Should I have him charged?

Question

I was in an abusive marriage for 7 years. I have been away from my husband for 1 year but just can't stop thinking about him, bitterly! He physically abused me alot but seems to think that I did the wrong thing by him and is bitter at me for leaving him. It doesn't help that his family support him and make him believe that it is all my fault ( and his girlfriend before me and the one before her) The only way I feel I can get over this bitterness is to have him punished for what he has done to me and to prove that he did do something wrong, not only for me but for all of the other women he has done it to and will do it to. I have had to move states away from everything I know and change my whole life because of him. What should I do, and is it too late to press charges?

Answer 1

go and get him ... make him pay ..  

Answer 2

I commend you for not killing him.If my husband(or boyfriend)abused me I'd knock his face in.Definitely charge him,he more than deserves it.

Answer 3

As for your case, I believe you can have him charged for physical, emotional and psychological damage. Seek advice from an attorney and if your still married to your husband, i think you can be compensated for the terror he's inflicted upon you. Good luck.

i feel terribly sorry for you and I know how you must feel. Like you, I had to get away from my husband who began to physically abuse me months into our marriage and his family supports him as well.  

Answer 4

charge the battery to thiland. ok.

Answer 5

Just let it go ! No good will come from it. It will cost you too, a lot of time and money. Put it in the past where it belongs. He will be judged one day....but not by you or other mere mortals

Answer 6

You could consult a lawyer and see if you have a case.  You could try to sue him!  People like him are the scum of the earth.  It's a good thing you got out - and a shame you had to move your whole life because of him.

You could put him on dontdatehimgirl.com

You could also try some counselling too, to find ways to deal with your anger and hurt.
