I've posted alot here in PTO but no one really knows the whole story. I think it might be theraputic to get it all out!!!

When Ray and I met, I didnt really like him. I thought we could be friends but the 14 year age difference kinda bothered me. His mother was ill and introduced me to him one night. We sat on the porch and talked for hours. The next night, same thing! I was growing to like him! I told him everything. He was one of those guys that you felt you could tell your life to and they'd understand and not judge you.
One night I went to work and he came with me (I cleaned red cross buildings). I got home and my roommate said that Will my ex had called. I took the phone (and Ray) and went to the garage to call him back. He said some rude things and Ray was getting mad at that. The kneeled down, started kissing and licking my arm. Then he bit me and hard!!! Then he walked out the door. After I got off the phone with Will, I had a few drinks at home then walked across he street to Ray's mom's (where he lived). He took my drink and poured it down the sink said to me " you dont need to be drinking". He apologized to me for biting me and said he didnt like guys that treat women like that!
We watched tv for a while and he asked me to stay the night and I agreed. We got intimate. He and I fell asleep. Next morning he went to work, I stayed.
About three weeks after we first met I was having roommate trouble and wanted to move. He insisted I move into his home. His mom had just died and he was depressed! I was reluctant to agree but caved after he begged me.
A few more weeks past by and things were great. We had talked about getting married and trying to have a baby. He was working and doing great. I was working and loving my job! It was almost christmas and I decided he should meet my family. We drove to mom's and right away she told him if he hurts me she would kill him!! He just kinda laughed and told her he'd never hurt me and he hated guys that did that!!
things went great for a while, then we had a fight he backed my up to the wall yelling at me and I punched him in the mouth! He threw me onto the bed and covered my mouth because I was screaming. I scratched his ear and face to get him off because I couldnt breath. After he got off me I told him I was leaving. He started crying and begging me to stay. Telling me he just freaked out and his anger got the best of him. Promised it wouldnt happen again. I told him if it did I'd be gone!!
On March 19th, after he had been up all week almost smoking meth, (not an excuse) he told me he was tired of me not loving him. Just out of the blue like that. I asked him if he was f**king stupid. I had quit my job because he didnt like me being out after dark. He slapped me around a bit and sat in front of me and snorted a line of meth and was smoking it too!!
I was tired of his drug use and decided to give him a taste of his own medicine. He had Seriquil for his bi-polar, to help him sleep. I opened the bottle and took a whole handful! He said what are you doing and I told him I was going to die to prove to him that I loved him!! Later he locked us into the bathroom and told me I was gonna die so I better start praying! He was asking me how the "other guy's penis felt inside me". He was being parinoid. He kept slapping me in the had and I told him if I was gonna die it wouldnt be by his hand. About 7 hours later (about 9am) my mother was calling and wanting to talk to me I was almost comatose. The left side of my face was paralysed from the meds. She said she was on her way and he told her what I did. I was rushed to the hospital almost dead!
After I was discharged, I slept for three days.
Things were ok after that. On May 5th we found out I was pregnant. I was 10 weeks along and ray cried and held me for hours!!! Things were going good from then on untill I found out he was doing drugs again. I yelled and yelled at him. He just cried and said he was sorry. That he'd get help. Of course I believed him, Ibelievedin him. I thought we were going to be a family! I gave him the choice to go to IOP (a psych hospital) or I was gonna leave him!! He said he'd go tomorrow! It was always tomorrow!
the drugs got worse, the fights became more frequent and the accusations of me cheating became more intense. On my mother's graduation from college, he hit me with a broom handle and told me he was tired of me screwing around!! I had to wear long sleeves to her graduation that it was like 85 degrees in the auditorium. And me 3 1/2 months pregnant.
I continued to stay and love this man. On July 1st we went to wal-mart and he just walked off and left me in the store. When I found him he was mad because he was "looking for me". We went to the car and I let him have it. I was tired of him disappearing on me and tired of him leaving me for hours at the house while he was God knows where! I was mid sentence and he slapped me in the mouth. I had it! I opened the door of the car and stepped out he grabed my shirt and ripped it, I just kept walking! He ran after me and I screamed. He was freaking out. Begged me to get back into the car and go home to "talk it over". So I did. I sat outside the house smoking a cigarettee and debated with myself if I should go in or go to the neighbor to call my mother. He was crying and begging me to come inside and talk this out.!!
When I finally went inside he locked the doors and closed the blinds. told me to get naked!! I didnt understand why. He slapped me and repeated, Get naked! I did. He hid my clothes. Told me to sit in the rocking chair. He told me I was gonna start talking about who I was cheating on him with and what was going on in his home. He got the broom and told me to hold my feet out. I was crying and told him I'd tell him anything but I wasnt cheating and I wasnt doing anything. He hit my feet with the broom handle. And then went to the bathroom and got soap, two bars of Irish Spring soap. Put then in a sock and told me it wouldnt leave bruises! He swong the soap and hit the top of my foot, he then hit the top of my head twice and I put my hands on my head. He hit me two more times and my rings (apology gifts) were crushed onto my fingers. He threw a small towel at me and told me once I got over the discustingness of my body I could leave. I tried to get the door unlocked but he ran out of the kitchen and threw my head against the steel door, busting my lip. Knocking the $85 picture (that I bought) onto the floor. Not sure if it was the broken glass or the butcher knife in his had that cut me but my left hand between thumb and forefinger was cut open. I was trying to swollow the blood and tell him I was sorry for that. He grabed my hair and pulled me along the floor!! Made me stand at the end of the hall way and threw kitchen knives at me like the magicians do. I kept ducking into the open door next to me. I told him I had to pee and he told me to pee right there in the hall way. Then I told him I didnt have to anymore and he told me that when he was done, all he'd have to do is say "boo" and I'd piss myself. So I squatted and peed on the floor. He told me to lick it up and I begged him not to make me. He said to do it and while I was drinking my urine he was gonna "f**K me in the a** like I had been doing him these past 7 months. I cried and begged him not to. and he told me if I didnt let him he was gonna use the broom. I leanded down to do what I was told and he said "I'm just kidding, dumba**!!" Laughing he asked why I wasnt crying, I told him I couldnt cry anymore. He said he'd make me. He got right in my face and told me if he found out I was cheating or the baby in my stomach wasnt his he'd kill my family starting with my 4 year old sister. I lost it. I cried and begged him not to! He took me into the living room and told me to "s**k his d**k". So I tried. It wasnt good enough. He threw my head off him and told me to get on my hands and knees. IU thought he was just gonna have sex with me. That's how it started and then he was trying to sodomize me. I kept pulling away and he said the more I fought the more he'd hurt me. He took a towel and put it over my eyes and began to sodomize me. I burried my face and cried! I thought it would never end. I cried and begged him to stop. He said tell me you love it. So I just repeated "I love it, I love it". Then he just stopped. he took the towel and cleaned himself off. He saw my hand was bleeding. HE took me to the bathroom and cleaned my hand and was kissing me. He said I was his everything and he couldnt bear to be with out me. I was in such pain and I couldnt sit down right. He put a towel on the toilet seat and told me (nicely) to sit down. I could feel the blood dripping off me. I stood up and he saw the blood, he laughed! We got into the shower and he was not apologetic, he was more trying to justify his anger. We went to bed and I thought it was over.
The next day I tried to pretend it never happened. He mowed the lawn and I cleaned the house. It was about 7pm and we decided to call it a day. We got in the shower (together as always). Got out the shower, got dressed to go to dinner. We were laying on the bed and he asked me to hand him his shorts that he had on earlier. I did, he pulled out a voice recorder. Hit play and asked who's voice it was on there with mind. I told him I didnt know!! He said it was Travis. His friend. I said no it wasnt. We hadnt seen Travis for a few days. He got the knife (again) and held it, pressed to the back of my neck and me crying and played the tape 15 times in a row. He punched me in the mouth and screamed at me to tell him who it was. Just then the phone rang. Only thought was thank you GOD!! It was my mother. She had been calling for the past two days and Ray had unplugged the phone. He let me talk to her on speaker phone. I was talking to her and he tapped the knife on my knee. I started to forget he was there! And just talked to my mom. She invited us over to her house for the fourth of July. Ray shook his head and I told her we'd be there. After I hung up the phone I realized that the "unknown voice" was mine. I told him exactly what I was doing and what was said. He dropped the knife and the recorder and cried. He said why I hadnt told him that before. I told him I didnt remember untill I had calmed down. He fell to his knees and cried. He held me as we both cried. He said he needed help for his drug use and his anger. But he never apologized!!! The only time he apologized was in court at his sentencing hearing because the judge made him.

I'm sorry this is so long I had to tell the whole story!!!!

hmmarshall, I also wanted to add that it might be helpful if you have not done so already, to go to a rape survivor's group. I am so sorry that you are going through all of this. This post made me cry...and I have never cried from a post before, or felt so angry from a post before...I just feel for you. I just read it and was thinking, 'I wish she was angry'...where is your anger? You do not deserve this from this 'man' as hope4future said. I have never said this on this forum before, but I am honestly sorry he did not get more time than what he did. You do not deserve what happened to you, and I only hope that you will somehow come to realize that. We are all here to support you.

God Bless you.........Your story sounds so much like what life was like at home when us kids were growing up. Hang in there and keep telling your story there are many out there still living the nightmare and it takes a survivor who knows.
I didnt realize until I saw your site that your with him and wanted to edit my response and say that
I really hope that you seek out help and understand that this is only the beginning and that you need to look out for yourself and that baby your carring and get away from him completely. Your young and deserve better than what he's given. Think of the child and your family/little sister.

I went through a point where I still loved and wanted to be with him. I had him arrested on July 7th and he plead guilty on Oct.13th (Friday the 13th). I've waivered back and forth about wanting him to have a relationship with his child, but the more I thought about it and really thought about my child the more I realize she's my child not his a sperm donor doesn't make you a daddy!! I am never going back to him and the only thing I'm sorry about is that he didnt get more time !!!! Some people dont deserve even half the time they get but he needs more!!!!!
He got 10 years for the CDV and 8 for the CSC to run concurrently!! He'll be out Oct 17 2013

Babydoll, you just made my day! I know I was a little rough on you in some of your threads, but it was because I hated the idea of you giving one more day of your precious life to this @$#%, and hated even more the idea of your baby girl being exposed to him.
I am so proud of you! I am literally in tears, I am that happy about your decision to take back your life.

you remember to come back and re-read that post every time you feel yourself weakening
you can be a wonderful mother
you are about to begin a whole new chapter in your life ..very soon
all of that hurt and fear is gone from your life as it is now
make sure to try very hard everyday to keep your baby safe from ever having to see those type things
she was born of the both of you and you can choose to believe she has the best of him and the rest of him is useless

stay strong and be the best mother in the world

You know it feels good to finally get the truth out and be able to read it. I've tried to ignore it for a while now. And everyday I see the scars he put on my body, they stopped bothering me until a few days ago! I'm starting to turn inside and look at those scars, scars that will take a long time to heal. But I have faith in myself that they will heal. As a person who has removed her rose colored glasses, I should have never went back after he bit me in the very begining! Hindsight is 20/20

In many other threads you've inquired on how to get him out sooner and you've said you plan to stick by him. Call me crazy, but I'm confused.

12-20-2006, 10:51 PM
Hon, if you've finally started to see him for what he really is, then many congratulations to you!!!!!
Now, give yourself some training in staying strong and clear about the decision - get to a therapist!!! You need a rape counselor, and you need a domestic violence counselor. They can explain the holes this has put in your soul and start to help you fill them. You can't do this on your own; no-one does. If it feels good to start healing, you might think you are all done with the process, but there's a great deal left to work on, so don't stop.

heather take some really good advise
it's very very painful to let go even after all the things he did
that's why quite a few of us almost insist you get professional help
it's imperative for complete understanding of your situation and to get past the past

for real it may seem like another "weak" or "embarrasing" thing to consider but they are there for you and they have the coping skills to teach you to keep going on with your new life and never look back

This country is getting more and more a single parent society so you're in good company
When you get mentally healthy and recover from this new baby coming in the world you will see how bright your future is

and I'm certain there's a GOOD MAN out here who WILL show you how nice love feels and be a willing partner to help you raise this baby girl



HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND LOVE THAT BABY WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART

hmmarshall, I have been reading your posts from the beginning and have seen some people become rude with you. I am sorry for that and for thier mean comments. I told you a long time ago that I wouldn't know what I would do in if I was in your shoes but I had always said I believed I would walk away. I knew that it would be in your own time. Girl I am proud of you. I never knew your full story but this is just disgusting! You are an intelligent woman with a loving mom and there is a man out there for you and your new baby. Trust me I found one for myself and my son. It took until my son was 2 1/2 but I found a loving husband and daddy. It's like they say anyone can be a Father but it takes someone special to be a Daddy. You post really touched me, more than your previous. I hope that everytime you think about going back you remember the story. Heck you have 10+ years. Also remember do you want your child to go through what you did or be like him? Keep your head up girl you have your mom and your family here at PTO that will back you up whenever you need it.
...You've come a long way baby!...

PS I know today 12/22 is when you are to have your baby. Prayers are with you!

You know I give here credit because she has decided not to be with this person who did some awful things to her. She comes on here saying he raped her and people were wondering why she stayed with him. Instead of demoralizing her body he should have treated it like a temple. She asked advice and she got it. I don't see where anyone was rude with her until she kept defending him. But for her sake i am glad she relaized that he is not a good person. Someday she will find someone that will treat her like the queen she should be treated like. Hm good luck to you and your baby.

Bi-Polar and meth -- what a great combination.
I'm so glad that you are rid of him. If everything had continued, one of you would have probably been dead.

I truly hope that he get's whatever help he needs -- but you should never go back to him no matter how he appears to have changed. Don't ever take that chance.

OMG, First Post I have ever Read that brought tears to my eyes.
I have been in similar situations with my children's father. I still remember it all so clearly, the feelings of hopelessness, the degrading insults and commands, the feelings of wanting to just crawl up and Die because the situation is so horrible. I really didn't believe in the Devil until I met him and saw the devil through His eyes. I now realize that there ARE Evil and Cruel people out there that are just DARK.
Good Luck to you, I know that those memories have to be hard. I sometimes feel like I'm having anxiety attacks and can't breath re-living some of my memories. I can sit here and cry just thinking about them.

I just reread this post! And it seems like I'm reading someone elses story, not my own. For some reason, it's like a bad dream somedays. Like I'll wake up and all the bad stuff will be a nightmare and I'll have the "good man" I remember back! I just dont want to look back in 10 years and have any regrets. Even if I never see him again, which I doubt, I dont want to think to myself "if only I had tried again" or "if only I had given him a second chance" and dammit I WONT DO THAT!!! Sorry this post really makes no sense!! Well there we have it!!!

I would like to say good for you. The decision you made not to stay is the best one. I have read your posting about wanting to get him out, I honestly think you were just panicing. It's normal to panic a specailly after being abused like you have. It's also true you may be scared of what might happen if he gets out. Not to mention the amount of guilt you must feel right now. This comes from the emotional abuse you went through while being physically abused. Abuser play on our feelings, fears and any thing else they can to weak who we are, do complete destroy us, so we stay. I advise that you get counceling for yourself. I never did and now it is affect my life in ways I never thought that it would. You may still at times think maybe you should take him back, that maybe you were wrong for making the choice you did, stay strong. Build a support group, friends and family are going to be verry important now, not saying they weren't before. I think you should probably stop communicating with him as well. This will be hard but it will be better for you. He may try to make you feel guilty and he may try to munipulate you into taking him back.

My brother a few years ago body slammed me to the ground, one inch over and I would have been parolized from the waist down. I called the cops on him and the state took over, there was nothing I could do to get the case dropped. My brother begged me to please go to court with him and testify that I didnt want charges pressed. AT the time I did, but I felt bad for him. He is my brother and I love him dearly. The court said it was too late and they didn't listen to me. I felt guilty for pressing charges and calling the cops. I thought it was my fault and that my brother was going to hate me for the rest of my life. We have talked about this day over the years and he shows no remorse for what he did, even laughs about it. My guilt has sense left and I tell him this when ever he laughs about it. Once in a while he tries and to make me feel guilty for what happened, telling me he cant do this and that and the other thing. I tell him if he hadn't done what he did, he would still have this that and the other thing. I currently don't talk to him very often, mostly cause I am mad he laughs about what happened. My point being, abuser's will try any thing to make you feel bad, and its best to just not to communicate with them.

We are all here to help you through this, if you need an ear or advise. My heart and prays will go out to you, stay strong.

where was your Mother through all of this? she must have seen signs and did not grab your A.. out of their sooner? I am so sorry you have been through all that you have been through but sweet heart if I was you I would run for my life and that babies life by leaving town, change your name and go find a new life for yourself.

he will become a born again God loving man as long as there's a razor wire outside his window
as soon as he's out and left to his own devices he will become a more horrific man than ever before
all the time he's locked up will in fact build a bigger monster


Heather
I have been reading and following your posts and I seem to see that you are in the mindset to be over with the fantasy of happily ever after and are beginning to see that Bella is your priority

Good for you
I hope you continue the healing and I do hope all is well and gets better each day

You have every chance anyone else has to become all you can be and his hold on you is weakening so the possibilities are endless

Between you , your little sister and Bella I hope your family has the chance to end the cycle of abuse and never see it again in your lives

i'm sorry thet creep hurt you like that:angry: .please don't go bac to him-please.i survived my husband beating me too-i have epilepsy cuz he would hit me in the head like MT T.did ROCKY in ROCKY3.i feel so sic sometimes.after the divorce we each got joint custody which he never honored.he still beat me on the regular whenever i went to see my daughter.he slipped me a mickey on my 30 birthday.when i came to he was standing over me and all his friends were lined up waiting:eek: .i used to think who picked me to play BEAUTY?:blah:
i'm so sorry he did those things to you:( .i met my fiancee 2 years after the divorce-the year before i met him my x broke down my door and beat me on the couch then he shot at me:eek: !!when i met my fiancee i always feared that he would do something to him but he took it out on me ofcourse.he knew that i would never just leave our daughter.when i fell in love with JAMIE my ex tortured me for the whole 5 years me and JAMIE were together(the last 2 years JAMIE been on the inside).i wouldn't/couldn't leave my daughter.i was obsessed with making sure she was alright.i would sneak to his house and peek in the window.i would run after her if i saw them at the store,down the street.JAMIE held me so many nights.we had our fights too.we broke up a couple times but we always got bac together.he couldn't leave me no more than i could have left my daughter-he knew that bastird wanted me dead.now i know that there was nothing JAMIE could have done that he wasn't already doing if my x had killed me but he would have never forgiven hisself.i can remember fearing EVERYDAY that he was gonna kill me.he ran me over with his sedan deville(cadillac).for a while we lived in the country and he threatened to kill us all.h3ll we had 7 kids between us both(my 3 and his 3plus his 13 yr.old brother).even after i left him he still had my daughter which means i was never free from him.he died in 2005(JAMIE had been in prison for 2 yrs?now that we can live our life my love is in pison.even in death that man hasn't let me go.please don't go bac to him:( :( .he will use your daughter to hurt you.remember when you said he asked you why aren't you crying?--HONEY HE WILL HURT YOUR BABY TO MAKE YOU CRY.he sounds like the man i divorced.i walked 120 miles TWICE to find JOHNNY COCHRAN cuz i couldn't take it anymore.if my x knew i was on that highway he would have killed me and noone would have known the wiser-but everyone knew how he beat me.my small town left me to my own ends-police,schools,hospital too.bac then i had started keeping all paperwork for when i did find JOHNNY COCHRAN-i was seriously gonna expose everything.now that he's gone i still have that duffle bag full of nightmares.i have my daughter with me and she is safe(we all are emotionally scarred) i know i would do the same thing if i had to.she knows some of what i went through cuz i wouldn't leave her.she doesn't know ALL the stuff he did to me.i said that to say this IF YOU TAKE HIM BAC YOU WILL BE PUTTING THAT BABY IN YOUR NIGHTMARE:eek: :eek: .just remember that.i' not saying he will like burn her skin or bite her but i can see him pinching her--to make you cry and give in(the bastird).my husband knew that if he ever hurt babygirl i was going straight to MAURY:idea: :idea: :idea: .i had the guts to expose him but i never had a way to do it:thumbsup: :thumbsup: .so he never hurt her to get at me he just made sure i knew he was in control.i think you are a VERY STRONG woman.some of the things he did to you were so lunatic-i wouldn't put it past him to make you put your urine in your baby's bottle.i'm not trying to anger you i'm trying to show you that fear HE WILL SHOW YOU if you take him bac.and you know if yall get bac together(you got a daughter now)and he uses or drinks he will go to more drastic extremes.he has done so many things to you that he gonna have to find other ways to torture you-THE BABY.i know we hear stories where the couple made it through drugs,alcohol but do you want to go through all this again just so years from now you can say we made it through?do you want to chance ISABELLAS emotions just to say we made it through?now i think if i had left my daughter to be raised by her father i could have lived a normal enough life.she probably would have too.just without her mother AND THAT WASNT AN OPTION.NEVER girl you are something else!!that man did so many things to you.he hurt and degraded you in some of the worst ways.HE WILL FOREVER BE WAITING ON THE DAY HE CAN MAKE YOU LOSE YOUR DAMM MIND-whether you take him bac or not.just don't put yourself around him SURELY DON'T PUT ISABELLA AROUND HIM.

he will become a born again God loving man as long as there's a razor wire outside his window
as soon as he's out and left to his own devices he will become a more horrific man than ever before
all the time he's locked up will in fact build a bigger monster


Most are "god loving" while in prison...As soon as they step foot out the gate "god" is left behind for when they return.:rolleyes:

Bi Polar disorder and Meth is a deadly combination. Being off Bi Polar Meds or adding meth can cause someone to go 51/50. He is a sick person and he needs help. I am sorry you are going through this. I know you love him and are having his child but when he starts doing drugs its time to run. You have to tell him that for the sake of his health and your family you need him to seek help. It is a never ending cycle unless he does.

I guess this is an old post....
