This is my first time blogging but I need to get this out. We need changes to our justice system and a little compassion for people. I was a victim of Domestic Violence, Saturday, April 18, 2009.
This is my story and I will keep you updated as I go along. Saturday, April 18, 2009 was a great day. We woke up early because my 14 year old son was in my cousins Quinceneara in San Jose, CA. My son looked so handsome in his tuxedo so my boyfriend and I all took pictures before we left for a 2 hour and 20 minute drive to the Bay Area. We went to my cousins house and watched the photographer take pictures of all the kids, my boyfriend was taking video while I was taking pictures. 15 of the most Beautiful Low Rider cars drove up to take each couple to the church for the ceremony. We left to the church, then to the hotel to check into our room, say hello to my parents, sister, brother in law and cousins. It was such a great night! We were all have a great time. Right after dinner around 8:00 my boyfriend went to our room go get ready for a gig he was playing at in San Jose.. My niece needed to go to the room so we starting walking towards the hotel door when I realized that I didn't have my room key. I called my boyfriend and asked him to open the door. The phone call cut off, which I thought was really strange so I called back. I asked my boyfriend to open the door to the lobby so we could get in because I couldn't find my key. He met us outside the door, then walked in and didn't hold the door open for us which was very odd but again I didn't think anything about it...or not much about it. My niece, boyfriend and myself were standing right in front of our room. I asked my boyfriend to open the door because he was just standing there. He said, find your own @#$%ing key. I said come on..your going to leave soon and I'm picking you up whats the big deal. Just give me the key. He looked at me and said, Get your own @#%%ing key I said. Then the next thing I remember is my face hurt and I was stunned because he punched me in the face. I could not believe what was happening to me. was I dreaming that the love of my life was hitting me?
He continued to punch me in the face until I was unconscious (from what 2 ladies told the police)
he knocked me out and continued to beat me (and he is a black belt) while he had me in a head lock his punches continued. He let me go and I hit the floor during that time he continued to punch my head, neck and back. he then grabbed my hair while I was knocked out and drug me down the hallway. He turned me over and continued to punch my face and choke me. The next thing I remember was waking up in the emergency room with a police officer asking if I want to press charges. I was lucky to be alive according to the police officers at the scene. My next entry will be what the witnesses statements were and the hell I've gone through trying to serve a restraining order to my ex-boyfriend while he is in jail.
I was so embarrassed and ashamed of my story. It took me 1 year and 6 months for the courage and strength to share my story. I don't want another person to face the challenges my kids and I had to face. The attack was horrific and life changing. We had to fight for protection. Changes need to be made quickly. Please read my story and share. God Bless you!
