God Was With Me

Donation protected
Sept 3 2016 my husband of a year tried to kill me, we had been at a birthday party for my daughter , my son was also there, my husband had been drinking all day and several people had tried to give him water but he refused to take he kept drinking the alcohol , as the day went on my husband began to make comments about me flirting with people that where at the party and things just kept getting worse and he choked me and people including my 21 yr old daughter saw it (my husband and I have no kids together) immediately my daughter approached him crying very upset and he was asked to leave and of corse he didn't want to leave without me and as a abused women (which nobody knew about at the time) I knew I wasn't leaving with this man because I knew he would beat me if not worse because what no one knew was that our marriage had been on the rocks for the last few months and he had threatened me several times letting me know that he had nothing in the world to loose and if I tried to leave him he would kill me and himself ! So everyone was nice and just said hey is there someone that can come get you and he said fine just have Brandi bring me my phone and so he was sitting in the drivers side of the car and I took him his phone with everyone standing out there and I gave it to him he grabbed me by my shirt and neck and floored it dragging me under the car about 500 feet as I screamed I remember seeing my daughter who is my best friend running after me until we where to far gone, he stopped yanked me on the car over on the passenger side started beating me on my face and head told me we where going to die I reached for my seat belt as I felt him speeding up as soon as I put it on he ran us head on into a tree on my side of the car, he then pulled me out threw the drivers side by my hair I stood up and we where in a neighborhood and I didn't see anyone around he threw me on the concrete laying on my back grabbed my hair and starts banging my head on the concrete , all I could do is think of how much this would kill my kids with no mom I put my hands up behind My head the best I could , the pain was so intense , at this point my prayers only consisted of please don't let him knock me unconscious because I knew if that happend I wouldn't be able to use my hands then he stands up and kicks me with his boot in my mouth and knocks my teeth out then the next kick to my head and the next , my hands are at my ears but the pain is so bad and I'm getting dizzy and very week BUT WAIT I hear a siren and voices , the voices where neighbors coming so when my husband realized I wasn't dieing he decided to dismember my face but first he bit a chunk out of my hand then he bit my thumb so hard he broke it then he bit a chunk out of my cheek, tried to rip my mouth open and then took his fingers and tried to pull my eye ball out !! When they pulled him off he kept telling them just to let them finish me off, as they where putting me on the ambulance he yelled to me that when he gets out on bail he is coming to kill me and the kids!! I had several head lacerations , broken thumb , road rash on my feet legs elbows, and buttucks , staples in my head, facial surgery on my face , I have had two eye surgeries and still have another big one to fix the muscle and nerve, I can't see out of that eye and my future for that eye doesn't look good! I have to wear a patch for the next 4 weeks , hopefully I will be able to get started on my teeth next week ! Mentally, I cry daily, I don't sleep good, my kids have so much guilt because they feel like they should have done this or done this , my son has nightmares my daughter doesn't sleep , we are all going to get theropy ! This is the hardest thing me and my kids have ever been thru , my husband worked two full Time jobs so we no longer have that income that's a adjustment , dr bills , dental , moving, , theropy it's all going to be tuff bit I'm still here and God has a plan for me , I normally don't do things like this but I'm really suffering right now, I want to go ahead and say thank you from the bottom of my heart it means the world to me and the kids! God bless!!!Brandi
