Hi QUEEN OF WANDS,
Similarity to my experience. I was choked ... strangled ... twice and my mouth pulled apart for crying out for help ... horrifying experience indeed.
and you went through it 3 times was it?? OMG!?
This validates that the guy will not change but rather worsen and really, end-up killing himself and/or someone else.

attorney, assigned or not advises them to always, even DDA said it, NOT TO PLEAD GUILTY.
mine was booked for two counts FELONY charge:
1) ADW (assault with a deadly weapon, his hands around my throat), GBI (causing great bodily harm)
2) False imprisonment - he had me pinned down on bed
it could have be sexual assault as he initially tried to unbutton my pants and i refused, things escalated when argument ensued.
Investigator and deputy who interviewed us on site and who wrote the report and decided on booking him with the charges ... were not "happy" with me for contacting the DDA to request / wish to not press charges. DDA agreed anyway.

he admitted, at station in further questioning, though changed from one hand to another and that it "slipped" (deputy's report notes that he change his story). And issue with proceeding to trial, 100% of jury has to agree. And I did hit him FIRST is the issue. And slapped him, etc ... DDA felt that some of the jury would take that into account ...

the police tell me they are trying to get him sentenced to a mental health prison(?)..forced treatment..

this is odd to me, both investigator and deputy said they can't do that IF i and DDA proceeded the Court could have sentenced him to counseling / therapy.
YOU and baby are SAFE. It ... kills me that mine that what he did and hasn't shown any remorse nor attempt to apologize. yours at least did and sounded sincere. he has a ... disease like mine does that they can't really control and it's really sad and I want him to get better. for his sake and for others in his life now and in the future
i'm still in ... shell shock ... and really don't want to ACCEPT that it happened. Grieving and crying some helps but i fight it ... i want to deny it. I just can't believe it.
good luck to you and wish you to find someone to share a healthy and happy life with and your children
