THE AFTERMATH - SURVIVING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Updated: Nov 22, 2021

AVE MARIA - (Hail Mary)

SALVE, Regina, Mater misericordiae, vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes in hac lacrymarum valle. Eia ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte. Et Jesum benedicutum fructum ventris tui, nobis, post hoc exsilium ostende. O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.

Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genitrix.

Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi.

AMEN

EMERGENCY ROOM VISIT DUE TO INJURIES SUSTAINED IN DECEMBER 2020

Further testing ordered on above, ER Doctor says I need an MRI on pelvic too, this is completely new injuries due to the spouse I am divorcing, assaulted in December 2020.

*************************************************************************

Testing done on the Cervical is below, showing additional new injuries as a result of EPO/DVO that was filed, from/over assault upon me by the spouse in December 2020.

C1 to C5 are old injuries stemming from April 1992.

C5 to C7 are totally new injuries stemming from December 2020.

Domestic Violence is a real issue. I was abused for the last 17 years by this man I have a pending divorce coming from. Why does someone stay with someone whose abusing them? Oh, believe me, I have asked myself this question so much. Repeated abuse, some much more violent than other incidences he perpetrated upon me and my body.

These are just the injuries from December 2020, the last extreme violent crime committed upon my person by the spouse I married back in 2004, and these aren't all the injuries from this one incident, more testing is going to be done. This was one of the extreme incidences, he aimed to kill me this night, he repeatedly kept saying that he was killing me and he won't do a day in prison over it, as he was inflicting severe punishment and taking me to point of death over and over, enjoying making me suffer every second.

More testing will be following, as I have already been doing, and receiving treatment for, the list of total physical injuries just keeps growing, of the pain and suffering he so did inflict, that he rained down upon me.

At first, doctors thought that with a little time that things would get better, this was based on preliminary hope of it just being pulled muscles and things along that line, but as all can see, all this time has gone by and things did not and have not got better, and I continued to complain and to need medical and it shows the reason why nothing has got better even after all this time. I have done nothing but rest and take it easy and the result is that it is much more than just my neck injury and it is by far not a pulled muscle or muscle damage in the groin. I have a fractured pelvic and that is what an X-ray is showing and it also shows that there is much more likely, extremely likely that there is much more further damages done than this.

Domestic Violence – What Exactly Is It?

Domestic violence (also named domestic abuse or family violence) is violence or other abuse in a domestic setting, such as in marriage or cohabitation. Domestic violence is often used as a synonym for intimate partner violence, which is committed by one of the people in an intimate relationship against the other person and can take place in heterosexual or same-sex relationships or between former spouses or partners. In its broadest sense, domestic violence also involves violence against children, parents, or the elderly. It takes multiple forms, including physical, verbal, emotional, economic, religious, reproductive, and sexual abuse, which can range from subtle, coercive forms to marital rape and to violent physical abuse such as choking, beating, female genital mutilation, and acid throwing that results in disfigurement or death. Domestic murders (& injuries) include stoning, bride burning, honor killing, and dowry death (which sometimes involve non-cohabitating family members).

Domestic violence is among the most underreported crimes worldwide for both men and women, due to social stigmas.

Domestic violence often occurs when the abuser believes that abuse is an entitlement, acceptable, justified, or unlikely to be reported.

Many people do not recognize themselves as abusers or victims because they may consider their experiences as family conflicts that got out of control. Awareness, perception, definition, and documentation of domestic violence differ widely from country to country.

In abusive relationships, there may be a cycle of abuse during which tensions rise and an act of violence is committed, followed by a period of reconciliation and calm. The victims may be trapped in domestically violent situations through isolation, power, and control, traumatic bonding to the abuser, cultural acceptance, lack of financial resources, fear, shame, or to protect children. As a result of abuse, victims may experience physical disabilities, dysregulated aggression, chronic health problems, mental illness, limited finances, and a poor ability to create healthy relationships. Victims may experience severe psychological disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Not all DV is equivalent. Differences in frequency, severity, purpose, and outcome are all significant. DV can take many forms, including physical aggression or assault (hitting, kicking, biting, shoving, restraining, slapping, throwing objects, beating up, etc.), or threats thereof; sexual abuse; controlling or domineering; intimidation; stalking; passive/covert abuse (e.g. neglect); and economic deprivation. It can also mean endangerment, criminal coercion, kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, trespassing, and harassment.

Physical abuse is that involving contact intended to cause fear, pain, injury, other physical sufferings, or bodily harm. In the context of coercive control, physical abuse is to control the victim. The dynamics of physical abuse in a relationship are often complex. Physical violence can be the culmination of other abusive behavior, such as threats, intimidation, and restriction of victim self-determination through isolation, manipulation, and other limitations of personal freedom. Denying medical care, sleep deprivation, and forced drug or alcohol use, are also forms of physical abuse. It can also include inflicting physical injury onto other targets, such as children or pets, in order to cause emotional harm to the victim.

Strangulation (which is one of the things experienced in this particular incident of harm upon me) in the context of DV has received significant attention. It is now recognized as one of the most lethal forms of DV; yet, because of the lack of external injuries, and the lack of social awareness and medical training in regard to it, strangulation has often been a hidden problem. As a result, in recent years, many US states have enacted specific laws against strangulation.

Homicide as a result of DV makes up a greater proportion of female homicides than it does male homicides. More than 50% of female homicides are committed by former or current intimate partners in the US.

Among the physical abuse that I suffered, I also experienced at his reign of terror/violent control - (the man I am pending divorce from has a severe extreme anger management problem of inflicting violence and the ability to wrongfully take a life) -

Emotional or psychological abuse is a pattern of behavior that threatens, intimidates, dehumanizes, or systematically undermines self-worth; which is something most likely in all cases to whatever degree.

Some definitions and excerpts are from Wikipedia to help me get the message out and more comprehendible and understandable, & from organizations that help.

The remaining is from me, about my life and what I have experienced and gone thru.

I have gone thru many horrific things in my 57 years of life so far, and I have a message, I have the desire to help others not be victims of any of these types of crimes that have happened to me/upon me, to my physical, emotional, and psychological person.
