Our system has to change because what I'm currently going through is ridiculous! I'm going to try and get you caught up with where I'm at currently in this whole nightmare.
--witness interviews. I still can not believe this happened to me. I'm a professional business woman. I have children and every time I look in the mirror or down at my hands to see all the bruises I get so upset with him.
OK, The witnesses told the police officers that my then boyfriend continued to punch me in the face. I went unconscious and he continued to hit me with a closed fist. He had me in a head lock and hit me some more and I passed out as he continued to punch my face. When he finally let go I hit the ground and again he continued to punch my back, neck and head. He then grabbed my hair and tried to pull me down the hallway and ripped some of my hair out. That GOD I don't remember any of this. Anyway, when I came to I heard that I was screaming and I would not let anyone touch me. My sister said that my dad tried to comfort me but I just screamed..I feel really sad because I don't remember that and I love my dad. At one point I did remember my seeing my dad and I was still screaming asking my dad not to leave me alone. My 14 year old son cries and says, mom, you were screaming and freaking out. Your head was so swollen and huge. You had this HUGE knot on your forehead and eye. I stood in front of you as you were screaming, you were on the floor up against the wall and you didn't trust anyone, you were screaming if anyone came near you, and you recognized me, you put your hands on my shoulders, put your head in my chest and cried. I then fainted and the paramedics were their. I guess I fainted a few times and the witnesses said my eyes were rolling back in my head. I don't remember paramedics or police but it sounds like 5 cars were their. When the police officers where talking to my son at the point the paramedics were taking me away my son said, what is my mom going to do? she does not have insurance. My sister then said, the hospital changed, a phone call was made and I was now going to a different hospital..what was that about. Was I less of a human at that point?
I just started a new job and don't have insurance yet. Well, I have my days when I'm extremely angry or very sad or scared and feeling anxiety. I can't believe this happened to me. I tell everyone that asks that I was in a car accident because I don't want them to know. It seems easier to say that. I need to be strong and I don't want to keep repeating this. I'm embarrassed and humiliated and terrified all the same time. The next few days have been very stressful and I'll try to get you caught up to where I am today and continue the process as each event happens. I'm getting very discouraged with the Rocklin Police Department Elmwood Correctional Facility and the District Attorneys office..
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!
