Setting a fire is a violent act, even if no one was physically harmed.

It feels like I don't even factor into the equation. The DA's office never interviewed me. I tried to make the police and the DA (the one time we spoke at the grand jury) aware that there was an abusive situation going on before he started the fire. No one followed up on it, and it's left me feeling like I don't really matter. That nothing he did was even worth their time. He had been threatening to kill me. He called me garbage and I felt less than human, like my life didn't even matter to him anymore. And the lack of anything from the police and DA leave me feeling much the same. I'm just some worthless piece of garbage that's not even worth a 30 minute interview to figure out if he's dangerous or not.
