My husband and I have been married for 6 yrs. By mutual agreement I quit working 3 yrs ago to care for our son and my daughter.We have a 6 yr old son, I have a 14 yr lod daughter from a previous marriage and he has an 11 yr old daughter froma previous marriage. last week we were having an arguement about money and the level of involvement I allow in my daughters disapline. It got a little heated, and he called my daughter a whore, this upset me greatly, and I told him I was done with him. The next evening he started in on me again, this time berateing me, how I look, type of mom I am , anything to anger me, then he called my daughter a whore again, but this time, 4 or 5 times, and I snapped, I slapped him. I walked away after that and went to bed, a little while later, he came to get in bed, and I told him to sleep on the couch, he refused, and I nudged him, he grabbed my hand and twisted it back and tried to break it, my daughter witnessed this and called the police. They came out and ended up arresting me, because I slapped him first.Now I am out on a court supervised bond with no contact, I have both of my children with me, and he refuses to leave. I have no priors, my husband has a DWI and a domestic assault charge from a year ago. I am wondering why I am being prosicuted so hard when clearly he has anger issues, and prior dealings and my children and I are made to stay away from our home. I have filed for divorce and a bond modification as well as temproary orders that should let me and my kids back in our home, but I am still worried about this charge and the logic behind it.
