What is the name of your state? NJ
On Thanksgiving 2009 my wife started a verbal altercation which led to physical violence.
I made plans to visit my brothers family for Thanksgiving day. I have celiac disease and an undefined autistic spectrum disorder. My son has been diagnosed with Asperger's (an autistic spectrum disorder). We are on what is known as the "Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)." Basically, we avoid gluten, corn, potato, rice and complex sugars. We were doing quite well on this regimen.
I was making plans to enjoy Thanksgiving Day when my wife felt that my brothers wife would not be able to assure a safe meal for my son and I.
My wife then interfered with the arrangements and insisted that our family provide our own meal for the evening. To say that it would have been a hardship on both parties is simply inadequate.
During the discussion of Thanksgiving day arrangements my son came down with H1N1. He got very sick but recovered. He was prescribed Tamiflu. Tamiflu contains concentrated starch which is illegal on the SCD. His mood deteriorated while taking Tamilflu.
Shortly after my wife came down with H1N1 as well. She has no spleen. Whenever she gets a fever whatever she has can be fatal. She spiked a fever in excess of 101+. I get very scared whenever this happens and lose years off my life. Our life is very complicated and I don't know what I would do without her.
I canceled our visit with my brother due to illness. I had cut up a turkey into parts and placed it into brine in preparation for cooking Thanksgiving.
I awoke Thanksgiving Day late in the day to find my wife watching TV in our living room. I think she was drinking. She has become a recreational wine drinker as of late.
After caring for my son and my wife who each had H1N1 earlier that week, I came down with H1N1 myself. I had discussed that in lieu of visiting with my brothers family that we could pull something together ourselves and if not, go out to a local Chinese buffet. (Yes, they served turkey.) My suggestion made my wife upset since going out was not "legal" on the SCD diet and may result in mood changes in me or my son.
I awoke Thursday deliriously ill with H1N1. When I walked out to the living room I found my wife watching TV and nothing prepared for the holiday. I noticed that she had made some chili and had left some in the pan. I went back into the bedroom and got dressed. A few minutes later I went back out to the kitchen only to find the pan empty. I asked what happened to the chili and got a mean, "It's all gone" response.
Sensing that she was in one of her moods, I went back into the bedroom and got fully dressed. She came into the bedroom and began harassing me. I repeatedly asked her to move out of my way. When she get's this upset I take a room in a hotel for a few days while she calms down. My wife hates when I go to a hotel for many reasons: marital failure, budget concerns, etc., etc., etc.
My wife weighs nearly 400lbs and is nearly a foot taller than me. I weigh a modest 230 lb. I am afraid of her when she is inebriated and angry. When she corners me in our bedroom I feel extremely vulnerable and scared. This is when I feel most humiliated and emasculated.
She refused to step aside and blocked me from leaving. I pushed her out of my way and she attacked me: she tore a foot long rip in my LEATHER coat in the altercation as I was attempting to leave.
She was once arrested for doing this: that day was the worst day in my sons life, watching his mother escorted out of the house by the police. She has a history of verbally harassing me and assaulting me.
I lost my mind during the altercation. I would not have done what I did had she not provoked and instigated. I was arrested and incarcerated for simple assault and criminal mischief.
I was served a temporary restraining order. We went to court and now have a mutual consent order.
I have a court date on January 25th for the criminal charges. She wants to drop the charges but can't.
I want to file counter complaints but need advice.
