I had already lost a late term pregnancy because of his abuse. I brought the situation up only to say that in Georgia they really push shared custody and for the most part I think that's a good thing. Usually, parents should share custody.
But why didn't you report him? Why didn't the hospital officials report him?
You are just full of invasive questions. I don't understand how it is relevant to my point. I didn't go to a hospital. I went to Ray. His wife treated my wound (which wasn't deep, like I said) while he yelled at me for refusing to go to a hospital. Then I begged him to take me home before my husband got back (the guy who pulled him off me convinced him to go for a drive). I was terrified and probably a bit insane myself after having been through what I'd just been through. I told Ray how afraid I was and how angry my then husband would be if he got home and I wasn't there. I told Ray he just didn't understand and that it all happened because of me because I wasn't a good wife and I lacked faith and I begged him more to take me home. He promised he would in the morning but convinced me to let the kids sleep as they'd both fallen asleep. Then he held me on his couch the whole night and just laid there staring at the wall wishing I had died, knowing how much worse things would be in the morning because my then husband was going to be so angry. But at some point I fell asleep in Ray's lap and when I woke up we were all in their car and they were driving us to meet some people from the haven. My divorce didn't happen until much later as I spent a significant amount of time in hiding. A lot of crazy scary shit has happened since then, my exhusband's permanent residency was revoked and I am now living my life in peace. Should I have reported him? Probably. There's a lot of things I should have done back then. I spent long enough agonizing over it, hating myself for not being strong enough to leave sooner. I'm over that now. Shit happened. There's nothing I can do to change it. It was not the point of my post at all, but I hope you are now fully satisfied because I'm not answering any further questions.
