I guess sometimes mandatory reporting is a good thing

I kind of freaked out reading about the damage that can be caused by being strangled by someone and the fact that it increases the likelihood that they'll kill you by like 750% which is freaking crazy.

So I called the ER locally and asked him if I came in with a DV injury would that mean they had to call the police or what.
Didn't give him a name but they traced me next thing I know within 15-20 minutes I got a knock on the door.

Anyway, I told them what happened downstairs in the driveway. She took pictures got everything on her body cam. So it was a male and a female officer, and I guess the sergeant came along for fun. (Probably because my house has been in their records because of my teenage son's angst and his proclivity to calling them when we get into arguments and telling them that I was being a horrible mother blah blah blah.😒🙄

They put me in the back of their car while they went upstairs to talk to her. Now what's funny is that we've got cameras in the house, for when we go out of town to watch the cats and make sure the house is okay. So basically I had my phone on me and I watched the entire thing in the living room.
She didn't argue or anything like that. She knew better cuz she's had a record. However, she basically said that I came at her and that she didn't remember any of the threats or any of it blamed it on the medication and yeah...
I know that there must have been defensive wounds on her arm because the second time tonight I was holding my hand on her arm and digging my nails in trying to get her off me.

Anyway they took her in cuffs and said that they had medical accommodations in prison for her so now I'm alone in my house with the doors locked and I'm not quite sure what tomorrow will bring I'm in a lot of pain and I am a little swollen. I plan to go to the hospital and make sure that I get some x-rays and get checked out cuz it is scary. But it's 2:00 in the morning and I've got to try to get at least a few hours of sleep maybe I'll go in at like 6:00 I don't know...

Again sorry for the run-ons talk to text is stupid LOL

I haven't told anyone about any of this none of my actual IRL friends. I sent one message to one person who I consider a daughter. Earlier today I emailed my kid and told them I was sorry and that I expected that River and I were going to break up and that I was sorry for the wedge that she had put between us. But as far as my best friends that I have known since elementary school that have been with me through everything in this world I haven't said a word
So thank you all for being here. You truly are a family away from family home away from home etc I'll keep you posted as soon as I get back from the hospital I'll just reply to this thread so I don't start another one and clog up the internets 😆
