After a traumatizing domestic violence incident in which I was told to kill myself by my husband, physically assaulted, locked in a closet, then coerced into telling 911 that I was suicidal, though I was not, was kept for 5 days in the hospital, forced to take drugs, unable to see my children, cooperated with the DFCS which required services I had to take, under threat of not closing the case, or reopening the case if I did not comply. My husband of course signed the document for me to not be allowed to be with my own children unsupervised, a worker who I don't even know what she's coming here for is going to be 10 hours in my home, retraumatizing me and enabling my abuser. This nightmare has still not ended 2 months later, and now my husband and our toxic families are further enabled to continue harrassing me despite doing the best I could while being abused with my children in the house. Now I've been treated like a criminal, I have PTSD already, but it's now far worse after all of this. And to top it off, the case worker from DFCS is a very young 20-something, unmarried, no children, who is she to let my abuser off the hook and treat me like a criminal? Everyone has believed my charming husband's lies and enabled him to continue to blame me for how he tortured me and no one can help or will help. I just heard a story of a woman who died because no one helped her, and he finally beat her to death. Just beware, anyone who is being abused by your husband, I've learned that I am supposed to just take the abuse, and my children will be perfectly fine while he abuses me, no harm has been done to them apparently. I didn't take the abuse right, so I better watch it and shut my mouth or someone will take my kids away. Sick world we live in. I guess if you're down and out in this society just pray God takes you, that's all you can do, because the system will just make your life a living hell and your abuser will destroy your life and your children's lives and make you look like the abuser the whole time.
