyche. It's like what I should have done 5 years ago happened that night with my husband. My husband is now being charged with a level 6 felony because our daughter witnessed it. She's 2 years old. In the police report, I put the opposite statement. Basically, I said he pushed me several times. I'm scared because I don't want to go to jail but I can't allow him to get a felony when I know what really happened. I recanted to his lawyer and now I'm not sure what comes next. I'm a good person and no liar. I just don't know what happened to me that night. I've never been in trouble and have no criminal history.
