Accidentally hurt my gf. Can she have me arrested?
She was chasing our son saying she was gonna beat his a*s. We spank him, but she gets really harsh, sometimes just for little things like spilling water.
My son was getting upset so I tried to block her path so she couldn't snatch him up. I ended up bumping into her and she lost her balance and hit her face on the door. She's got a bruise now.
She was livid, telling me I hurt her and how awful I was and unsupportive, etc.
She left to go to her mom's and now I'm afraid. I didn't mean to hurt her, can she call the cops and have me arrested? Am I going to lose my son?
I don't have any proof, it's my word against her word and the bruise on her face.
She did not take him with her. He is here with me. I texted her to see if we could talk but she hasn't responded.
We have spoken over the phone and I gave her an ultimatum. She will not be contacting the police.
I mentioned therapy and counselling for the both of us on our relationship and parenting.
We are not married so we can't divorce, but I told her that if she does not agree to counselling, I will file for full custody of our son.
She started screaming at me and hung up. I'm going to wait and see if she contacts me again.
To clarify, she has not always been like this. I love her very much but these last few months she's gotten angry and verbally abusive towards me, I was afraid to confront her, but seeing all of your answers have opened my eyes.
Again, I did not hit her. I moved to get between her and our son and bumped into her. She slipped and bumped her head. She didn't fall to the floor.
I'm simply afraid. I don't want to lose my son is all. I have friends who have lost rights to see their kids.
