John's personal story

Wow I looked for this kind of resource years ago but there was nothing. I have been a victim of countless attacks by more than one woman but mostly my current partner. In the last incident she smashed a pot plant on my back dislocating my shoulder while I was curled up on the ground. She then beat and kicked me until I ran upstairs and called the police but she pulled the phone cord out of the wall. A call registered at the station and a police car came. She saw it out the front and began punching herself in the face. The police thought I did it and didn't believe I was the victim. I lost custody of our son and fear for his life every day. This was all because I didn't order pineapple on her vegetarian pizza.
