The fact is that men are almost devoid of rights when it comes to fighting back.

I agree, all the woman has to say is 'he hit me', and off to jail you go.

My ex-wife made a habit of this, calling the cops every time we got into an argument. And like a chump, I stayed with her for 4 years enduring it. (Notice I said 'ex-wife, I finally woke up).

Thing is, she tried to tell my current wife all the lies, and was called on it. Haven't heard from her in years. Good riddance.

Our son lived with an abusive woman. He told me he so wanted to clobber he, but knew he would land in jail. She's now in Texas with our grandson and we can't locate her to serve her with custody papers. She's one evil woman; I do know that for sure.

In the days before wireless home phones,my ex had a 25 foot phone line so she could talk anywhere in the house,which,when not in use[very rarely]was curled up in the living room in a large circle.She had a habit of screaming and yelling at me,which I hated,over just about anything.One day,she started in because I was 20 minutes late coming home from work,as the car crapped out on me.We got into an argument,whereupon she picked up my guitar and flung it across the room.As I went to retrieve it,I tripped on the phone cord,and the phone flew off the hook hitting her in the stomach.Not hard at all.By the next day ,[NY],she had an apartment,food stamps,money,and a lawyer appointed by the state.All before noon!I filed for a divorce,but she wanted to try and reconcile.So for the next two weeks,she would spend the weekends with me,and go home to mommy during the week.During her stay on the weekends,I could not sleep with her,as that was my choice.I couldn't picture spending my life with a woman who had lied to CPS,her story to them was,I kicked her in the stomach.When I asked her why she lied,she replied her mother told her to say that to make it easier to get'assistance'.Then I realized I could not live with a traitor.When we went in front of the judge,I was not allowed to say anything in my own defense!I was tried,and convicted without due process.I was awarded 1 hour of visitation with my newborn baby girl a month!Supervised at my sisters house with her and mommy dearest present.For that one hour every month,my daughter was terrified of me,as I was a stranger to her.All the while they looked on with glee.I lasted 7 months,and couldn't bring myself to put her through that anymore.To me,it was child abuse.My only regret was I did not have the money for a lawyer to try and change what was going on.I tried a few times,but I still had to go in front of the same judge which was a waste of time.I have never had a police record of any type,then and now,but my military record was brought up,and instead of helping me,it hurt my case.I was considered a dangerous man due to some of the training I had while in.I ended up throwing in the towel.All my money went to worthless lawyers,rent,and support.The money I made for food was by playing in bars,and if it weren't for my guitar,I would have starved to death.No one more than I,wish this was not a true story.I know of others this has happened to,and I can sympathize with them.The only good thing that came out of it,was,The judges wife left him for another man[lawyer]after 35 years of marriage,and she got every thing!House,money,alimony,etc.I made it a point to call the judge at his house,and gloated,How does it feel to have it done to you?!
